Things to do in Yodoyabashi Station

Universal Studios Japan is worth visiting. Rides are manageable good for kids and adults. However they are too strict for height requirements for kids. It’s totally okay not to get express pass as long as you plan what you ride. Zombie night is also super fun!😊

Visiting Universal Studios Japan this time and purchasing the Express Pass was truly worth it. Although it is not cheap, it significantly cuts down waiting times for popular attractions. Highly sought-after rides like Mario Kart and Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey allowed for quick entry, saving a lot of energy and time. The park was very crowded that day, and without the Express Pass, some attractions would have required waiting for over an hour. It is especially convenient for travelers accompanied by elderly family members or young children, allowing more time for taking photos, shopping, and enjoying the park's atmosphere. The overall redemption process is simple—just show the QR Code at the entrance. Highly recommended for first-time visitors to Universal Studios or travelers with limited time.

Kohei was great and the whole experience was awesome. I love my chopsticks and would highly recommend this to everyone.

Price: Very good. Experience: The best, it gets you up and down very quickly. There were too many people there; with the Express Pass I was able to make it for the sunset, otherwise I wouldn't have stood a chance 😅

one of the highlights of our trip for both kids and the adults - we had 7 kids and 6 adults and they were awesome! Our kids ages 5-9 had the best time and will have something to remember for ever! Really cool to have custom chopsticks with their names laser engraved. highly recommend for anyone in Osaka!

Had an absolute ball. super friendly staff, safety was excellent with hand rail getting into boat and comfortable seating. Fun captain and music made it super enjoyable and some brief history in various languages. well thought out quick 20 minute tour but worth it for the experience and photos.

My second-grade son recently became interested in sumo, so we booked a sumo experience and visited. It was close to the station and easy to find. Mr. Ryu and Mr. Kai's demonstrations were excellent, and the explanation of sumo history was very informative. My son absolutely loved the chance to compete against the sumo wrestlers at the end! He was the only child among the participants, and they raised his hand as the champion at the end, which made him incredibly happy! :) There were many foreigners, so the explanations were given in fluent English. However, as a Korean who is more comfortable with Japanese than English, I thought it would be great if the historical explanations were also available in other languages, like Korean, or even just in Japanese! Anyway, we had a wonderful time, and it was a valuable experience that was well worth the money! :)

My old coin was easily transformed into a beautiful ring! I made some wonderful memories in Osaka. I participated with my mother, as we always do, and the staff kindly taught us how to make the rings, so we were able to create truly lovely pieces. In addition to ring making, they also offer workshops for chopstick making and Kintsugi (the art of repairing pottery with gold), so I think there are many things to enjoy. The shop was newly opened, bright, and clean, located on the 8th floor of a building with great views, including the Kabuki-za theater. It was a wonderful spot. It was also conveniently located near Namba and Shinsaibashi, making it great for sightseeing. I had no idea there was such a fantastic workshop in Osaka. I highly recommend it to everyone. Next time, I'd like to try Kintsugi. The prices were also very reasonable.

Very good workshop and step by step guidance given to complete the activity right from cracking a plate to repairing the crack and making it more beautiful !! the guide was very helpful and patient with me in teaching me. thank you for the experience!!
