Step 1: Go to the Universal Studios Japan Studio Pass page on Klook
You can type 'Universal Studios Japan' into the search bar on the Klook website or mobile app. Alternatively, you can find the Universal Studios Japan product page by going to Explore Destinations > East Asia > Japan > Osaka Prefecture.
Step 2: Check the calendar for the date you’re visiting
On the USJ Studios Japan product page, click the 'Check availability' button and select your desired date of visit. You will then be able to select the types of USJ Studio Passes packages available for that day.
Why are there different prices for USJ Studio Passes?
The USJ Studio Passes are priced based on the different seasonalities - A/B/C/D/E/F - each with a corresponding selling price. A is the cheapest, while F represents the busiest period and hence will be the most pricey.
On Klook, the prices will automatically reflect the correct pass type required for the date you have selected.
Where can I find the Universal Studios Japan Studio Pass price calendar?
![[US] USJ Ticket Price Guide](https://res.klook.com/image/upload/fl_lossy.progressive,q_85/c_fill,w_1000/v1761920236/jrryagbij62skvnr8lg5.jpg)
You can also find the official price calendar on the Universal Studios Japan website. Look for the date you’re visiting the theme park to determine which ticket category you need to purchase.
For example, if you’re planning to visit on Monday, on the 24th, the calendar indicates ‘E’, hence the price reflected will be that of the 'E' pass to enter the park on that day. The price calendars are released up to 2 months in advance.
Klook Tip: We understand that your travel plans might change. Fret not, your USJ Studio Pass is valid for 90 days from the selected date of visit. You may use it for any dates displayed on the calendar corresponding with your pass type A/B/C/D/E/F.
For example, you booked your ticket for 29 May 2025 (Pass type C), but decided not to go due to poor weather. You can still visit USJ on another Pass type C day, eg. 30 or 31 May 2025 — no additional reservation required!
Step 3: Select your tickets and add them to cart
After determining which day you're visiting, you can now also decide what duration pass you want to get — 1 Day, 1.5 Days, or 2 Days. There are also special bundles available on Klook:
- [Klook exclusive: group of 2] 1-day Studio Pass + popular merchandise/meal
- Have Fun in Kansai Premium Pass (includes 1-Day Studio Pass + Super Star popcorn bucket + Super Nintendo World Area Timed Entry Ticket)
- Have Fun in Kansai Premium Pass (1-Day Studio Pass + Super Star popcorn bucket)
- 1-Day Studio Pass + Have Fun in Kansai Pass + Free JR Haruka Express Ticket
Klook Tip: An Area Timed Entry Ticket is necessary to enter Super Nintendo World. You may get one after entering the park via the USJ App [Apple Store | Google Play] or at the Park Ticket kiosk at Central Park. It is also included in selected USJ Express Passes, read on for more details.
Now that you’ve already determined which ticket or bundle you want to purchase, select your ticket category, intended date of visit, and desired quantity then add to cart!
Step 4: Pay for your ticket
Proceed to make your payment once you’re satisfied with the list of items in your cart. There are several payment methods you can opt for namely via credit/debit card, your local e-wallet if already available, and more.
Step 5: Enter Universal Studios Japan directly with your Klook e-ticket!
Upon successful payment, you will receive an email with your order summary (this is not the same as a booking confirmation). Once your booking has been confirmed, you will receive a confirmation email with your e-ticket.
You can use the e-ticket on your Klook App or email to enter Universal Studios Japan directly. That means skipping the queues at the entrance and having more time to explore this exciting theme park!
Maximize your time and budget at Universal Studios Japan with an Express Pass!
If you’re trying to hop on as many rides as possible when visiting the theme park, then you may want to consider getting a 1.5-Day or 2-Day Studio Pass. You can also opt for an additional Express Pass to help you skip the queues!
Klook has four Express Pass options for you:
- Universal Studios Japan Express Pass 4 – allows you to skip the lines of four rides
- Universal Studios Japan Express Pass 5 – allows you to skip the lines of five rides
- Universal Studios Japan Express Pass 7 – allows you to skip the lines of seven rides
- Universal Studios Japan Express Pass 8 – allows you to skip the lines of eight rides
Klook Tip: Remember! A Universal Express Pass does not include entry to USJ — you'll still need a Studio Pass on top of the Express Pass.

Why are there timings on my USJ Express Pass?
When you book a USJ Express Pass, you will be allocated specific timeslots to skip the queue for the time-designated rides covered. For example, if you are allocated the 10:40AM to 11:10AM slot for The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man ride, you will have to be present during that 30 minutes to enjoy the skip-the-queue benefit.
As there are different combinations of these timings available each day, you will now have the option to choose your desired timeslots when you book your USJ Express Pass on Klook! All you have to do is add the Express Pass you want into the cart, and make the selection on the booking page as follows:
Klook Tip: There are only limited quantities of Express Passes available daily. So do book in advance and don't wait till the actual day!
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to book in advance for Universal Studios Japan?
A: Yes, do book in advance, especially for popular dates and Express Passes. USJ stopped selling most tickets at the park gates in May 2025, so you’ll need to buy online (Klook is an official ticketing partner!). Because Express Passes and timed-entry slots (like for the Super Nintendo World area) are limited, these often sell out fastest, so book the moment your date becomes available. You can book USJ tickets up to 2 months in advance, following the park’s current release system.
Q: What if I can’t visit Universal Studios Japan on the date I chose?
A: That's okay! Just make sure to visit on any date that's specific to the price calendar of your purchased Studio Pass type. Your Studio Pass is valid for 90 days from your selected date.
For example, you booked your ticket for 20 August 2024 (pass type C), but decided not to go due to poor weather. You can still visit USJ on another pass type C day, eg. 23 August 2024 — no additional reservation required!
Q: I don’t know which ticket category to purchase because the date I want to visit isn’t on the calendar.
A: If the dates that you’re planning to visit aren’t released yet, you can check back again another time. You can book your USJ tickets up to 2 months in advance, following their current release system. Tickets for each date are released exactly 60 days ahead at 0:00 (GMT+8), with one new date released daily.
Q: When will the USJ Express Passes be made available?
A: USJ Express Passes are released in the middle of each month for visiting the month after, eg. 19 September for November Express Passes. The release schedule may differ each month, so do check out Klook's social media accounts for the latest schedule each month! Do not miss out, for the popular passes run out fast!
Q: If I buy the most expensive ticket, can I use it on any day?
A: You may choose to visit the park only on days with the same price tier as your chosen package. So, even if you have the most expensive ticket (Studio Pass E), you still cannot visit the park on days under Studio Pass A, B, C, or D.
Q: Do I need to print a ticket for the USJ?
A: No, you don't need to print out a ticket. You can use the e-ticket on your Klook App or email to enter Universal Studios Japan directly.
Q: How early should I get to USJ?
A: Get to Universal Studios Japan an hour before the gates open to beat the crowds. Read our guide for top tips to make the most of your day at USJ!
Q: How do I buy Universal Studios Japan tickets?
A: Here’s the step-by-step:
- Decide your date and on the Klook website or mobile app, type “Universal Studios Japan” into the search bar to find the USJ product page. Alternatively, you can find the Universal Studios Japan product page by going to Explore Destinations > East Asia > Japan > Osaka Prefecture.
- Purchase your USJ Studio Pass first since you’ll need this to enter. Different types of Studio Passes are available depending on the bundle it comes with (ex. merchandise like the Super Star popcorn bucket), and if it includes entry into areas like Super Nintendo World. Which one you get depends on what you’d like to do for the day!
- If you want to skip long lines, purchase the USJ Express Pass. 4 types of Express Pass are available: USJ Express Pass 4, 5, 7, and 8. — note Express Passes are add-ons and do not replace the Studio Pass. Some Express Pass packages include timed-entry to Super Nintendo World or The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
- After purchasing the tickets (Klook supports major credit/debit cards, e-wallets, and other payment methods), you’ll receive an e-ticket.
- Enter the park with your e-ticket! No print-out needed.
Q: Which ticket should I buy for Universal Studios Japan?
A: Depends on what you want to do for the day!
- If you just want park entry / a relaxed day: a 1-Day Studio Pass is for you!
- If you want to do lots of popular rides in one day (Mario Kart, Flying Dinosaur, Jurassic Park, etc.): add a USJ Express Pass (4 / 5 / 7 / 8 depending on how many rides you want to skip). Express Passes give timed priority access to selected attractions!
- If your top priority is Super Nintendo World or other timed-entry zones: get a package that explicitly includes the Area Timed Entry Ticket or an Express Pass variant that guarantees timed entry, otherwise you may need to secure a timed entry via the USJ app on the day (which can be competitive). Donkey Kong Country is now part of Super Nintendo World and is covered in Nintendo-included passes.
If you only have one day during a peak period, an Express Pass is your best bet to get more rides done!
Q: Do Universal Studios Japan tickets sell out?
A: Yes, especially Express Passes! Studio Passes for high-demand dates (weekends, Japanese public holidays, Halloween, Christmas, event days) can sell out or be very limited. Express Passes and packages that include Super Nintendo World timed entry frequently sell out first, sometimes within hours of release. If your date is during peak season, book as soon as the calendar for that date is released in order to secure your ticket.
