Review for: Namba & Umeda · Return · USJ (Universal Studios Japan) · 21:00

only took the ride back to Namba in the evening. the driver contacted adequately with clear instructions beforehand, and able to accommodate to our request to bring the time forward as we are the only group. besides, driver even offered to send us to hotel straight. given just few dollars per pax more than the bus ride (and we need to walk a super long way to take the bus, and still need to find own transport back to hotel), I think this shared transport is super worth it! it's a breeze to take the bus just outside the park at the taxi stand.

We booked this transfer twice—morning to USJ and evening back to our hotel. Morning Trip – Excellent (Yuri’s Company) Yuri’s service was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. They contacted us 24 hours before pickup, and everything was smooth and organized. The only minor issue was the plate number in the booking not matching the actual vehicle, so the provider’s advance message was very helpful. Evening Trip – Very Disappointing The evening booking from USJ had many issues. The provider never contacted us 24 hours before pickup. I emailed them 2 hours before but got no reply, and their +86 WhatsApp number wasn’t reachable. I contacted Klook, and the agent told us to wait until the scheduled time. USJ closed at 8PM, our pickup was at 9PM, and we were at the pickup point from 8:30PM to 9:15PM, waiting in the cold. We were exhausted and eventually left and took another transfer. We got a refund, but the experience was stressful. The driver only reached out at 9:40PM, far too late.

This was my first time using a shuttle service to Universal Japan, and it was incredibly convenient! The car was new and very clean. The driver was a woman; she messaged me to confirm the appointment one day before the trip. She was extremely kind and provided excellent service, always smiling. Usually, when we go to a theme park, we need a lot of energy, so traveling this comfortably saved a lot of energy in the morning! I highly recommend it.

The staff was very polite and lovely. They contacted us via WeChat one day before the trip. We traveled in an Alphard, which felt like a private service because there were no other passengers. The car picked us up right in front of the hotel.

Comfy ride and super convenient! Driver messaged me during the day and was in constant communication with me. Meeting pick up point was easy to find (at the USJ Taxi stand). It says 9 pm but I messaged the driver that we were early so he picked us up at 8 pm. It says here shared ride but it was just me and my son in the car. We were soooo tired the whole day at the park so it was really nice we didn't have to commute going home. Since the drop off point is near our hotel, the driver just dropped us right in front of our hotel! Highly recommended!

Comfy ride and super convenient! Driver messaged me the day before and was in constant communication with me. Meeting pick up point was just across our hotel! It says here shared ride but it was just me and my son in the car. We arrived early at USJ and we were able to line up early as soon as we arrived. Highly recommended if you want to save time using the train or bus.
