Best park in my life ! 30 minutes to 1 hour in early September for the best attractions, if you want to do everything you should buy the fast pass.

I forgot that my first tickets were for two people and had been canceled, so no matter how many times I scanned them at the machine, they wouldn't work! My Japanese sister took me to the service counter to ask for help, and thankfully, they printed physical tickets for me 😄. The service counters in Japan are really great; they get everything done in one go 👍, and I was able to get on the train without any problems. I think this experience reminded me that I have to delete canceled tickets so I don't waste too much time messing around in front of the machine!

Due to my own carelessness, I wasn't able to exchange the tickets successfully because I scanned a QR code that had already been canceled. Thankfully, with the help of a friend, everything was completed smoothly, and I finally got the physical tickets sorted out.

No need to exchange for physical tickets, just use the QR code on your phone to enter the station. It's very convenient and saves time, highly recommended to purchase.

After spending a whole day in the park, the summer parade was very fun, and the staff would shoot water guns. After entering the park, you can use the USJ app to get Nintendo area admission tickets, which are very easy to obtain. However, the queue times for each game are very long, so consider whether you need to buy an express pass.

The area is too huge. I chose to explore rather than entering the pavilions due to long queues.
