Super Nintendo World (USJ Osaka)

You have to visit Super Nintendo World at USJ at least once!

Imagine walking right into the world of Mario & Luigi... Welcome to Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Japan! The vibe is truly amazing. Inside, you’ll find full experiences like Mario Kart: Koopa's Challenge, Yoshi's Adventure, and the newest zone Donkey Kong Country, which just opened at the end of 2024.

What I also love are the many mini-games using the Power-Up Band (additional purchase ~3,800 yen) to join quests, collect coins, tap NFC to enjoy the views, or challenge Bowser Jr. in the “Shadow Showdown.”

The cafes are fantastic too! At Kinopio's Cafe (Toad Cafe), there are super cute Mario-themed menu items like the Super Mushroom Pizza Bowl or Question Block Tiramisu. For those who love taking photos, don’t miss out—you need to book a time or get in line quickly because the queues are really long.
