Universal Fun at Universal Studios Japan 📸

Back for round two at Universal Studios Japan and trust me, it’s just as epic as the first time—maybe even better. If you want to make the most out of your day, here’s the ultimate lowdown (from someone who learned the hard way about those crazy-long lines!).

First things first: you NEED the whole day here. Set that alarm and arrive early so you can beat the crowds and dodge agonizing wait times. Booking your ticket online is a total lifesaver—skip the hassle and get straight to the action. You can grab tickets in advance from trip.com!

My pro tip? Rush straight to The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter (2 Chome-1 Sakurajima, Konohana Ward, Osaka, 554-0031, Japan; Hours: 8:00-22:00 most days). Hit up Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™ first—it’s the main event and lines get wild later! (Located at 2 Chome-1-33 Sakurajima; Open weekdays 9:00-21:00, weekends from 8:00-21:30.) The ride is pure magic and sooo worth it.

Next, make your way to the classic JAWS ride for that once-in-a-lifetime thrill. Swing by Amity Village (〒554-0031 Osaka, Konohana Ward, Sakurajima, 2 Chome−1, １番33号; Open 8:00-22:00) and soak up those old-school vibes. It’s perfect for an IG story moment!

Don’t forget to hop on the Hollywood Dream coaster—this one will have you screaming and laughing at the same time. It’s a must-ride.

While you’re there, stroll through Amity Village for some chill time and snacks, then save your energy for Despicable Me Minion Mayhem (2 Chome-1 Sakurajima, Konohana Ward, Osaka, 554-0031)—the minions are absolutely chaotic and Gru’s house is adorable. You and the minions together? ICONIC.

Feeling playful? Check out The Flying Snoopy for some cute, wholesome fun—perfect for lifting your mood after those thrill rides.

What can I say? Universal Studios Japan (2 Chome-1-33 Sakurajima, Konohana Ward, Osaka; Opening hours vary, usually 8:30-21:30/22:00; Admission: around ¥477) just hits different.

Ready to relive your childhood or flex your courage? This Osaka adventure will have you snapping pics and screaming “OMGGG!” all day. Don’t forget to wear comfy shoes, bring your best squad, and get your tickets early for max vibes!
