Hey thanks a lot for making this video. It was extremely informative. I'll have to watch it a couple of more times as I plan my trip for Osaka. I leave in July, so this is going to come in handy.
Thank you for watching! I hope you have a great time at USJ. :)
Thank you for this video and all your others. They are very helpful while I'm planning my trip in 2 months from New Zealand.
Thank you for watching my videos. That's great you are visiting here in 2 months! I wish you the best trip in Japan. :)
I love your channels and all your videos! It will be our second time in Japan very soon, and you still learn a lot of things thanks to you!
Thank you so much for your message! I wish you the best time in Japan. :)
Thank you for the awesome guide. I will be going to Japan next month and this video really help plan my visit to USJ.
Thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful. I wish you the best fun trip to USJ!
Great video Kengo san, this will be a big help for us viewers. 2012 when i visited Osaka and Universal Studio, it has lesser crowd back then compared now. Congrats on the Klook partnership! 😎
Thank you Bryan san. Oh you've been there 12 years ago! Maybe many parts of the park and policy has changed since then. And thank you about the partnership. I'm trying new things related to TH-cam as long as it's about Japan travel and they don't unbenefit viewers. 😎
What a great video….filled with helpful information. Arigato Kengo san. 👏🏼💕🫶🏻🌺😎
Thank you Lilly san! I'm glad you liked the video. :) 🤙
Great video as usual Kenchan! Super informative and hopefully it helps a lot of folks that are looking to go to Universal Studios :)
Thank you Ryuga san! I saw a foreign lady with old mother rejected at the entrance of Nintendo World and felt very sad, so I hope more people can know what to expect with this video. :)
Wonderful video filled with lots of practical and invaluable information🥰 ありがとうございますけんちやん! P.S. You were brave to go on the rollercoaster. It looked nail-bitingly daunting to me!😄
Thank you for watching Wendy san! I cannot film anyway so I hesitated but I felt like I'm leaving without doing anything. So I'm glad I got on it after wondering around the entrance for minutes. ^^; I thought I would be ok after but not again for this specific one.
@@tokyokenchan 😊👍...I can understand your reasoning, especially not being keen on that specific ride again, Kenchan. I felt the same way after going on something similar. A Teacup ride seems more appealing now, the older I get!😄
Great video Ken san, very informative.
Would love to see you do one about Tokyo Disney/Disney Sea.
Thank you for watching and your message. I'm sure I'll do more about Tokyo Disney Resorts after Fantasy Springs opens. :)
Thank you! This is the most informative USJ video I've seen, I'll be going next week so this was uploaded right on time for me.
Just to confirm, we're not allowed to bring our reusable tumblers inside right? Only pet bottled drinks are allowed?
Yeah it’s a little confusing. According to the klook website, it sounds like you’re allowed to bring reusable bottles, so long as they’re empty, and after you get in the park you can fill them up at a water fountain. But then on the official usj site it says, “All liquids brought into the park will be inspected. We may check the content of beverages or ask you to drink a small amount.” And then under prohibited items it says, “Thermoses and plastic bottles may be brought into the park. However, these are limited to one 500 ml container per person.” So I’m not sure if that means your container has to be that small or if the amount of liquid you bring cannot exceed 500ml
Hi, as for pet bottle, you can bring in withtout any limitation in number, as long as around 500ml bottole (not big one). There used to be limited up to 1 bottle per person, but that was changed in summer 2023. For tumblers, if it's something with thermo bottles or plastic bottle, what's called 水筒 in Japanese, you can bring in. But not tumbler like the Starbucks one. There is a station you can fill water inside the park.
Hello Kenchen, extremely informative video, especially the part with time stamps, makes it so easy to visualize the plan when someone actually does this. One question i had was if you have any klook discount code to share as i plan to book all attractions thru klook. Thanks
Thank you so much for watching. I’m glad you liked the time schedule of the day. As for the Klook code, it seems Universal ticket is exception from coupon code. I’ll check with Klook again just in case.
@@tokyokenchan sure. I plan to book many attractions in addition to Universal through klook for my family - disneysea, disneyland, shinkansen tickets, joypolis etc. So any discount is good 😊
Hi. It's not my code but there are two discount codes that are available for some of your activities. (1) "BetterOnApp" is a code grants 5% off on a user's first purchase using the Klook app. (2) "SKS10OFF" gives you a $10 discount on Shinkansen tickets. (3) Only if you are from the United States, my code Kenchan5off works for the first time usage. I hope some of these works for you. :)

Very Good. I have been to Universal Studios in Orlando several times, they don't have Nintendo world yet though. I don't think we will visit Universal in Japan however, I would rather see other things. I would also recommend doing attractions when the parades are on because the lines can be shorter.
Thank you for watching! Yes, while I felt hospitality of Osaka there, I almost forgot that I'm in Osaka. So it might not for be for someone seek pure Japan experience.
I learned the hard way to get your express passes early.
I didn't know too! It was confusing.
im coming to Japan again in May. can't wait what else is there to do in Osaka? im visiting osaka this time.
I hvave Osaka video! th-cam.com/video/_qrKXTEP3aI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ro27IvhnbMo1wAmZ I hope you have a great time in Osaka. :)
Thank you very much for these explanations, it's probably the most complete video I've seen on the subject !
On the other hand, I said to myself, when we enter Nintendo World early, is there any reason to buy an entrance ticket for this place (if I arrive at 8 a.m, so take a ticket for 8 a.m-9 a.m) ?
Thank you for watching. In my case, for the part of Nintendo World, I didn't need Express Pass. The timed entry tickets to the Nintendo World is free, but on busy days, it's gone until night slots. I think it really depending on the date. :)
Unfortunately we're going on a Saturday, our travel schedule fell like that, so I'm ready to fight I'll have to be faster or arrive very early (at least for Nintendo World). Thanks for the tips, a good help to prepare mentally :D@@tokyokenchan
Do we have to register express pass as well or we can show it from our mobile?
You can show Express Pass on your phone. No need to register to official app.
Planning to go mid-April, but I’m trying to decide between Sunday or Monday. The thing is Sunday is probably more crowded, but the park is open for 13 hours and only 10 hours on Monday.
What’s your take on this, please?
I would choose Monday for me but if you use Express Pass, Sunday might have more events and opening hours as you mentioned. You might be able compare park event schedules for both days. I hope you enjoy the day!
Thanks for the reply! No, not planning to get the Express Pass actually… Do you think that changes your opinion on choosing Monday? Is the park way more crowded on Sunday?
The Early entry Calendar on Klook is confusing. My date of choice isn't an option. And The official USJ doesn't show those tickets as well. I'll just buy my regular ticket and wait the extra 15 minutes
Yes, it wasn't available on the day I visited too. It seems it's not sold on the official site. You can arrive the gate early if possible to be closer to the front of the regular line.
@@tokyokenchan thanks brother. Thanks for the video, it's helpful to a tourist like myself who plans on visiting Japan next month.
What’s the point of registering the code on the app if you still have to use the pdf qr code to scan entry ?
You register the pass and your nickname to apply for the timed entry tickets for Nintendo, or the waiting system for the Universal Wonderland. So it's not necessary to register if you don't use them.
Hi, my son and I will be going to USJ on April 15, 2024 (Monday - GREEN low season) for his birthday (already purchased entrance tickets via Klook). Our priorities are Super Nintendo World, Harry Potter, Demon Slayer and MHA. We plan to get there 1hr 30mins before published opening time. Do you suggest we still need to purchase Express 4 passes?
If you go there that early, you can get Nintendo either without restriction or with timed entry. But basically, the magic of going there early only works for the first attraction or 2, and the park gets busy. After that, it depends on how you both take it seriously to be on those rides. Right now, I see (I only checked Klook for now) Express Pass for Harry Potter's Forbidden journey and Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia + 1 more ride. It's WITHOUT Nintendo entry but for less than $100 which seems much better than mine. I think it gives you more ease of mind that you can let him see those almost for sure, as Demon Slayer was 3 hours wait for my visit. But it's not a cheap option and April is a little low busy time, so that's something to consider.
@@tokyokenchanis the single rider line the same as the express pass line in USJ attractions?
In some attraction, it seemed it merges at the end. Really at the end though.
なるほどなあw
No one does a video of how to purchase direct from the site. Klook have canceled so many people’s tickets!
Are there anything you find difficult upon purchasing from the USJ's official site? I might be able to check for you. All tips and guide in this video are common for both Klook and official site.
@@tokyokenchan yes, I went today and the express passes have odd dates next to all of them. I would love a video explaining step by step how to purchase tickets directly. And what the dates are and time limits etc on the passes. I could not understand what dates were open when.
@@kerri-annkumar5752
Hi. I cannot make video soon so I can explain a bit about it here. Express pass's "availability" and "time slots" are different depending on the date you visit, so the only thing you can do is to choose from what are available for the date of your visit. It changes everyday. Yes, it is complicating honestly.
(1) From Express Pass page, you choose one of the pass, for example “Fun and Thrills”
Please read the explanation that this is including usage of express lane for Mario Kart, My Hero Academia etc.
If you need express pass for other rides, you have to choose other Express Pass.
(2) click the (+) next to the price, this is the number of express pass you like to get.
(3) and click the blue button “SELECT A DATE”and you’ll see the available date.
(4) For example if you are visiting on June 15, this pass is AVAILABLE. If June 20th, NOT AVAILABLE.
(5) If available on the date you visit, Click the date on the calendar and click “NEXT”
(6) Choose session from the list on the right. Some time slots let you in Nintendo World in the morning, some of them in the afternoon.
(7)Going back to (4) above, if this “Fun and Thrills” are not available on the date you visit, you need to look around.
For example on June 20th, “Fun and Thrills” are NOT available, but "Fun＆Theater" is available. But again, this is not for the same attractions.
So basically, you have to look around the site for the available express pass. Some dates, none of the express pass are available.
@@tokyokenchan wow that was an amazing reply you are so generous with your time. Do you know if the rides are given specific times? I heard one person had Super Nintendo world 12pm and the. The express pass had their next ride at 2pm so not enough time in SNW
You can make it to the next one for sure, but I needed more time in Nintendo so I entered twice like I did in the video.
I was planning on going to Disney, Ghibli World, Universal Studios for my visit this summer. After watching a few videos I have decided I will go to 0 theme parks. It's just underwhelming and overcrowded and does not seem to reflect worthy of the price they ask.
Also my advice: please do not embed your sponsors logo in your video. Its a distraction of your content.
Thank you for advice about the logo. I’d like to be careful in the future.
Great video. But avoid Universal Studios. It doesn’t worth it the hype for Mario and Harry Potter. Enjoy Osaka and don’t waste your money and time in Universal
Yeah I’d agree. So expensive just for the experience of getting on to 3-4 rides max.
You’ll spend the majority of your time standing around. If you live in Japan it might be worth as one time experience but if you just come as a tourist you might be better off doing more sightseeing. Unless you are a hardcore fan or course haha
