What to know
1. The Warner Bros Studio Tour Tokyo - The Making of Harry Potter is an exhibition and not a theme park with rides.
2. The main experiences offered are the immersion in the Harry Potter universe and insights into the process of filmmaking.
3. The studio can be accessed by around 20-minute ride from Shinjuku on the Toei Subway Oedo line or Seibu line. It’s 2 to 3 minutes walk from Toshimaen station.
4. Tickets are reservation-only and are not sold at the entrance.
5. Ticket bookings can be made on the official site or via KLOOK, an online travel agency, which might have more available dates.
6 Arrive early for the tour to maximize your enjoyment and time spent at the studio.
7 A QR code is used for entry, and you should plan to arrive at least one hour before the start of your tour.
8. Wear COMFORTABLE SHOES. It’ll be a long walk.
9. Luggage can be stored for no charge at the entrance.
10. It was cold inside. Inside the building is well air conditioned. Make sure to have an extra layer in case it’s too cold.
11. Audio guides in English are available if ordered in advance.
12. A souvenir paper ticket can be obtained at the service desk.
13. Use the restroom before starting the tour as there are no facilities available for the first 30 minutes.
14. There are dining places and a souvenir shop in the lobby area that you can visit before and after your tour. There is a changing room.
15. You can choose to purchase and wear robes and wands like the Harry Potter characters for the tour.
16. The tour starts with a theater presentation and then proceeds to "The Great Hall" where you can start exploring at your own pace.
17. Ensure you have created an account using the QR code provided at the entrance for taking videos at certain locations.
18. BOOK MORNING TIME SLOTS
If possible, book the earliest time slots for a more comfortable experience with fewer people. Operation hours change depends on the date.
19. Price for food and drinks can be a bit higher than average theme parks.
20. Try to rewatch the movies before your visit to enhance your experience of the exhibits.
21. Expect a paid video session of riding on a broomstick. 2500 Yen to download.
22. The tour will also take you to the world of the London Ministry of Magic, Diagon Alley, and exhibits about film making.

A great video for Harry Potter fans! If a visitor watches this video, they will be informed of details that will guarantee them a smooth and enjoyable visit, helping them to enjoy all the studio has to offer! We share this with our friends who are fans!
Kevin san, Dayle san, thank you so much for your support again and also your feedback for this video. I'm glad if I could share some information for future visitors. It's a great place for fans and even for me, it was amazing to learn about how they pay attention to sounds and details of the scene that most of audience probably don't notice. Thank you again. :)
You've done a very good job explaining this tour for Harry Potter fans.
Thank you. I'm glad to hear that. :)
Awesome Tour. Thank you for all the details, they will make my visit extra special.
That tour really looks amazing. As a big Harry Potter fan, I have yet another reason to return to Tokyo soon. Thanks a lot for sharing all this very good information with us Kengo.
Thank you for watching. This place is really good to visit if you are a Harry Potter fan. :)
I'm a huge harry potter fan but I went to japan on march this year and the tour wasnt open yet, I will save this video for my next trip to japan! Thank you :)
That's great. I'm sure you can spend a day in the studio if you like Harry Potter. It was quite impressive.:)
Thank you for this Harry Potter tour! I am so excited to see this next week! ❤
Glad you liked it. Thank you for watching. Have fun next week. :)
Thanks! Another great video!
Irene san, thank you so much for your warm support for the video! I hope you can visit when you come here next time. ^^
Thank you very much Kenchan for making this video and for giving us all the tips! 😄 I have saved this info for my next trip to Japan 😃
Thank you for watching. I hope you enjoy the visit to Harry Potter next time!
Thank you for the video. That was so informative and definitely will help us prepare for when we visit there ❤
Thank you for watching. I hope you have a great time there. :)
Thank you so much for this guide! I cannot wait to see this when I come back next year!
Hope you enjoy there! Thank you for watching. :)
Good thing I found your video. We are going there next week and I have been checking other videos before about the tour, but your video explained so much in detail and is very very helpful. I booked the 3pm slot because all the morning ones are gone, and it’s good to know we can be there early to check the souvenir shop & the food hall. Thank you and keep it up!
Thank you for watching. I'm glad you liked the video. As for the audio guide, I'm asking the studio now. It seems they only sell as a package with tickets, and don't sell at the entrance. Everything in the studio is in English, so you have enough signs and videos to see in case you cannot get English audio.
That was fabulous!
Thank you for watching!
Hi Tokyo Kenchan, I have seen a few youtubes on this subject but I think this is the best, the incidental advice and comments are really helpful. I am going with my family in December and really looking forward to it. Thanks for your video's, I enjoy them.
Hi, thank you for watching the video. I'm glad you found it helpful. I hope you have a great visit in December. I hope they have Christmas trees :)
Thanks for this video, will add this to my to-visit list next month.
Thank you for watching. It's just opened and busy, so I recommend you to get the ticket as soon as you know the schedule.
This is such a beautiful video! Thank you so much for this, I can’t wait to go there one day; hopefully soon 😊
Thank you! I hope you can visit here too. :)
Superb video. Informative, packed with very useful information presented without overwhelming the viewer. Great job!
Thank you for your kind comment and detailed feedback for the video! I really appreciate it.
Thanks Kenchan for this awesome informative video! I am a Harry Potter fan and I will definitely include a visit to Harry Potter Studio on my trip to Japan this October. 😊
Thank you for watching! That's great you visit Tokyo in October. :) I recommend you to check the booking site soon since some dates can be full especially in the morning slots. I wish you the best trip in Japan.
Very cool to see that they released a Harry Potter Studio in Japan! Thanks for sharing Kenchan!
I saw on Instagram that you are in London so it might not be something you are interested in, but I'm happy they opened this in Tokyo!☺
@@tokyokenchan Yes, we have had this for many years but it is cool to see it available in other places.
Yeah, I’m going to visit the HP studio this year end. And celebrate new year countdown with Ayumi Hamasaki at Yoyogi again ❤
One “To do” on my next trip..Domo Arigato
Thank you for watching :)
Thanks for the video, it was really informative and had all the details I was looking for 😊
Regards from India 😊
Thank you for watching :) Have a great trip.
Amazing video.
Thank you!
Hi Kenchan,
thanks for the video. It was great that you pointed out the difference between this studio tour and the Harry potter rides at Universal Studio parks.
I fully agree that you should watch at least 1 of the Harry potter movies before going to this
studio tour.
The ticket prices are not cheap so I will need to think whether I should go to this place especially since i am heading out of Tokyo from Narita Airport.
Hi. Thank you for watching. Yes, even locals didn't know what the studio tour was first. As you mentioned, it's expensive for the facility and the foods. While it's understandable for the very limited number of customer can go in at one time slot, it is not for everyone visiting Tokyo.
The steam engine on display there isn't the real engine they used in the films, the real engine they used in the films was 5972 Olton Hall and that's on display at the UK attraction. This one in Japan is actually 4920 Dumbleton Hall.
ハリーポッターに関するアクティビティってユニバーサルスタジオの他にもあったんですね。びっくりしました！🎉
はい、ユニバーサルのようなライド型のアトラクションはないので、どちらかというと体験型美術館という印象です。コアなファンの方にはどちらも必見ですね。😄
Nice
I'm going there this december. I'm glad i found your video. In the London studio one can open the doors if it's their birthday. Can it be done here too?
Thankyou for the informative video. Planning to go In November. Does the guide do the introduction in Japanese?
Yes that beginning part was only in Japanese. I hope you have a great trip in November.
Thanks for the video. I will visit the japan this spring. I have a question, can i bring a selfie stick enter the studio?,,because i might be come alone..
Hey, wanna ask about that cloakroom. do they allow any size of luggage and handcarry?
Hello, I am planning to go this month and want to know can we buy a robe before the tour starts? I don’t have one and want to take pictures wearing one. Also how much does it cost? I can go to the nyc store and buy one for $100 plus tax now but is it cheaper there ?
Great video. Tokyo has more and more attractions. I've been to the UK Harry Potter tour and the Tokyo one here looks very nice.
I have a side question, I want to visit Ghibli Park when I go to Japan this year and tried to get the tickets online. I managed to get tickets to the warehouse but the other parts were sold out for international buyers. Is it possible to buy the tickets locally last minute and how so I do it? Thanks in advance 😊
Thank you for watching. As for the Ghibli Park, I think even locals cannot get in last minute. If you get phone number in Japan, you maybe able to purcahse at Lawson's machine if available. I saw both international site and Japanese site now, and the Japanese site has more tickets avaiable, but The Hill of Youth is only sold as a set with the Warehouse in Japan. The Dondoko forest is sold out in international site and still on sale in Japan, but very very limited slot of certain date. 😅
@@tokyokenchan Thank you so much for your reply. I didn't see the Hill Of Youth and Warehouse package in the international site 😢 I guess I'll have to return to Japan again to visit the other sites
Thank you for this video! I have a question: Can you go back to previous rooms? You said we are free to explore. But I'm worried if we go to the next room, we can't go back anymore.
Thank you for watching. It seems the facility is basially not made to go back. But before you go out of the dark forest, you can go back and look around as there is no border and restriction. I came to the restaurant too early for lunch so I asked if I can come back later, but I was told no. Hope you enjoy there anyway!
Hello KenChan Great Video! I hope you can answer my question. Can you still enjoy this tour if you are going alone/solo/by yourself? I will be going to Tokyo by myself, and I don't know if it is embarassing to go by myself. Arigatou!
Hello! I'm sure you can enjoy by yourself too. It's more like a museum so you can take your time to look around. If you feel some photo session are intimidating (even for 2 or group), you might be able to skip. But it's never never embarrassing. :) Hope you have a good time in Tokyo and Harry Potter.
Hi Kenchan , we are already booked ticket from klook , and they have sent us the qr code , so where and how we can redeem these qr code ? Please inform us , thanks Kenchan
けんさんの動画の撮り方はすっごく上手になりました。私、USJのハリー・ポッターに行ってきましたが、東京のツアーに比べればUSJより楽しそうですね！ユーチューブのチャネル頑張ってね😊
ありがとうございます！ファンの方は東京と大阪どちらも楽しいでしょうね。☺️
@@tokyokenchan アトラクションはめっちゃくっちゃ楽しかったですよ。2回も乗ってきました😂
How to get there from narita airport?
Also, where can I buy the English Audio? I can’t seem to find it in their website. Can I buy in the studio entrance?
Hello. In case you like to add the English Audio after purchasing the tickets (or if you purchased at agency which has no audio option), you can contact them and add it. If you open the page between 9:00am～16:00 in Japan time, chat box shows up so you can ask there.
Question…if I reserve for noon entry…can i eat there first before the tour…? And is there a time limit? Great content btw
Thank you for watching. It seems usually you can enter the building one hour before the tour time. So you can eat there before the tour.
Hi! How many hours do you need to allot when visiting Warner Bros Studio Tour Tokyo? We are planning to go as early as 09:00 A.M. then will go to teamLab Planets TOKYO. I wonder if I can do it at the same day?
Hi. It's possible if you could visit the teamLab at the end of the day. I spent about 5 hours at Harry Potter but if you walk thorugh the studio, you can finish in 1 hour. Even if you stay by 2 or so, you can be the teamLab by 4. Harry Potter is in the other end of Tokyo, it takes about 1 hour by train.
Ill be in Tokyo july 5-12. Any way i can buy tickets so last minute? Thanks for video
Hello. I looked around and so far Klook has the biggest slots, but I couln't find any available dates in July. :(
@@tokyokenchan thank you for trying. If you see anything let me know. 🤙🏽
Hello thanks for the guide. How to order the audio guide please?
Hello. Thank you for watching. You can order the audio guide as a set with ticket from the official site. If you purchase from agency site, you can contact them from the official site's contact form and ask for the audio guide. This was the reply when I checked with them in July. Hope you enjoy your trip. :)
I think the tour is very dedicated to Harry Potter's fans but as someone who are not really into Harry Potter it's quite expensive if you buy all the things in the video. Any of you that not a Potter head still visiting this place? I want to hear your opinion, so i could decide is it worth to go there or not.
Do i have to make reservations for the cafe? Or can i just walk in?
Hello. You can just walk in. No need to reserve the cafe.
Huh I didn’t realize u have to book couple of months ahead :(
Yes, Klook has a little more tickets available, but you still might need to get a month before. Sorry about that. :(
