The Harry Potter area in Japan has a lot of trivia inside,which most Japanese don’t know.

Don’t just ride the Hippogriff roller coaster at Hogwarts Castle, you can also enjoy the world of Harry Potter.

How to get to the Harry Potter area

The Harry Potter area is in Universal Studios Japan, which is located in Osaka.

How to go to the Harry Potter area, from Kansai International Airport

When you want to go to Universal Studios Japan, Kansai International Airport would be the nearest airport.
You can take the airport bus directly to the Universal Studios Japan bus stop.
The bus ride time is approximately 1 hour. In most cases, you would get off at the last stop, so you won’t have to worry about getting off at the wrong place.
The fee is 1600 yen. Please note that you will be passing through a highway that is often congested in the mornings and evenings. Be sure to allow plenty of time.

You can also go by train, but you will need to change lines several times.
You may get lost as you will have to change trains at a major station.
The journey takes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. The fare is 1210 yen if you go by JR Line. If you use the Nankai train, it costs 1,360 yen.

If you get lost, the people of Osaka will kindly give you directions. However, there are many Japanese people who cannot understand English or Chinese.
When you ask questions, use simple words. Correct English may not be understood.
Ask questions using as few words as possible, such as “Excuse me," “Universal Studios Japan," and “Where is?"

How to go to Universal Studios Japan from Studio Tour Tokyo

Some people may get off at Narita International Airport or Haneda Airport in Tokyo.
If you’re coming to Universal Studios Japan after experiencing Studio Tour Tokyo in Tokyo, take the Shinkansen to Shin-Osaka Station.

It takes about 4 hours to get from Studio Tour Tokyo to Universal Studios Japan by train and Shinkansen.
It costs about 15,000 yen.

How to get to Harry Potter Area, after arriving at Universal Studios Japan

Be sure to purchase your admission ticket to Universal Studios Japan in advance.
On busy days, tickets may not be sold on the day of the event.

The Harry Potter area is a closed area with a common entrance and exit.
After passing through the forest through an entrance lined with giant stones, you will arrive at Hogsmeade Village.

When it’s really crowded, you need a numbered ticket to enter the Harry Potter area, but I have never needed one recently.

Harry Potter area show

A show featuring magical creatures is being held until December 31, 2023.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to interact with these four magical creatures.

Order to enjoy the Harry Potter area

In the Harry Potter area, there are many ways to enjoy attractions, wizard experiences, restaurants, shopping at magic shops, stage shows, and more.
To enjoy everything, it takes 3 hours even on days when the waiting time is short.
Usually it will take about 5 hours.

Here are some recommended ways to get around.

If you are also going to Super Nintendo World (Donkey Kong Country), be sure to get an area ticket using the official app as soon as you enter Universal Studios Japan.
If you want to go to Super Nintendo World after enjoying the Harry Potter area, it’s too late.
By that time, the distribution of numbered tickets for Super Nintendo World will have ended.

To Hogwarts Castle

The most beautiful scenery in the Harry Potter area. Hogwarts Castle

Let’s take a commemorative photo in front of the castle.
After riding an attraction, your hair may be a mess or your face may be cloudy due to motion sickness.

After entering the area, go straight until you reach the area, and you’ll see the castle.

Go to the Hippogriff attraction

First, let’s ride the Hippogriff attraction.
This attraction is an attraction where Muggles (humans) train to fly Hippogriffs .

It’s a thrilling type attraction that even elementary school students can ride, so even people who aren’t good at roller coasters are able to ride it.
However, if you have never ridden a roller coaster at an amusement park, you may feel the thrill and scream.
But it’s okay. You can return to the ground safely.

There is Hagrid’s house in the queue for the attraction.
If you take a commemorative photo in front of the house, it will be a great memory.

Notes for Attractions

There are rules regarding heights, even adults too large cannot ride.
Small children cannot ride either.

You cannot ride if you are taller than 195cm (6.3 feet).
Also, people who are large or have long legs cannot ride.
However, you can ride on the first car.

Many people go on , but then get off the ride without ever starting, because the safety bar doesn’t fit for them.

Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey

“Harry Potter Forbidden and the Journey" is an attraction which you can experience inside the world of Hogwarts Castle, without 3D goggles.

You can feel the heat of the flames breathed out by dragons and the cool air of the dark magical creatures Dementors.

Notes for Attractions

There are no height restrictions, but you may not be able to ride the attractions depending on your physique.
There are seats for the ride at the gate in front of Hogwarts Castle, so if you are not slim, you can take a test ride and see if you can fit it.

It is narrower than a typical ride.

This is one of the most intoxicating rides at Universal Studios Japan.
If you are prone to motion sickness, just enjoy a walk around Hogwarts Castle and let the crew know before boarding to escape.
If someone else is participating, you can take a break at the child switch waiting area.

Ollivander’s Wand Shop Magic experience

The wand needed for using magic in the Harry Potter area can be purchased at Ollivander’s Wand.

There are two ways to buy Ollivander’s wand: you can choose your favorite wand at a regular shop and buy it, or you can buy a wand in a special box by being chosen by the Wand Keeper at an attraction.

The Wand Keeper can speak English.
You can experience famous scenes that appeared in the first Harry Potter movie. However, only one person can get the magic wand out of the 30 people who experience it at the same time.

Notes for Attractions

When you walk through the door of an ordinary store, it becomes an attraction.
Young children are often not ready for it, so they start crying in fear of suddenly entering a magical, mysterious, dark room.

It may be best to avoid children under the age of 5, unless they are not afraid of the dark and have seen the Harry Potter movies.

If you haven’t seen the movie, there are some lines and scenes that you might not be able to understand.
For those who have seen the movie, you will have a special time experiencing the world of movies.

Magic experience

Now that you have a magic wand, let’s use magic.
You can use magic in eight places in the Harry Potter area.

You can use magic to control fire, water, wind, snow, and nature, as well as magic to unlock locks, levitate objects, and release steam from locomotives.

Magic doesn’t always work.
The correct spell and wand movement are important.

Compared to Universal Studios in America, the magic in Japan is more intense and the success of the magic can be clearly seen in its appearance.

There is a medallion on the ground where you can use magic.
Depending on the time of day, a magic teacher will teach you how to swing a wand.

This attraction has long lines depending on the time of day.
If you fail about 3 times, pass it on to the person behind you.

If only one person in the group has a cane, only one person will be allowed to line up.
If you don’t have one and would like to experience it, please get a cane and then line up at the back of the line.
If possible, it would be a good idea to buy one for each person to save time.

Restaurants

Wizards that appeared in the Harry Potter movies gather in the restaurant.
You can eat meat dishes, Butterbeer, and sweets.

If you sit on the terrace, you can enjoy your dish while looking out at Hogwarts Castle and the lake.

You can eat inside the restaurant in a place where you can feel like the wizard is on the second floor.

On busy days during lunch hours, there may be lines for 1 to 2 hours.
I recommend eating around 11 o’clock.

Stage shows

Two types of shows are held on the stage, about 10 times per day.
(The number of events varies depending on the day)
Each show is about 10 minutes long, so you can watch it casually.

Please note that there will be standing rooms only.

Triwizard Spirit Rally & Frog Choir

This is a show full of strength and grace, with the strong students of Durmstrang School and the beautiful students of Beauxbatons School.

Frog Choir

This is a show where students from a magic school sing along with frogs.
They also arrange the songs that appeared in the Harry Potter movies.

Shopping

There are 8 stores in the Harry Potter area.
A shop, selling sweets such as robes worn by Hogwarts students, and candy that tastes like things you wouldn’t normally eat.
A shop, which sells naughty goods.
And a shop, which sells owl letters…There are many different kinds of shops, so it’s fun just looking around.

There are many goods for sale that can only be purchased in this area, so if you want something, buy it here.

Summary of Harry Potter Area

Unlike Studio Tour Tokyo, the Harry Potter area offers amusement park-like play elements and shows.
It has become very popular among overseas travelers since 2023.

Enjoy them all, I will assure you a variety of experiences.
