□USJ ONE PIECE 2025: Best Premier Summer Seats and Character Appearance Locations
ONE PIECE Premier Summer is back at Universal Studios Japan (USJ) this year!
This guide covers:
- ・Seats where you can see your favorite characters up close
- ・Seats with good views—and seats with obstructed views
- ・Seats that may get wet
Here is everything you should know before buying tickets.
□Seating Areas and Features
Seats are divided into S (red), A (orange), and B (blue) sections.
Please note that parts of the layout have changed since 2024.
The stage includes black square platforms. The center platform is large enough for all the characters to stand on together.
The platforms on the left and right can hold about 3 performers each.
◇Seats with Limited Views
Around Seat 7 in Block M (A Seat)
The water stage and upper stage are almost completely out of view.
The center stage and the front-right platform are clearly visible.
Around Seat 7 in Block E (A Seat)
Likewise, the water stage and upper stage are not visible, but this area is close to the S seats and offers a good view of the center stage.
◇Seats That May Get Wet
Front of Blocks C, D, and E
The front row through about row 5 are especially likely to get wet.
Depending on the wind, water may reach rows 4–5.
Front Row, Far Right of Block B (Seat 7)
This seat is close to Block C, and water can splash over when cast members run through puddles.
