SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, which was scheduled to open on February 4, 2021, has been postponed. This is due to the state of emergency issued by the Japanese government to Osaka Prefecture.

Re-postponed grand opening date

The new grand opening date will be decided and announced after the state of emergency is lifted.

The state of emergency will be enforced until February 7. However, government experts say that it may be extended again if the situation does not improve even after the deadline is reached.

No one knows when it will be announced until February.

USJ will continue to operate with a maximum of 5,000 visitors.

Mario Cafe and Mario Store are still open.

There are so few visitors that the admission limit of 5,000 people is unnecessary even before the state of emergency is declared.
