Children and families with small kids can enjoy Universal Studios Japan (USJ) in various ways. Learn how to efficiently navigate active attractions, enjoy Mario Kart, and manage long wait times for attractions. Here are some tips to help you plan your visit.

How to Enjoy Universal Studios Japan

Universal Studios Japan (USJ) has a vast array of attractions and shows, making it impossible to experience everything in a single day. This is why many visitors hold annual passes and return multiple times.

In this guide, the editor-in-chief of Happyell, who visits USJ more than 50 times a year, will share **tips and strategies to enjoy Universal Studios Japan efficiently in a single day.**

Preparing well before your trip will make your park experience smoother. Be sure to read until the end!

USJ Strategy: Preparation Edition

To make the most of your visit to Universal Studios Japan, preparation is key. This section covers essential points to check before your visit.

◆ Download the Official App Beforehand

Downloading the official USJ app makes gathering information inside the park much easier.
If you wait until you arrive at Universal Studios Japan to install it, you may experience slow download speeds, reduced data limits, or a rapidly draining battery.

We recommend installing the app at home or at your hotel before your visit.

Benefit 1 of the App: Real-Time Wait Times and Show Schedules

The USJ app allows you to check attraction wait times anytime while inside the park. Use it to decide your next destination after checking the shortest lines and upcoming show schedules.

Most attractions are spread out, so without the app, you might waste time walking only to discover that the wait time is too long.

Although there are two locations in the park where wait times are displayed, they may not always be convenient or efficient to check.

Benefit 2 of the App: Area Entry Tickets and “Yoyakunori" Passes

Using the app, you can obtain area entry tickets for Super Nintendo World and free ride reservations (“Yoyakunori") for Universal Wonderland attractions.

Yoyakunori allows you to enjoy priority access during a designated time slot, reducing your wait time compared to standard lines.

Arrive at USJ One Hour Before Opening! Three Reasons Why

To fully enjoy Universal Studios Japan, arriving before the park opens is key.
If you don’t have special tickets, here’s a guideline for arrival times based on how crowded the season is:
– **Extremely busy periods**: Arrive by 6:30 AM.
– **Busy periods**: Arrive by 7:00 AM.
– **Moderately busy periods**: Arrive by 7:30 AM.
– **Quiet periods**: Arrive by 8:00 AM.

Benefit 1: Early Entry to Super Nintendo World

During extremely crowded times, entry tickets to Super Nintendo World may only be available for late afternoon by 8:00 AM. By 9:00 AM, only evening slots may remain, and by 10:00 AM, night slots could be the only option.

Since the opening of Donkey Kong Country, tickets have been running out faster than ever. Even if you arrive at 6:00 AM, you might not be able to enter before 9:00 AM.

Benefit 2: Shorter Wait Times for Attractions

Many popular attractions have significantly shorter wait times early in the morning. For example, **Demon Slayer XR Ride** may have a 30-minute wait time right after opening but can exceed two or three hours in the afternoon.

Benefit 3: Maximize Your Time in the Park

Arriving early allows you to enjoy more of the park. A day at Universal Studios Japan can feel surprisingly short, with time flying by before you know it.

Even after visiting nearly 200 times, I often find myself amazed at how quickly the day passes, so starting early is always recommended.

If you arrive after the park opens, you may have to wait over 30 minutes just to get through the entrance gates. Arriving by the suggested times will ensure a smooth entry within about 10 minutes.

Check Park Opening and Closing Times

Knowing USJ’s opening and closing times in advance will help you plan your day effectively. These times vary depending on the season and events.

However, the times listed on the official website are approximate and indicate the latest possible opening time. In practice, the park often opens earlier—up to 1 hour and 45 minutes earlier on certain days.

For an accurate prediction of actual opening times, check the following article:

USJ混雑予想カレンダー2025年1月。実際に開園する時刻は?

Keep in mind that announced opening and closing times may occasionally change a few days to two weeks in advance. Always check the latest updates on the official website.

Purchase Admission Tickets in Advance

Extremely crowded day at the entrance gate

One essential tip for efficiently navigating USJ is purchasing your tickets in advance.

At the entrance gates, there are two types of lines:

① Line for those buying tickets on the day
② Line for those who already have tickets

If you don’t already have a ticket, you’ll need to wait 20–30 minutes in Line ① and another 5–30 minutes in Line ②.
Combined, this can add up to a 60-minute wait during peak times.

We highly recommend purchasing your tickets in advance.
Even on the same day, you can still buy tickets in advance. Tips on how to do so and how to get discounted tickets are detailed in the following article:

Types of USJ Tickets and How to Buy Them

USJ offers various tickets in addition to standard admission tickets, including Express Passes that significantly reduce wait times and VIP tours. Some attractions and restaurants also require paid reservations.

Whether or not you should purchase these options is discussed later in this article.

Key Points to Check Before Visiting

Checking the following points in advance will help you plan your day effectively at USJ:

Attraction Operating Status

At Universal Studios Japan, some attractions undergo maintenance and temporary closures once to three times a year. Additionally, certain attractions are converted into limited-time attractions and may not operate as usual.

During less crowded periods, more attractions tend to be closed for maintenance. Check the official USJ website for attraction closure updates:
USJ Official Website: Show & Attraction Closure Info.

For instance, “Space Fantasy: The Ride" often operates as an XR Ride, making its standard operation a rare treat.

Show and Parade Schedules

Showtimes at USJ are not fixed and vary depending on the day. Parades may also start at different times.

Schedules are typically announced one week in advance, so check the schedule for your visit date a week ahead of time:
USJ Official Website: Park Hours & Schedule.

Multiple shows may occur simultaneously, so if there are specific shows you absolutely want to see, be sure to plan accordingly to avoid missing out.

Areas and Attractions Requiring Tickets

Certain attractions, such as the **Biohazard Horror Night** attractions during Halloween, require free tickets for entry. Similarly, most attractions in **Universal Wonderland** offer “Yoyakunori" tickets that can be obtained for free.

Make sure to check the official app for ticket availability ahead of time.

USJ Strategy: Actions to Take Right After Opening

After entering Universal Studios Japan, securing tickets is crucial. Without them, you may not be able to experience popular areas and attractions, even after waiting in line.

Option 1: Secure a Mario Area Ticket or Try for Free Entry

The most popular area in USJ is **Super Nintendo World**. Securing an area entry ticket is your first mission. On many days, tickets become necessary within 20 minutes of the park opening. Be sure to obtain your ticket using the app as soon as you enter the park.

**Note:** You cannot obtain tickets for guests who haven’t entered the park. Please ensure everyone in your group has entered before trying to get tickets.

① Try for Free Entry

Super Nintendo World
Super Nintendo World

If you pass the temporary barricades near the **Jaws** area within 20 minutes of park opening, you can enter Super Nintendo World without a ticket.

**Note:** The time may be slightly longer on less crowded days.

The distance from the entrance gate to the Jaws barricade takes about 5–7 minutes on foot. If you’re among the first 30 people in line at the gate, you may enter the park within 5–10 minutes and reach the barricade in time for free entry.

If free entry is not possible, immediately refresh the app to check if tickets are available and secure one.

Option 2: Head to a Popular Attraction

Demon Slayer XR Ride: Swordsmith Village Arc
Demon Slayer XR Ride: Swordsmith Village Arc

For a shorter wait time, head straight to popular attractions like **Demon Slayer XR Ride**. Right after opening, its wait time is usually around 30 minutes (even if the sign says over an hour). If you want to enjoy both **Demon Slayer** and **Super Nintendo World**, start with Demon Slayer XR Ride.

For Families with Young Children

Hello Kitty Easter Limited Show

This plan is perfect for families with young children. Kids taller than 92 cm can enjoy most attractions with an accompanying adult.

Step 1: Secure Area Entry Tickets

Upon entering the park, immediately secure a ticket for **Super Nintendo World**. Families entering at a leisurely pace may only get tickets for late afternoon or evening.

Step 2: Obtain 'Yoyakunori’ Tickets

Prioritize securing a “Yoyakunori" ticket for **Elmo’s Bubble Bubble**. This ride only accommodates one group per vehicle, so the wait time can be excessively long, even if there are few people in line. It’s highly recommended to secure a reservation for this ride first.

Yoyakunori Eligible Attractions

Dining Recommendations

Enjoying food at USJ is an essential part of the experience. Here’s how to make the most of your dining options:

① Avoid Peak Mealtime Crowds

To enjoy a stress-free meal, avoid peak times.
– **Lunch**: Aim for 11:00 AM or after 2:00 PM.
– **Dinner**: After 7:00 PM is ideal.

Many restaurants close in the evening, so be sure to check their operating hours, especially during less crowded seasons. Note that some restaurants may become busier during events like Halloween Horror Nights or Summer Night events.

At **Kinopio’s Café** in Super Nintendo World, lines can be 30–60 minutes long as early as 11:00 AM. Visiting after 2:30 PM is recommended.

Shopping for souvenirs is an exciting part of visiting USJ. Here’s how to do it efficiently:

① General Merchandise is Near the Park Entrance

USJ Souvenir Shop Map
USJ Souvenir Shop Map

Two large stores near the park entrance offer a wide range of items, including character-themed headbands, T-shirts, snacks, and more.

– **Store 1**: Features Mario, Donkey Kong, and Sesame Street items.
– **Store 2**: Offers Harry Potter and Minion-themed snacks, as well as popular seasonal merchandise.

Tips for Efficient Shopping

If you’re interested in limited-edition collaboration goods, purchase them as soon as you enter the park. These items often sell out quickly in the morning.

For general souvenirs, shop during less crowded hours in the afternoon, ideally between 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM. Shopping closer to the park’s closing time can result in long lines and crowded stores.

Consider storing your purchased items in a coin locker or carrying them with you. This will allow you to enjoy attractions with shorter wait times while others are busy shopping near closing time.

For the latest updates on merchandise and recommendations, visit the following page:

② Utilize Coin Lockers

Heavy bags can make navigating the park tiring. Use coin lockers to store your belongings. Lockers are available near the entrance and in **Universal Wonderland**.

Pro Tip: Be aware that most lockers (except those in Wonderland) require additional payment if reopened after initial use.

③ Universal CityWalk Osaka Shops

Outside the park, **Universal CityWalk Osaka** features several shops selling official USJ merchandise. These shops are convenient for last-minute purchases or for those entering the park later in the day with a **Twilight Pass** or **Night Pass**.

Helpful Tips for a Better Experience

Here are additional tips to make your visit to USJ more enjoyable:

① Rent a Mobile Battery

If your smartphone battery runs low during the day, rental mobile batteries are available in the park. Rental stations are located near restrooms and the entrance area.

The rental batteries come with multiple cable types (three in total), but you’ll need to register through a dedicated app. Note that rentals require a credit card and may not be accessible to children traveling alone.

② Celebrate Birthdays with a Special Sticker

If you’re celebrating a birthday, ask a park crew member near the entrance for a **Birthday Sticker**. Wearing this sticker may earn you special greetings from characters or crew members throughout the day.

③ Find Affordable Parking Nearby

If you’re driving, consider using nearby parking facilities instead of the official USJ parking lot. While the official lot opens 90 minutes before the scheduled park opening time, the park itself often opens earlier than this. Nearby **Times parking lots** and other facilities are usually cheaper and accessible 24 hours.

For parking locations and prices, refer to this guide:

Exclusive Benefits from USJ Official Hotels

Staying at a USJ Official Hotel offers perks like early park entry. For example, JTB’s **Early Park-In** plan allows guests to enter the park 15–30 minutes before general admission.
