■ USJ Restroom Map – Less Crowded Toilets
USJ Restroom Map
There are several restrooms in each area of USJ.
Some of them, especially women’s restrooms in certain locations, can get very crowded, while others are almost empty at the same time.
Just before parades, restrooms tend to be particularly busy, so it’s better to walk a little and use a less crowded one.
Black icons: Restrooms that are often crowded
Colored icons: Restrooms that are often less crowded
When leaving the park, we recommend using the restroom just outside the park entrance gate.
If you wait and use the restroom inside the entrance area instead, you may even find a line at the men’s restroom.

NO PARKING
USJ is filled with popular Instagrammable spots.
Interestingly, most of them were not originally designed as “photo spots” and are not officially promoted by the park, yet they have become very popular especially among high school and university students.
Because of this, they rarely appear in guidebooks or the official app.
Location of NO PARKING Spot
For example, one must-visit classic photo spot when visiting with friends is “NO PARKING,” located near the entrance of the Sing On Tour attraction.
We introduce the locations of 36 Instagrammable spots on a map.
