Universal Express Pass 4
There are two main types of Universal Studios Osaka express pass attractions – regular and timed entry. Regular attractions allow you to visit anytime during park hours, while timed entry requires you to arrive at a specific window displayed on your pass.
Each attraction with express pass access will have a dedicated lane marked. Look for signage with the express pass logo to identify the fast track.
Have your Universal Studios Osaka Express Pass handy, either printed or displayed on your smartphone. The pass will have a QR code that needs to be scanned by a park staff member at the express lane entrance.
You're good to go once your QR code is scanned. Breeze past the regular queue and experience the thrilling rides and attractions with significantly shorter wait times.
Bonus tips:
This land is wildly popular, and regular queues can be lengthy. Snag an Express Pass for rides like Mario Kart: Koopa's Challenge, the world's first AR roller coaster, and avoid the wait. Parkgoers consistently rank this ride as a top USJ experience.
Universal Studios Osaka is open throughout the year.
Opening hours: 9am to 7pm, daily.
The express pass itself doesn't have specific operating hours. It's valid throughout the park's opening hours, allowing you to enjoy priority access. However, some attractions within the park might have designated operating schedules for you to access according to your Universal Studios Japan Express Pass schedule.
Want the shortest wait? Visit Universal Studios Japan on weekdays, with Mondays and Tuesdays slightly more crowded, or during off-season months (January and other shoulder seasons). Wednesdays and Thursdays are your sweet spot for a good balance of crowds. During peak Halloween & Christmas times, expect bigger crowds, but your Express Pass becomes a superhero!
Address: 2-chōme-1-33 Sakurajima, Konohana Ward, Osaka, 554-0031, Japan.

If you want to experience more in less time, you can skip the regular queues for popular rides with the Express Pass, saving you at least 2-3 hours of waiting. This means more time for rides you love, shows, character meet-and-greets, or exploring different park areas. Especially for Super Nintendo World, having an Express Pass is almost essential. Entry to this highly popular zone might be limited otherwise.
Here's the deal: While the Express Pass is an extra cost on top of your regular park admission, it allows you to skip the lines and experience the park more relaxedly. This is a huge perk if you travel with young kids, dislike long waits, or simply want to avoid the early morning rush.
Children up to 4 years of age can enter for free. Additionally, you can enjoy discounted prices on your USJ Osaka Express Pass if you’re a senior citizen (above 65 years) or a kid between the ages of 4 and 11, depending on your ticket choice.

Both Passes rock, but they cater to slightly different park ninjas. Here's the lowdown:
Express Pass 4: This Pass lets you skip the lines for 4 rides. Think of it as your "must-do" express lane. It covers popular rides like Harry Potter and The Flying Dinosaur, but you might have some variation depending on the specific pass type.
Express Pass 7: This Pass ups the game with an express entry for 7 rides! You get all the perks of Pass 4, plus potentially dive into Yoshi's Adventure in Super Nintendo World or zoom through Despicable Me Minion Mayhem (depending on the pass type).
If you’re on a budget and have a ride wishlist? Express Pass 4 is your friend. Craving maximum thrills and want to explore a broader range of rides? Express Pass 7 is the way to go!
