Incredible experience — for me, the best attraction was the Harry Potter village, especially the ride inside the castle.

It was my first time in Japan! It was also my first time at a universal studios theme park. It was amazing how all the popular movies were on there!

Even during Golden Week, our visit to Universal Studios Japan was truly unforgettable. It was raining for most of the day and unfortunately the Donkey Kong ride was canceled, which was a bit disappointing. However, what really made the experience special was the incredible staff — they were always kind, patient, and welcoming, constantly smiling despite the weather. Their positive attitude genuinely lifted the mood of the whole park. Surprisingly, even without an Express Pass, we didn’t have to wait too long for several attractions, which made everything even more enjoyable. The park is incredibly well organized, and the atmosphere remains magical no matter the conditions. Rain or shine, the experience was full of fun, warmth, and unforgettable moments. I would absolutely visit again!

The pass worked great, they are expensive for what you get as on a couple of rides you skipped only part of the queue but it was still quicker than waiting in the general line. Also, the timed entry in to Super Nintendo world was late in the day and by then it was opened to everyone anyway which was a bit of an annoyance.

It was totally worth going to Universal! What an amazing park! I found the explanations about the express passes a bit confusing; at first I was lost, but then I managed to figure it out.

We were really impressed by how well organized everything was. It was amazing to see how smoothly such a large number of visitors were guided at the entrance and around the popular attractions. Even though we didn’t have enough time or energy to visit every place, we are very happy with everything we did manage to see. It was a memorable and enjoyable experience for our family.

Is the Universal Studios Japan™ Express Pass 7 worth it?

1/4

Slash wait times by 75%

Popular rides like The Flying Dinosaur and Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™, amongst others, can have wait times exceeding 2 hours during peak seasons or weekends. Independent theme park data trackers suggest average wait times for these rides can range from 90 minutes to 150 minutes. With the Express Pass 7, you can bypass these queues and expect wait times in the single digits, significantly reducing your wait time and doubling your fun.

Guaranteed Entry to Super Nintendo World™ & The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™

Super Nintendo World™ and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ are smash hits at USJ, but entry to these zones can be restricted due to high demand. The USJ Express Pass 7 secures access to these zones with designated timed entry slots, ensuring you can experience all that’s there to offer within these areas. This guarantees a well-rounded USJ experience.

Experience more in a day

With regular lines, fitting in all your must-do attractions can be a challenge. The USJ Express Pass 7 frees up valuable time, allowing you to experience 7 rides and attractions, see captivating shows, and explore themed areas – all in a single day!

No FOMO

Skip the frustration of long queues and enter the Express Pass lane with confidence. This eliminates the "queue anxiety" and allows you to plan your day more efficiently, leveling up your overall USJ experience. No more FOMO about missing out on other experiences while you're stuck in one line for most of the day. Should you change your mind last minute about a ride, you can rest assured, that you’ll be able to hop on it with the extra time you’ve saved.

Things to know before booking your Universal Studios Japan™ Express Pass 7

The USJ Express Pass 7 complements a regular admission ticket. A regular admission ticket grants access to all rides, shows, and attractions at USJ, but you'll have to wait in line for each. The Express Pass 7 is an add-on that allows priority access to a specific selection of rides, significantly reducing wait times.
While the USJ Express 7 significantly reduces wait times, there may still be short queues for security checks or boarding procedures.
USJ offers different Express Pass tiers with varying levels of access. The Express Pass 7 focuses on 7 specific rides, while other tiers might offer access to a wider or more limited range of attractions. Choose the tier that best suits your must-do rides.
Express Passes sell out like hotcakes, especially during peak seasons and weekends. Booking yours in advance alongside your park tickets is highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
The Express Pass 7 often requires selecting preferred time slots for specific rides. While this ensures priority access, it restricts some flexibility in your park itinerary. Take wait time trends into account and plan your day strategically around these time slots to get the most out of your visits.
Not all rides at USJ are included in the Universal Studios Express Pass 7. Popular seasonal attractions might be excluded.

Using your Universal Studios Japan™ Express Pass 7: How does it work?

Grab your pass & park map

Ensure you have your physical Express Pass 7 tickets or the digital version saved on your smartphone. Don't forget your park map – it'll help you navigate to your chosen rides.

Spot the Express Pass lane

Each ride will have a designated "Express Pass Lane" entrance. Look for signage with the Express Pass logo to identify it.

Show your pass & enjoy priority access

At the Express Pass Lane entrance, a crew member will scan the QR code on your physical ticket or digital pass. Once confirmed, you’re all set to enjoy the significantly shorter wait times for your rides.

Get more by planning smart

While you wait in the shorter Express Pass lane, use the park map or USJ app to check real-time wait times for other rides. This helps you plan your next conquest and strategically utilize your Express Pass 7 throughout the day.

Don’t forget:

Each person needs their own Express Pass 7. Make sure everyone in your group has a valid pass for priority access.
Express Pass 7 is valid for a single day. Use it to its full potential during your park visit.
Express Pass 7 applies to designated rides only. Refer to the inclusions list or park map to confirm participating attractions.
Rides may have specific height or age restrictions. Check these requirements before heading to the Express Pass lane to avoid disappointment.
