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.

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.
