6. Universal studio Japan
Nintendo park is opened, you must get a ticket to enter the Nintendo. As very popular and many people coming to Nintendo area, there’s 3 ways to get the area ticket. 1. Buy express pass and it’s included the pass for Nintendo area. 2. Get a ticket on official universal app. 3. Get it In the park. But less chance to get it.

Universal studio Japan is the most popular theme park in west Japan. Children friendly tourists attractions. I recommend purchase on Klook than official if you want a 1.5 day pass. Because you’ll need to activate the pass at the entrance or receive paper ticket by post.
