What people say

"You can purchase you tickets to USJ in advance and download the QR code to your phone. I just scan that code when I enter the park off my phone, no paper needed! Martina's Tips: Harry Potter Land has the hands down, best food. The Three Broomsticks serves beer and full English lunches and dinners that are actually delicious. Avoid lunch and peak dinner hours if you don't want to wait in a long line. You can't bring Starbucks coffee cups or obvious bottles into the park (they will check your bag) but I always buy a few onigiri at the conbini loacted just outside the park, and stuff them into my bag. 1. Super Nintendo World: check the link I provided to look over the "timed ticket entry" details. Basically, on days that are super crowded, even if you purchased an entery ticket to USJ, you may not be able to enter this area. 2. If there are too many people in the theme park, they prepare an area with these machines that scan your entry ticket and provide you with a "timed" ticket to enter Super Nintendo World. I 3. f you don't get these tickets early enough, you may be stuck with "lottery tickets" which are just like they sound. They randomly draw a group of tickets to enter Super Nintendo World, and no one else can enter. My Experience: I have done all three: -entered the park, got a timed ticket entrance and went to the special area -entered the park, there was no timed ticket, I just walked into Mario Land. -And I recently I experienced the lottery which disappointingly, I wasn't chosen and couldn't go into the land If you ONLY want to visit this area, you can purchase tickets that guarantee entrance "
"Express Pass: For a smooth experience and guaranteed entry into Super Nintendo World (SNW), I would recommend purchasing an express pass. This is at an additional cost, but I highly recommend it as this provides timed "fast passes" into specific rides and attractions. Tip: BOOK EARLY! We waited to book our tickets and missed out on the early entry passes for SNW. Booking tickets early ensures the best entry time into SNW as later times will mean crowds and long lines"
"4/5 Good to Go | Universal Studios Japan is a world-class theme park that offers an incredible array of thrilling rides, immersive attractions, and top-notch entertainment. While the Florida counterpart has a larger footprint, Universal Studios Japan features unique attractions, seasonal events, and cultural experiences that make it a must-visit destination for anyone visiting Japan."
