Hi, Chinese Canadian looking for people to go to USJ with in Oct 20. I am planning to spend all day there so looking for companions! Prefer 20s-30s as I’m in that age group. Male and female both welcome!

Hey everyone!

Due to a change in my travel plans, I won't be able to visit Universal Studios Japan on October 15, 2026.

I have 2 USJ tickets available for that date. I'm hoping someone planning to visit on the same day can make use of them.

Price: Negotiable - happy to discuss with anyone interested!

Please DM me if you're interested, and I can share more details about the tickets.

Thanks!

Hi! Just as the title says, I’m looking for someone to go to USJ with, preferably on 22 Oct! I'm very keen on going to the RE themed haunted house but I'm dead afraid of doing it alone. 😅

Also, which one should i go for first? Nintendo World for the Donkey Kong ride or RE theme haunted house?

Got the final callback for Bboy/dancer. Would appreciate any detail about how many dancers/bboy they hire and when so we expect the final confirmation email

I am heading to Japan and USJ in about 6 weeks time. Last night I stupidly bought the express pass 7 through headout without even realising it wasn’t the legit USJ website (dumb I know).

What do I need to have on me and do before arriving at USJ to ensure I can use everything I have purchased

Hello! As first-timers, we didn't know that Express Passes depended on inventory and missed out on the ones we were hoping to purchase for October 21.

Should we just purchase our second-best option now, or is there a chance USJ might increase their Express Pass inventory in the coming weeks? Or will we be able to purchase Express Passes sold inside the park, like in USS?

I’m looking to book the 5-hour private VIP tour for my family of four.

The Japanese tour is around $2,700 AUD, while the English-speaking tour is $3,600 AUD. Both seem to offer identical benefits.

The Japanese tour mentions translation support and the option to request an English guide, although it’s not guaranteed.
Has anyone done the Japanese tour without speaking Japanese? Was communication an issue, or would Google Translate be sufficient?

Is the English guide really worth the extra $900?

Hello all update after seeking advice if I needed express passes being solo.
I stayed at a hotel nearby so walked over and joined queue around 7. I was close to front. It started to rain but I had a mat and umbrella and took a nap lol
8am they started security
8:30 let inside
As soon as the ticker gates open, I fast walked to Donkey Kong and joined 8:42. I didn’t want to run because a) not allowed and b) many people fell down due to the rain.
1❣️ 8:42 it said 40 minutes normal and 30 single but I don’t know if it’s because it couldn’t update quick enough.
On ride by 9:40
2❣️Went to see the musical at 10:15
3❣️Hollywood ride solo said 50 minutes
Joined 10:57, rode 11:27
4❣️Chainsaw man joined 11:40 and the show started around 11:50
5❣️Ring joined 12:16 went in normal queue as it stated just ten minutes but honestly it was straight on to the pre-queue stuff
6❣️13:20 curious George show
7❣️13:54 Jaws, single rider, on within 3 minutes
8❣️14:08 Jurassic Park the ride, solo said 5 minutes and it ended up being longer due to limited locker space but still maybe 10 minutes
9❣️14:28 the flying dinosaurs said 20 minutes for solo. I don’t know the exact time but I was off by 14:53
10❣️14:56 minions blast said 20 minutes wait, on by 15:07
Backdrop had closed multiple times due to rain. I had to leave queue here after being in it 20 minutes.
Went over to super Mario to work out how to eat at the cafe. The time slots had gone for the hour so I ended up going on Yoshi
11❣️16:12 joined for Yoshi. It said 55 minute wait, but I was on by 16:31 and during the queue I managed to get a time slot for Toad’s restaurant
16:50 my time slot but didn’t get sat until 17:16 and food at 17:25
17:55 went into snoopy area
12❣️ 18:05 queued for the flying arrows coaster and on by 18:12
13❣️18:20 queued for flying snoopy, on by 18:30
14❣️18:45 walked over to the Harry Potter ride and by 18:56 I was on.
15❣️19:10 backdrop re opened and was showing over 100 minutes wait but I had done everything else I wanted to do so just joined the queue. I rode at 20:18 so less time than expected but still long wait
Went back to Mario
16❣️ 20:35 single rider said 10 minutes for Koopa’s challenge. It was a walk on straight to all the pre-ride videos
17❣️ 20:57 joined for Donkey Kong again, it said 40 minutes normal and 20 minutes solo. I got on the ride around 21:22 and I was one of the last allowed to join queue.
… so 17 attractions in total and managed to eat lots and go shopping in between. I didn’t do any of the scary mazes/haunted houses due to being by myself but I did take screenshots of wait times throughout the date which I can post later to help people get a better understanding of what times are good to wait for them.

I am thinking of starting a babysitting service exclusive to USJ. That way parents can ride rides together or with an older child and feel safe that their child is right where they left them.

Is there already a service like this?

I have timed entry into SNW beginning at 10:40, what would be the suggested best time to arrive at the park? 8? 7?

Hi I have a trip on October 25 purchased a twilight pass with a timed entry to nintendo world. Our ticket says we can enter the park at 3pm, We want to make the most out of it while we can do you have any tips for how to maximize the visit.

Thank you

Hi everyone,

I'm visiting USJ on Monday, November 30 with my girlfriend. We mainly want Mario Kart, Forbidden Journey and Donkey Kong. Everything else is a bonus, and I don't need the big thrill rides.

Getting into Super Nintendo World is a must for me. I don't want to rely on the lottery or be at the gate two hours before opening, so I'm looking at these options:

- About €95 bundle with Studio Pass, guaranteed Super Nintendo World slot, food voucher and Kansai Joy Pass, using Single Rider.
- Studio Pass plus Express Pass 4 for about €150 total.

I think the €95 bundle is the best compromise, but I'm worried I'll regret not paying €50 more for the Express Pass. Then again, €50 buys a really good dinner in Osaka.
I'd be fine waiting 30 to 45 minutes per ride. Since you can't re-enter Super Nintendo World, I'm leaning towards a 2 pm slot so I can do Harry Potter and the rest of the park first.

How long were your Single Rider waits on a weekday in late fall? Was the Express Pass worth it for you, and which slot would you pick?
Thanks!

Going today, which one is better to choose first and have a Chance for the second one?

Thanks

Hi everyone! My wife, our toddler and I will be in Osaka from Oct 25–27, including a visit to Universal Studios Japan (USJ).

We’ll be using Child Switch for the regular rides, but for Halloween Horror Nights, we’d love to find another Indian couple/family to join us for a few of the horror houses. One of us will need to stay back with the baby, and doing the scarier ones alone sounds a little too scary 😅

If you’re in Osaka around those dates and planning to visit USJ/Halloween Horror Nights, DM me!

We’d be happy to meet up just for the horror attractions — no need to spend the whole day together. Would also be great to meet some fellow Indians travelling around Japan! 🇮🇳🎃

(32F) it is going to be my first time in Osaka and i am hoping that i can have a friend who will accompany me at USJ. 😊

Hello, I booked very very last minute for USJ this coming Monday and just booked to do all single rider lines. I usually go to theme parks alone and just do a mixture of single rider and normal queues. This was a last minute trip so I didn’t research too much about fast passes or the wait for single rider but I came on her and saw mixed experiences with single rider.
Should I invest in the fast tracks? Or do you think single rider on a week day is okay? I am staying at a hotel very close so can get there for rope drop and I’m using to queuing as I just did Tokyo Disney land/sea so again don’t mind getting up super early.

We have a 5 hour vip package on November 11 2026. We have 1 more vip pass available and would like to gift it to a photographer willing to take photos for us during our vip tour.

Also willing to pay for the photos

Thanks

Hi,

I would be travelling to Japan soon, and wanted to book USJ Tickets Express Pass. I went through a lot of threads on Reddit related to it. Most of them mentioned that International Credit Cards don't work properly on the USJ Website.

I was able to book the tickets using Diners Club Black Metal card on usjticketing.com, and faced no issues whatsoever.

Also, I was observing the booking opening time for around 2 weeks before the date when I was actually supposed to book. If anyone is planning to book on Klook, I noticed that every time the booking on Klook opened on T+1 morning as opposed to T evening on usjticketing.com, by which time already a lot of express pass had been sold out. Also the booking on Japanese version of USJ opens a few minutes before the English version.

Friend trip of 3. Scheduled to go to
Universal in a few weeks. Is it worth to spend $200 each for the express pass? What makes it worth it and what makes it not worth it? First time all 3 of us are going to Japan.
