Universal Studios Japan, Osaka

I definitely recommend purchasing your tickets in advance. We came Friday/Saturday with 2 day passes. The lines to come in are long, the lines for the rides are long, the lines for food (snacks) are long. If you can definitely get the express passes they are worth the $$$. Nintendo World is cool but VERY VERY busy. Once the area is full you'll have to get a timed area ticket via their ticket section in the park or via APP. (APP is easiest.) The restaurants inside are pricey. The Mario Cafe food was cute but the food was barely warm. Everywhere in the park the staff is helpful, and very kind. The bathrooms are all over the place (if you have kids download the app to show you where they are), very clean, and big. They could really use more benches and seating areas around the park. It is a lot of walking/standing so wear comfortable shoes.

The Universal Studious Japan in Osaka was one of the greatest experiences of my life. The quality of the attractions is incredible. But most of all. The incredibly friendly and professional staff. They were nice and also pretty funny when I talked to them. This is definitely not going to be my last time here. Especially the Attack on Titan attraction and the Super Nintendo World are a Must-See!
