As someone who just went this summer, last week. If you can, GO WHEN ITS WINTER MONTHS. (This also applies if you wanna go to DisneySea/DisneyLand) it was SO DAMN HOT. 35c when I went, but the UV level and the Humidity and the lack of cool wind, made it feel like 45c !!!

I went there on Sunday before Halloween so it was packed!! But because I was alone I could also skip all the lines since they have a single lane. Best thing ever, I did everything atleast once and some of the rollercoasters more than twice. Also went to the harry potter world and Nintendo world so it was a perfect day. And because it was Halloween everyone was wearing costumes.

I went last week of February and paid $125 for two people without fast pass and went to most of the rides without waiting for hours. Buy your tickets during the week days, not weekends or Japanese holidays. Going to Japan USJ is cheaper than going to universal in California.

My daughter is currently in Japan and she paid over £100 (sterling) per person for the fast pass add on. For 4 rides that’s a LOT of money on top of the entry cost. But as many people have said, if you’re only going for one day you almost have to pay it, to get any kind of good experience 🤷🏻‍♀️

@DJ-qr5wg 3 weeks, there are way too many things to do in japan and 3 weeks aren't enough to scratch the surface, but of the top of my head... Osaka > Kyoto > Tokyo > (then 3 days to S Korea) Osaka -> day 1 arrived at evening, rested because of long flight - went to dotonbori at night Day 2 osaka castle, ate at a famous street food guy, and look around the city, at night went to dotonbori street Day 3 Japan Universal Studios Day 4 woke up prepared for Kyoto, went to have a breakfast and took a small walk in my area arrived at kyoto a bit late so all of the shrines and temples were closed > went to kyoto tower at night, went to hotel to prepare for the next day (gotta sleep and wake up early if you want to make the most of your stay at kyoto because all temples close at 5 PM) Day 2 in kyoto - samurai and ninja experience + shrines and temples Day 3 golden temple + bamboo forest + a couple more shrines Day 4 shrines + temples + went to famous shopping district in kyoto -nanenzaka- bought gifts for the family and a big Katana for myself (Also i used to sit at the bar in my hotel at nights after a long day of walking KABIN KYOTO, great staff and bar) Day 5 woke up had a great breakfast and a cup of coffee to prepare myself for the train to tokyo -> went to station (and surprisingly had a 2 hours delay because of a fire on the train track, the only time the train was ever delayed in my 3 weeks stay) Arrived at tokyo a bit late > my hotel had a warm swimming pool/jacuzzi/onsen so i just relaxed there Spent a week in tokyo and went to many places a few towers, dreamlabs, shibuya crossing, akihabara electric district (which has so many stuff to do and so many figure shops, im a big fan of anime so i spent there like 3 days) And in the end i felt like i still didnt experience half of what tokyo has to offer I'm definitely going back to Japan in a few years. Forgot to mention that my last day in tokyo was 31/10 so i spent the night meeting new people, socialising and taking photos with all the people that wore costumes for Halloween:)

The USJ japanese and English websites are different. All the passes were sold out on the english one. I managed to buy tickets on the japanese website (with the google translate module on). But be careful, they ask for a japanese adress and a phone number. Either use your BNB or hotel one, or a friends who lives in Japan.

It is a $80 pass that includes express access to 4 rides and gives you a time slot to enter Harry Potter world and Super Nintendo world. You can buy passes that give you different number of rides.
