We've got tickets for the Super Nintendo VIP tour, and I was wondering if the express passes you get after the tour would work for the Resident Evil house even though it's not listed as one of the attractions they work with. I'm assuming the list is used for all year round and doesn't show limited time attractions.

If it doesn't work, what time should we arrive to the park if our main goal is to get into Resident Evil and we only have one day to make it happen, I've read that it's very popular and slots fill up right away, but we also have access to the VIP entrance so we don't have to wait in the main line to get in. Would it still be recommended to arrive before the park opens?

We paid ~200 each for these express passes. Unfortunately, we no longer need these and would like to sell these at a reduced price to anyone who might be going to the theme park in Osaka on 10/24!

Please check out the timed entry schedule and dm if interested!!!

Hello everyone,

I have a ticket for Universal Studios with an Express Pass 4 for this Saturday, October 17th. Unfortunately, I cannot go. Is there anyone who wants the ticket?

In the pass these attractions are included:

○ 09:10-10:10 SUPER NINTENDO WORLD

○ 09:10-09:40 Mario Kart: Koopa's Challenge

○ 09:40-10:10 Mine Cart Madness

☆ 【CHOICE A】 JAWS
　or Jurassic Park - The Ride

☆ 【CHOICE B】 The Flying Dinosaur
　or Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey

I can give it to you for a cheaper price, of course. DM me if interested!

We are going to USJ on the 18th of November.

Two express pass 5 currently costs about 53800 yen. Which yeah, its a high price.

I guess I will only try Hollywood Dream and Flying Dinosaur alone if wait times is favourable. Not a must do for me though.

Main objective is to go for the vibes especially in Hogsmeade, window shopping, catch the parade and Waterworld while still being able to ride Mario Kart, Donkey Kong and Harry Potter.

My last USJ trip was in Feb two years ago and everything went so smoothly without a pass.

How is the crowds prediction expected to be for that day I wonder?

Wondering whats gonna happen in a month when I go. I bought 2 express passes and theres combined 3 instances of hollywood dream between the two:(

was very excited to ride but looks like its closed indefinitely

This was probably the best part of our trip to Japan. It was 5hrs of rides and fun! We got to the front of the line for every ride that we had on our list and then some. Got on the same ride multiple times AND in the first car every time. This is the best money spent.

Update: Tickets are no longer available. Just want to let other people know if they are in the same situation as me (bought the wrong dates for the tickets/express passes). I emailed the USJ customer service and they are able to process the refunds for if I can show them proof that I purchased another set of tickets with a different date.

I am not sure if it’s common knowledge but I wasn’t able to find anyone mentioned that before. Also, not sure it helped, but I literally emailed the customer service a day after I bought the tickets/passes.

Bought for the wrong date. Changed the entry tickets but nothing I can do about these trying to get some money back if possible. DM if interested!

Good Evening, I went to USJ the second night of HHN and bought 6 blind box keychains at a shot for Leon and came out with 4 dupes of grace and 2 Chris plush's. I heard that they restocked them today and was asking if anyone can check if they really did? Normally I would have ordered them online day of but I was maxed out for the day. Can anyone verify if they are really there? I need to get Leon ASAP. It can be found at the cinema 4d store

Bought twice...if interested in buying at a discount, SNW at 1940.

I have a few questions for anyone who has done this specific tour, especially the 2026 version!

VIP gifts: I heard we receive some exclusive gifts, including the One Piece show-related items. Are these handed out at the start of the tour, during the tour, or after it ends?

Carrying the gifts: Do they provide a bag to put all the gifts in, or should I bring my own? Are there any special lockers or storage facilities for the gifts while we're on rides?

VIP guide and rides: When the guide takes us to attractions, do we get to use a dedicated VIP entrance or priority queue? Is this different from using an Express Pass?

Complimentary Express Pass: I understand there's a complimentary Express Pass benefit. Can it be used independently before or after the tour? Does it cover Hollywood Dream - The Ride only, or can it be used for Backdrop too?

VIP Lounge and check-in: How early did you arrive before the tour, and was there enough time to check in, enjoy the VIP Lounge and get ready?

Sanji's Pirate Restaurant: Is there anything we should prepare beforehand? Do they give us time to take photos and enjoy the experience without feeling rushed?

One Piece Premier Show: How was the seating for this tour? Were the included gifts given before or after the show, and is there anything worth bringing for the show?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience, especially from anyone who took the same tour this year. Thank you! 😊

Honestly, USJ is so massively OVERRATED and a complete clusterfuck. 💀 Save your money, seriously. I don't get why the they love to complicate things so much for no reason. FAKE ASS OPENING TIMES: They claim 9 AM opening, but opened at 8 AM anyway??? I arrived early and thinking I was early and Super Mario ALREADY had a 2-hour wait! THE APP LIES TO YOU: The app makes it look like you mandatory need a Timed Entry ticket to step foot into Nintendo World. In reality, you can just walk straight in early without one! If I knew that, I would've walked in first thing instead of wasting time. LIGHTS OUT SOLD OUT IMMEDIATELY: Already sold out when I got in. Don't they want money or what? EXPRESS PASS IS A COMPLETE SCAM: Paid almost $100 (15,800 JPY) for an Express Pass and got zero advantage. I could do the exact same things for free on the app. TERRIBLE TIMING: My paid pass assigned me super late entry times like 3 PM and 5 PM, but I easily got a free 1 PM slot myself on the app. MID ATTRACTIONS: Rides are not worth the hype or wait. Mind you, THIS WAS A WEDNESDAY IN LOW SEASON in Freakin October and it was still an absolute mess. I cant imagine if it's during busy session. DO NOT GO HERE OR SPEND ANY DIME. Why USH is way better: MORE RIDES: Hollywood actually has way more/better rides. BETTER HALLOWEEN MAZES: The HHN mazes at USH clear USJ completely. NOT CONFUSING: USH is actually easy to navigate without dealing with a confusing system, especially the fastpass. USJ sells like 10+ different type while USH keeps everything simple. USH supremacy honestly 😭 USJ is purely hype and stress.💩

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?
