Introduction

USJ, or Universal Studios Japan, is a super popular theme park among travelers in Japan, just like Tokyo Disneyland. If you are traveling to the Kansai region, you shouldn't miss this place. Besides enjoying the beautiful scenery of Osaka, coming to Universal Studios to experience a unique thrill and joy is also a great choice. Here, you can participate in various exciting entertainment facilities themed around Hollywood movies, such as watching Spider-Man swinging around, avoiding the jaws of a giant shark, witnessing roaming dinosaurs, and experiencing the danger of being chased by zombies in Resident Evil. The park also offers various interesting themed restaurants and mesmerizing nighttime parade performances. The Harry Potter-themed area, which opened in July 2014, is loved by visitors. It not only highly recreates the scenes from the original works but also sells a large number of exquisite merchandise. The park is conveniently located and close to Osaka Station, and the waiting time for rides is much shorter compared to Disneyland. The opening and closing times vary daily, so travelers who want to see the nighttime parade should check the official website in advance and plan accordingly. UnionPay cards starting with 62 can be conveniently used for payment and cash withdrawal here, and most ATMs also provide Chinese interfaces, making it more convenient for visitors to enjoy the park.
