Why is Universal Studios Japan so famous?

Universal Studios Japan (USJ) holds a special place for a few reasons:

First in Asia: USJ was the very first Universal Studios theme park to open outside the United States, making it a novelty for the region.
Global Blockbusters & Local Appeal: The park offers a thrilling mix of rides and attractions based on popular Hollywood movies and TV shows everyone knows, alongside areas themed after popular Japanese characters like Hello Kitty.
Uniquely USJ: The park doesn't just copy attractions - it has developed its own unique experiences you won't find elsewhere like the recently opened Super Nintendo World.
Top Theme Park: It consistently ranks among the most popular theme parks globally, drawing in millions of visitors every year.

What is the best time to go to Universal Studios Japan?

Aim for weekdays, especially Wednesdays and Thursdays, for shorter wait times at Universal Studios Japan. These days see fewer crowds compared to weekends and school trip days (Mondays & Tuesdays).

If experiencing everything the park offers is your priority, including shows and parades, be prepared for bigger crowds during peak seasons (spring, summer, especially Golden Week & summer holidays) and special events.

Osaka Top Attractions

Osaka Castle

One of the best Places to visit in Osaka, the Osaka Castle was established in 1586 and was built by a famous Japanese warrior named Toyotomi Hideyoshi. One of the largest castles in Japan, the Osaka Castle has been reconstructed throughout the years in history due to destruction from enemies.

Dotonbori

Considered to be one of the top Osaka beautiful places, Dotonbori is a famous area in the city, known for its busy walkways and bridges. This entertainment district in Osaka dates back to the 1600s, and is the place where numerous Japanese theatres originated. In recent times, Dotonbori is a popular area to enjoy the vibrant nightlife and food scene of Osaka.

Hozenji

Located close to the bustling district of Dotonbori, tucked amidst the alleys of Osaka is the tranquil and quiet temple of Hozenji. Covered with lanterns and home to a stone deity that is mostly covered in moss, this temple is a great place to relax and meditate, away from Dotonbori’s noisiness and crowd.

Amemura

Also known as Amerikamura or the American Village, Amemura is amongst the trendiest places to go in Osaka. Whether you wish to shop or get drunk with your friends, or simply hang out, this is the place to be. Home to numerous fashion stores, boutiques and thrift shops, you can also find many bars, nightclubs and restaurants here.

Namba Yasaka Shrine

Undoubtedly one of the most unique places and attractions in Osaka, if not in all of Japan, is the shrine of Namba Yasaka. The visually mesmerising shrine features a huge stage, that has been shaped like the head of the lion.

Den Den Town

Another one of the top Osaka beautiful places, the Den Den Town is another name of the Nipponbashi neighborhood of Osaka in Japan. Literally translating to the “Electric Town,” Den Den Town is amongst the best places in the city to get your hands on great quality and affordable electronic goods.

Spa World

Tsutenkaku Tower

Want to see some of the offbeat Osaka beautiful places? Pay a visit to the Tsūtenkaku Tower. Known as the oldest of the two towers of Osaka, the Tsūtenkaku is located in the heart of the city and is a major landmark here. The tower stands proudly on the site of a replica of the famous Eiffel Tower. This replica was destroyed in the second World War, and the Tsūtenkaku replaced it years later.
