First, you’ll need a Studio Pass, USJ’s basic park admission ticket. Prices vary by date and demand, including busy periods such as Halloween, Christmas, and Japan’s Golden Week. Choose from the following options to suit your schedule and pace.

Whether you have a 1-day, Twilight, 1.5-day, or 2-day pass, these are all standard studio passes. While Super Nintendo World occasionally allows walk-in entry depending on daily crowd levels, guaranteed access requires either purchasing an Express Pass with guaranteed area entry in advance or arriving early to secure a free Timed Entry eTicket via the official app.

Additionally, standard USJ tickets do not permit re-entry (annual passes excluded)—once you exit through the gates, you cannot return, so be sure to plan your lunch and dinner inside the park!

The different types of USJ tickets can be confusing. A Studio Pass simply gets you through the park gates. To plan the rest of your day, it helps to understand these three ticket systems.

Universal Express Pass combinations vary widely and change with seasonal events. Instead of starting with every individual option, first decide what you most want to do, then look for a pass that matches.

Once you’ve identified the type of visit you want, use the tables below to check the attractions included in each pass and the restrictions on rides marked “choose one.”

An Express Pass isn’t the only way to save time. USJ’s special queues and free reservation systems can also help you spend less of your day waiting.

Once you’ve sorted out admission and Express Passes, get familiar with the park’s practical services. Whether you’re arriving with a suitcase or visiting with young children and older relatives, these four services can make your day much easier.

Coin-operated lockers are available both inside and outside USJ. If you have a large suitcase, perhaps because you’ve just arrived in Japan or are heading to the airport later, use the extra-large lockers outside the main gates.

USJ offers rentals if an older family member has limited mobility, or if you’d rather avoid bringing a bulky stroller on the train.

USJ offers accessibility services to help guests with additional needs enjoy the park. Visit Guest Services after entering to ask which support options suit your group.

After shopping for USJ souvenirs, remember to allow time for the tax-free procedure.

A little preparation goes a long way at Universal Studios Japan. Choose an Express Pass around the attractions you actually want to experience, then make use of the official app and the park’s guest services to reduce unnecessary waiting and fatigue. That applies whether you’re here for high-speed thrills or a family day out with children and older relatives.

Admission tickets for popular dates and sought-after Express Pass combinations can sell out in advance, so book online once your plans are firm. Then get ready to make your own memories in SUPER NINTENDO WORLD and the park’s other themed areas!
