A Spooky Halloween at USJ
My favorite Halloween event this year was at Universal Studios Japan in Osaka. It was a good idea to go for two days because there was SO much happening in the park. I never once felt bored during my experience.
Once I got off the shinkansen from Tokyo, I immediately made a beeline to USJ. During the day, I watched the Pokemon parade and took a picture with my favorite Pokemon: Gengar. From there, I used my express passes to check out some of the Halloween houses, with Biohazard being reserved for the evening.
Once evening hit, Hami-Kuma and his zombie crew lit up the night to terrify guests and dance to Ado's catchy hit, "Show." I got scared many times and loved every second of it.
It was a great first-time experience at Halloween Horror Nights for a horror fan like me.
Stay spooky, everyone.

Indulge in Harry Potter World at USJ
#exploreasia
I have always wanted to go to Japan again. I am very fortunate to revisit this country last 3 weeks. I spent around 12 days in Japan. Hopping from city to city.
My visit to USJ was not only a day but two straight days. Of course i took the opportunity to reride the same attractions/rides/roller coaster.
So if u are a thrill seekr like me, please hop on to Flying Dinosaur, The Hollywood Dream, The Backdrop, Spiderman ride and Harry Potter rides. Get yourself an express pass to cut 60-85 minutes of queue.
No Limit Parade is the highlight of USJ
Even if you are not into thrill ride or a theme park person, No Limit Parade is something you cannot miss.
It starts at 1pm near the Spider Man ride area. Coming here early means you can catch the greatest parade from the very beginning.
Sing along the electrifying performance by the artists and enjoy the energy of the dance. Many characters like Pokemon, Minion, Hello Kitty and Mario will appear. So make sure you catch the parade!

Come here if you are Harry Porter fans
We were very lucky to come to Universal Studio Japan on a sunny day.
Come to The Wizarding World of Harry Porter first if you are a fan and you can take the ride without long wait.
What impressed us the most was the magnificent reproduced castle, making it look like the story come alive. You can definitely immerse yourself in the world that you saw in the movie or read in the book.
#weekendgetaways
Lunch at Halloween Pokemon Cafe
Though we were here before the official Halloween 🎃 party of Universal Studio Japan, they already had the Halloween Party Pokemon Cafe opened. Of course, we took the chance to try out the lunch at this Pokemon-themed restaurant.
The food is so beautifully presented. Definitely, Pokemon fans will be delighted.
You will need to order food first before staff allocate you a table.
Price-S$20/dish and S$8/drink
#weekendgetaways
A-must visit for them park lovers
🎟️ We bought tickets in advance and reached here before the Universe Studio Japan opened. Joining in the entrance queue early earned us the early entry to Super Nintendo World, which is our aim of this theme park visit.
Finishing up the Super Nintendo World earlier, we were able to enjoy the rest of the other attractions like Harry Porter World and the No Limit Parade.
Definitely a-must visit in Osaka 💯

USJ Unleash Your Inner Child
#exploreasia
One of the tip to enter USJ faster is to buy the early entry ticket or simply come early because if you are lucky, you might be allowed to enter one hour ahead of the official opening time. and i was just lucky to be able to have that privilege. Queue was crazily long and people looked like they have been sleeping a day before. hahha
Anyway I bought 2 day pass for around RM 500 but I skipped the Fast Pass because it is quite expensive. But I guess its worth it for people who would not want to queue for rides.
Its important to downloas the USJ apps. It guarantees to assist and navigate your experience while in USJ
Scream and Shout at USJ, Osaka
#exploreasia
Osaka is on my list for this year trip. The focus is to have a scream and shout session visiting amusement park and one of it is Universal Studio Japan. It has always been on my list especially after knowing the existence of Super Nintendo World.
Do come early an hour cause if you are lucky, u will get early entrance prior the official opening time.
Tickets are sold around RM 250 per pax.
1st time experiencing Japanese theme park
Universal Studios Japan (Osaka)
This has been on my children’s bucket list for the longest time!!
The trip was planned in less than 3 months, so tickets were not easy to get by the time we had finalised the flights & dates.
An error in the booking date had me $300 poorer and failed to get the Nintendo timed tickets.
Thankfully, just being able to be at the Harry Potter world more than make up for it.
Both my children are already planning a return trip next year.
A Magical Fairy Tale Land In Japan

Who says Japan is just all about the sushi and the culture. Japan has also loads of fun filled places like Universal studios Japan located in Osaka where this is one of the 6 universal studios located world wide.
The park although open more than 20 years ago, it is well maintained and the props are ever changing. Unlike most of the Universal studios, Japan universal studios open late so that you can enjoy the night lights and the many photo taking spots! There is more than 10 over different zones but the most fun one for me is the super Nintendo world which is special to the Japan universal studios.

USJ: A Must Visit for Mario Bros Fans!
I recently embarked on an unforgettable adventure at Universal Studios Japan's Mario World, and it was nothing short of extraordinary! As a big fan of the Super Mario franchise, stepping into the vibrant and immersive world of Mario felt like a cherished dream turned into reality.
The meticulous attention to detail in Mario World is absolutely awe-inspiring. From the iconic brick blocks to the breathtaking landscapes of the Mushroom Kingdom, every element transported me into the enchanting realm of this beloved video game. The exhilarating rides, intricately designed to bring Mario Kart and Yoshi to life, provided a thrill like no other. Competing with fellow enthusiasts in a race for victory was a heart-pounding experience that left me with lasting memories.
The delectable Mario-themed snacks and a treasure trove of merchandise added to the charm of the experience. From mouthwatering treats to delightful keepsakes, Mario World offers a feast for the senses and a chance to bring a piece of the magic home.
For all the Mario fans out there and those seeking an immersive and nostalgic adventure, a visit to Mario World at Universal Studios Japan is an absolute must. Prepare to be transported into a whimsical universe and relive the cherished moments of your favorite video game. I, for one, cannot wait to revisit and rediscover the wonders that await in Mario World!

Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey
Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey เป็นเครื่องเล่นที่ดูมีอะไรสุดแล้ว เราชอบมากๆ ตอนเข้าปราสาทก็จะมีล็อกเกอร์ให้เก็บสัมภาระก่อน จากนั้นก็เดินตามทางเข้าไปในปราสาทจนถึงห้องที่ขึ้นเล่นเครื่องเล่น เราจะได้นั่งบนเก้าอี้ห้อยขา (มี 4 ที่นั่งติดกัน) อารมณ์เหมือนขี่ไม้กวาด จากนั้นก็จะพาเราเหาะผจญภัยเข้าไปในความมืด (ตัวละครพูดภาษาญี่ปุ่นหมด ไม่มีซับอังกฤษนะจ๊ะ) ด้านในจะมีทั้งการจำลองฉากจริงและฉายภาพ 3D (ไม่ต้องใส่แว่น) เวลาเหาะพุ่งลงนี่เสียวใช้ได้เลย แต่มันส์มาก ก็มีหมุนๆ ตีลังกาด้วย อาจเวียนหัวนิดหน่อย แต่เรายังชิลๆ นะ

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
Step into a world of enchantment at Universal Studios Japan's Harry Potter experience. Accompanied by my sister, we embarked on an unforgettable adventure that left us spellbound. The moment we arrived, we were greeted by the awe-inspiring sight of Hogwarts Castle, standing tall and majestic against the sky.
Eager to immerse ourselves in the wizarding world, we wasted no time queuing up for the famous Butterbeer. Despite the 30-minute wait, the first sip of the sweet, frothy concoction made it all worthwhile. As we explored the intricately designed streets of Hogsmeade, we couldn't resist capturing the magic in front of the iconic Hogwarts Express.
Every step we took revealed new wonders, from browsing mystical wands at Ollivanders to experiencing the heart-pounding thrill of the Forbidden Journey ride. The attention to detail was astonishing, making us feel like true witches and wizards.
Universal Studios Japan's Harry Potter experience is a haven for fans of J.K. Rowling's beloved series. It's a journey that transports you into the pages of the books and brings the magic to life. Without a doubt, it was an adventure my sister and I will cherish forever.

The First Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Asia
As a potterhead, Universal Studio Japan is one of a must visit place in the world, as they have The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. It's a place where your dream as a potterhead become reality. Universal Studio Japan is in Osaka, you can get there by bullet train from Tokyo. The journey takes about 2.5 – 3 hours. Be there early, so you can beat the crowd before anyone else and experience the Wizarding World of Harry Potter to the fullest. Strolling around Hogmeade, sip a glass of butterbear, and go to Olivanders to grab your first magical wand. Don't forget to take a ride on Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey.

USJ Harry Potter World

I had the opportunity to visit universal studios Japan in Osaka and managed to enter the Harry Potter world. unfortunately it was raining on the day itself but the rides were still ongoing! I tried the rides and they were really scary and exhilarating. will recommend going!! also went for some magic shows and it was really interactive and cool. glad they spoke in both Japanese and English. lastly I also tried the butter beer which tasted really good! will recommend visiting and spending a couple of hours here if possible. it’s fun!
Bucket list Unlocked
It was indeed a long trip but it’s worth it. The sceneries are amazing and extravagant. If you come from Shizuoka Ken like me better depart from your place early, like dawn. So you’ll get to enjoy what you actually pay for. #urbanexplorer#universalstudiosjapan #mytripvlog #celebratewithtrip #bucketlistreboot
