Im in a magical world 🪄🧙🧙♂️#2024wish Coming into The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is one of items in my bucket list! Finally achieve this in this day 😍 Thought USJ is huge, but each and every area has its down distinctive design and atmosphere. I thought I was riding the magic broom all the way in here! 😝 We chosen one of the famous rides - Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey and queue for close to 90minutes for the 5minutes ride. All I can say is you will never regret it! Tips: Do not enter into the queue right after any drink or butter beer as there is no emergency exit to washroom 🫣 Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ hundred thousands stars⭐️⭐️⭐️ In 2024, I wish to travel to Perth to meet the Kangaroos and Koalas🦘🐨!!!!!Seay Doer8

The Wizarding World of Harry PotterUniversal Studios Japan Harry Potter Address: 2 Chome-1-33 Sakurajima, Konohana Ward, Osaka, 554-0031, Japan Get a timed entry during peak period to enter The Wizarding World of Harry Potter or you can choose to come on a low peak season. One time, I was here during the typhoon seasons and there was no queue to enter Harry Potter World and there was no need to use express pass too. I took my time to look through all their merchandise and played at their interactive zones. I have come to USJ several times and tried out the many versions of butter beer such as hot butterbeer, frozen butterbeer and so on like ice cream and fudge. To clarify, it is not a real beer. It is just vanilla ice cream with ice cream soda and butterscotch. #japan #createwithtrip #overseastripmoments #urbanexplorerBerrysurprise11

Harry Potter theme park in Osaka is really amazing. I even felt that I could use magic to fly in this place!! 🤩Does it sound great? here is very cool after walk around outside where the highest temperature is 32 degrees. Again it feels like being in the magical world of Harry Potter. Sitting in a magic car and feel the excitement of the magic world.🙆🏻♀️ #happynewyearnetsten30
Halloween reminds us of trip moment to Universal Studio Japan and enjoy The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. We are lucky to visit on Friday with less crowd. We could experience the ride of Harry Potter the Forbidden Journey, saw the wand magic show, and a bird coaster. There are many jack-o lantern decoration near the castle during Halloween season.agaphe14
A must-visit amusement park in Osaka — Universal Studios Japan📍Detailed address: 〒554-0031 Osaka Prefecture, Osaka City, Konohana Ward, Sakurajima 2 Chome-1-33 🕙Operating hours: During the peak season these days, it's from 8:00 to 22:00, and they basically start letting people in at 7:45 in the morning ⏳Playtime: It's very sunny during the day, and it's usually quite tiring after playing for most of the day 💰Average cost: The tickets were quite expensive on the days we went, with an advance online booking of 528 per person 🌟Play experience: Universal Studios Japan was established quite early, and the park is huge, divided into 8 areas. Unique to Japan is the Super Mario area, as well as special zones for anime characters like Doraemon. The opening and closing times vary every day. We went in mid-August, just in time for the Obon holiday, so the park opened at 8 am and closed at 10 pm. It is recommended to queue up more than half an hour in advance, which makes it easier to enter the park. The staff politely ask you to check your bag, and food that can easily spill is not allowed inside. After successfully entering the park, we went straight to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter with our strategy planned in advance, and in less than half an hour, we enjoyed the Forbidden Journey and the Flight of the Hippogriff, feeling almost as if we had bought an express pass. Both attractions were very fun, offering a standard thrill but with a great experience, leaving a lasting impression. It's best for early arrivals to head straight for the popular attractions. Then, reserve a timed entry ticket for the Nintendo area on the official website usj, which we got for around 10 am. After buying a small magic wand in Harry Potter and leisurely casting spells for photos, we walked to the Super Mario area for more pictures. Honestly, if you don't have an express pass, you might want to skip the popular Mario Kart ride. We queued up but didn't want to give up, and ended up spending a full two hours on this attraction, with no end in sight to the line, and the experience was somewhat childish and not worth the wait. If possible, have lunch at the Three Broomsticks in Harry Potter; if it's too busy, at least try a Butterbeer and a meat pie, which are absolutely amazing. By noon, my cousin and nephew were exhausted, and I had to give up on the attractions I wanted to visit in the afternoon. We quickly visited the Minions and Doraemon before leaving the park to return to the hotel. Although it was a bit of a pity, it's normal to have regrets when traveling, and there will be other opportunities to visit Universal Studios parks elsewhere in the future.buoyant.leona

RELIVE THE HARRY POTTER EXPERIENCES IN USJ#wheretogo This is an one of a lifetime experiences to venture into the Wizarding World of Harry Potter exclusively only in Universal Studio Japan, Osaka. Harry Potter fans should visit this place when visiting Japan, it feels so magical and beautiful where the town built exactly like in the movie, selling wizard uniforms, wizards’ wands, owl plushies and even the flying brooms! The streets were filled with merchandise stores and there is even the legendary express train that brought Harry into the school. We ride on the two attractions that they got to offer, the griffin roller coaster and the forbidden journey ride. It was super fun and thrilling, we were love the forbidden journey ride though it took us 2 hours of queuing time on a weekday, but definitely worth it! We also tried the famous frozen butterbeer that only sold there, it’s really delicious and fizzy, it’s non-alcoholic so it’s also suitable for children.Klessmann1

Just as the first movie was being plannedJK Rowling politely declined the invitation. In 2004,Rowling and Disney signed a preliminary letter ofintent, planning to establish a Harry Potter area in themagical kingdom, including shooting and attackingprojects with the theme of Defense Against the DarkArts and face-to-face sports projects with the themeof protecting magical creatures. Dissatisfied with therelatively small park planning and restricted projectcontrol, Rowling ultimately abandoned this intention.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter offers an enchanting experience for fans and newcomers alike. From the immersive recreations of iconic locations to thrilling rides like Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, it's a magical journey through J.K. Rowling's beloved universe. Worth every galleon!
this is probably the number one must-visit attraction for all Harry Potter fans! the replica of hogwarts and the diagon alley as well as the hogwarts express were so real that made me feel like being part of the fantasy. there you can buy lots of HP souvenirs. Must try the non-alcoholic ‘beer’ and roast chicken. very tasty.
really nice place.You should try to go at once if you have chance.Tips: try to go earlier as you cancuz there are always crowded
100% Harry Potter all day. The design and decor are such great representations of the books and films. you feel like you are in Hogsmeade for real. the food and the butterbeer were so yummy. the castle ride is intense and can be scary for young kids. we received the special wand from the ollivanders shop and the kids loved traveling around with it activating all the special experiences.
this is for all the Harry potter fans who have imagined the visuals when reading the books. You will feel as if you are living in the Harry Potter universe.
The best ride ever. The line was long but it was worth it. Amazing effects and thrilling experience.
