Universal Studios Japan is one of the top attractions when visiting Osaka and the Kansai area. With a perfect balance between thrill rides, family-friendly attractions, seasonal events, painfully cute merchandise, and delicious food, the park makes for an unforgettable experience. The ever-changing variety of offerings makes Universal Studios Japan a must-visit for theme park enthusiasts and tourists alike.

I’ve visited Universal Studios Japan numerous times and have gained insider knowledge to help you not miss anything.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I get this edition or wait for the next?

The current edition (2023) was released on March 1, 2023, and is up-to-date as of the publishing date.

We plan to have a new edition each year to give you the best and most up-to-date information. Similar to other travel guides, each edition is a separate purchase.

What’s the difference in the information in this guidebook compared to your website/blog?

While our website offers endless information about Universal Studios Japan and Super Nintendo World, it doesn’t offer food recommendations for every restaurant, multi-day itineraries, suggested budgets, custom Park maps, and easy-to-digest explanations on essential aspects of the park. The website also doesn’t have general information for travel to Japan that every traveller needs to know (visa, Japanese toilets, earthquakes, etc.). This guide has so much information that it wouldn’t fit in multiple blog posts.

Are there photos in this guide?

I wanted to keep this guidebook as portable as possible while being jam-packed with information. For that reason, I decided not to include photos. This allows us to keep the file size down, so you can have it on any device without worrying about space. If you’re looking for photos, I post our best ones on Instagram.

However, I wanted to ensure you could find your way around Universal Studios Japan, Osaka, and Kyoto as efficiently as possible. That’s why you’ll find professionally created, custom maps to help you visualize the Parks and to simplify transportation.

The guidebook also has chapters dedicated to the city of Osaka and Kyoto. These two chapters are full of my tips and recommendations from personal experience.

What makes you an expert on Universal Studios Japan?

I’ve lived in Japan for over a decade and have visited Universal Studios Japan since 2003. I have numerous visits under my belt and love learning new ways to maximize my time at Universal. Anything I recommend in the guidebook is my favourite, and I stand by them.

Is this guidebook available in print?

This guidebook is only available as a downloadable PDF.

Is this available to download from Amazon, Kindle Store, or any other platform?
