While this is not Disney news, this may impact your trip plans when you come to Japan. If you’re heading to Universal Studios Japan after your visit to Tokyo Disney Resort, then it may be worthwhile stopping in Nagoya, while on the way to Osaka, to visit the new LEGOLAND Japan. Which opens Saturday, April 1, 2017.

Here is a small preview of everything you need to know about Japan’s first ever Lego theme park. All information and images are from the official LEGOLAND Japan website.
