One of the most important things about planning a trip to Universal Studios Japan is knowing when the must-do rides will be closed. Nobody wants to travel all the way to Osaka and find that Flying Dinosaur is not open. Or walk through Hogsmeade to see that Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey is under refurbishment.

This is where our Universal Studios Japan Ride Closures Calendar makes all the difference. It’ll help you make sure you don’t plan a once in a lifetime trip on the same day a key attraction is closed.

Universal Studios Japan Ride Closure Schedule

The Flying Dinosaur at Universal Studios Japan

This is a list of Universal Studios Japan ride closures for 2020 (including entertainment). Always double-check the official website for the most up-to-date information, which is subject to change without notice.

As of February 2020, the closure schedule only goes up to May 2020. Future ride closure information is released monthly.

Finally, Universal Studios Japan is strict with its maintenance schedule, which means you won’t see attractions open before the date indicated.
