one day Itinerary for USJ

Hey 🍋8 family! Today i gonna share the itinerary for USJ! I spend the whole day in USJ and it was SO MUCH FUN!🤩 I went to USJ on Thursday due to avoid crowds.

I set off from my hotel at 8 AM without breakfast, aiming to arrive at Universal Studios Japan by 9 AM. However, a small wrong turn delayed my arrival by an hour, reaching the park at 10 AM. Nevertheless, this unexpected delay added an extra dash of adventure to my day. Here’s some ways to go USJ , please check it out!

Here's a detailed recap of my thrilling day at Universal Studios Japan:

10 AM: 🏃‍♀️Rushing to SUPER NINTENDO WORLD™ to obtain my Area Timed Entry Ticket scheduled for 6 PM.

10:20 AM - 11:38 AM: Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem

The longest wait was at the first attraction 😅, Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem. Although they advertised a single rider option on the website, it might depend on the situation. Despite not being a huge fan of Despicable Me, I found the interactive game delightful and suitable for children. Guests transform into minions, enjoying a motion ride offering varying perspectives, concluding with a heartwarming finale.

12:07 PM - 12:23 PM: The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman – The Ride 4K3D

Concluding its 20-year run, this ride🎢has been a Universal Studios Japan staple. A captivating 4D experience with a roving motion base, offering steep plunges and over 100 special effects, including a blast of warm air, my personal favorite. Plus, the single rider option allowed me to breeze through quickly! (This attraction will be closing permanently as of January 22, 2024, exactly twenty years to the day it first opened)

12:35 PM - 12:58 PM: SADAKO'S CURSE: DARK HORROR RIDE

An eerie and thrilling escape from Sadako's curse in complete darkness. The Japanese dialogue added to the mysterious roller coaster ride experience, though I didn't understand it, coupled with chilling screams. 😱

1:00 PM - 1:15 PM: NO LIMIT! Parade

My first parade experience amidst vibrant 🤩 Super Mario and Pokémon characters, Minions, Elmo, and Snoopy dancing to catchy tunes. An energizing spectacle!

1:20 PM - 2:20 PM: Hollywood Dream - The Ride

An exhilarating roller coaster ride amplified by the chosen soundtrack, with intense centrifugal force making the wait worthwhile. I choose Happy by Pharrell Williams. It’s quite interesting that you can listen to music while riding roller coaster. I would say this ride has the most powerful spinning force 🥶 feel like i gonna fly out to the moon 🥺

3:15 PM - 3:30 PM: Water World Show

Accidentally stumbled upon this show after the roller coaster. The performance showcased stunning water-based stunts and thrilling crashes, despite being in Japanese. The Seaplane crash landing, fuel tank explosion, and water cannon fight were all worth the time. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lunch at Discovery Restaurant in Jurassic Park

🍚Taking a break at the Discovery Restaurant, I opted for a Beef Don set. A small mishap led to an unrequested beer, making me wonder if I appeared a bit too eager for alcohol. Choosing an outdoor seat to watch others on the roller coaster, the meal was average in taste and portion size.

5:50 PM - 6:07 PM: Mario Kart: Koopa’s Challenge

Excited to finally experience SUPER NINTENDO WORLD™, I swiftly queued for Mario Kart: Koopa’s Challenge 🚗 surprisingly facing only a 10-minute wait. A fun and kid-friendly game where I emerged as the victorious player.

Dinner at Kinopio's Café™ in SUPER NINTENDO WORLD™

Although already full, I couldn't resist visiting this famous spot. Ordering three dishes, the dessert stood out as exceptionally delightful, capturing a memorable 📸 photograph as a keepsake.

7:30 PM: Entering The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

Entering this immersive area filled with magical experiences, I observed others casting spells using interactive wands, although I hadn't purchased one myself.

7:42 PM - 7:53 PM: Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™

Concluding the day with a ride that included fire-breathing dragons and animatronic spiders, although enjoyable, it proved a bit overwhelming after indulging in a full meal, leaving me feeling slightly🤢queasy after the ride.

That’s it for my itinerary part! Please enjoy your day at Universal Studios Japan! Even though plans can sometimes take unexpected turns, this well-thought-out itinerary guarantees a thrilling and enjoyable time.
