A powerful ride full of thrills and romance



The first thing that cannot be avoided when talking about Universal Studios Japan is that it is still a very powerful ride.
Rides, i.e. "rides ", but Universal Studios Japan has dozens of attractions based on Hollywood movies.
Nowadays, special emphasis is placed on attractions called "screamers. "Hollywood Dream the Ride ", an outdoor coaster, is one of the most popular. The coaster is operated backwards, called a backdrop, in addition to the regular ride, and the G's and unknown thrills attract many people.
In addition, new outdoor coasters such as "The Flying Dinosaur "will give you vivid memories of being suspended in midair and speeding through the blue sky.
"Rides such as Space Fantasy the Ride "and "Jurassic Park the Ride "also continue to gain in popularity.
The former, in particular, is often used in collaborations at different times of the year, as will be described later, and the normal version has conversely become rare in some aspects.
"Past collaborations with the likes of Progressive Giant ", "Sadako ", and "One Piece "have followed the worldview of the series in high quality.

More than just screams! There are many attractions where you can enjoy the world of traditional classic movies!



Although the first half of this article has focused on roller coasters, Universal Studios Japan also offers many other exciting rides.
In particular, many works that colored the youth of the junior high school to university student generation, which is now the volume zone, are featured, and I can assure you that even families will find something to tug at their heartstrings.
The lineup is seamless, with attractions such as the Terminator world in 3D, "Jaws ", which depicts a shark confrontation on a boat, or the 4K 3D experiential ride "Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man ", which is still a firm favorite today.

It's refreshing to see a flexible attitude to adopt the latest trends! Anything goes as long as it's fun and an assortment of entertainment!



There are major reasons why Universal Studios Japan, which had been in a slump for some time, has made such a comeback and established a position that is comparable to that of a certain dreamland in the East.
This can only be attributed to the fact that they were willing to attract popular and trendy entertainment without being constrained by existing frameworks.
While keeping the background of a Hollywood theme park, we are now consolidating other forms of entertainment from the past and present.
It is this greedy attitude and the high level of perfection in recreating the world of games and movies that they admire with high quality that has given many customers an emotional experience and is the reason for their support.

The forefront of entertainment in the old and the new!



The current Universal Studios Japan has created a virtuous cycle of more people → development of the next area.
"Two pillars in particular are "Harry Potter "and "Super Mario "areas that faithfully recreate the world of Super Mario. Although they are relatively newly established, they have become the centerpiece contents that represent Universal Studios Japan.
Both of these works have achieved an extraordinary quality that makes you feel as if you have jumped into the world of the work, and the attention to detail in terms of materials and modeling is truly professional work.
The attention to detail that does not disappoint even those who love the work is breathtaking and makes many people groan.
There are also many other collaborations for children, such as "Hello Kitty "and "Minion ", which are truly fun for young and old alike.

A full range of limited-time collaborations are also available!



As mentioned above, the theme park is a collection of permanent areas and numerous entertainment options, but it is also very rich in limited-time collaborations.
I have the impression that collaborations with manga and anime works, which boast of being at the forefront of Japan, are particularly rich, contributing to the symbolism of Cool Japan.

It will also play a role in promoting Cool Japan!



"Universal Cool Japan "is also known for its collaborations with popular Japanese manga and anime, which have been held for the past several years and are popular with many people because of their rarity.
This collaboration is sure to be a hit with fans, as some of the attractions will be changed to manga and anime specifications, and characters and items from the works will appear as full-size photo booths.
In FY2022, collaborations with popular works such as "Monster Hunter ""Sailor Moon ""Shingeki no Kyojin ""Detective Conan ", as well as the first collaboration with "HUNTER x HUNTER "to celebrate the resumption of the series.
In the past, we have collaborated with "One Piece, ""Dragon Ball, ""Doraemon, ""Evangelion, "and others, so you can enjoy the world view of the most popular works that everyone knows.

Creating an area that replicates the streets of Hollywood!



Collaborations with various forms of entertainment are an essential part of the Universal Studios Japan story, but the starting point is still the Hollywood worldview.
As soon as you enter, the main area, with Spider-Man and others in the center, is like stepping back in time to the Hollywood of "those days ".

The attention to detail and ingenuity can be glimpsed!



The cobblestone and brick streets and buildings make one feel as if the Hollywood of that era has remained intact.
This alone is powerful and intoxicating, but it is also interesting to see the ingenuity that enlivens the power.
Specifically, perspective is used to make the buildings appear larger.
The limited site is depicted with great power through visually appealing innovations such as placing buildings (Spiderman attraction) in the back to make them appear larger, or conversely, unifying all the buildings at the same size.
You can talk about it as trivia, and you can enjoy it in a different way because you can feel the professionalism from such a viewpoint.

It can also be enjoyed in cosplay and uniforms!



Universal Studios Japan is a gathering place of entertainment, so you can come dressed in cosplay and various other conspicuous attire and not be seen.
Many people casually visit the museum after school with their uniforms and annual passports in hand.
College students and others often pull uniforms off the shelves saying "special for today only ".

The Halloween costume festival is a must-see quality!



When it comes to costumes at Universal Studios Japan, one cannot forget Halloween.
This is an autumn event in which people bring their favorite outfits to decorate the park at night, which we will delve into in more detail later.
We have a slightly darker "Horror Night "worldview as well as costumes from famous works, so you can dress up as zombies, ghosts, Frankensteins, and other authentic horror-related costumes.
The parade of people in elaborate and high quality costumes is breathtaking and exciting.

Japan's largest authentic Halloween event



Universal Studios Japan's Halloween is the largest and most authentic event of its kind in Japan.
There are many young people who voluntarily enjoy masquerades in urban areas such as Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Dotonbori, but they are wild and chaotic over there.
This is "Horror Night "and the event is based on a single purpose: to bring scary costumes and make the event happen together.

Zombie processions, parades, and big dances! The real Halloween is here!



Halloween at Universal Studios Japan is a collaborative art in which cast members and guests work together to create a single space in costume.
During the night hours, a space appears to separate the area from children and those who do not like scary things, and there are no compromises as we can push through truly scary costumes and staging.
Cast members and serious guests will work in unison to create a dark Halloween unique to Universal Studios Japan.
"Universal Studios Japan, whose motto is "NO LIMIT! "", has taken great care in the color scheme and decoration of the area, and has created a zombie movie atmosphere with a sense of queueing and panic.
It is quite stimulating, scary and grotesque, so please visit with an open mind.

Food is also excellent! The menu is full of dishes that can only be found here!

When it comes to theme parks, one cannot forget the unique gourmet food. There are many varieties of them, from fancy junk food that is hard to find in everyday life to gourmet foods that give a sense of commitment & immersion that follows the world of the artwork.
We hope you will try it for an extraordinary experience.

The gourmet food, which follows the world of the masterpiece, is lovely and memorable!



There are so many gourmet foods and meals that follow the world of many works of art that there is no end to the list.
Some of the popular spots include, for example, the Butterbeer in the main Harry Potter area "Wizarding World of Harry Potter ", which is exactly as it appears in the film.
The bubbles are applied to the lips to create a beard, just like in the movie.
There are other great gourmet food stands that make the most of both genre and world view, such as a wild bone-in turkey leg in honor of "Jerassic Park "and a meat bun in the shape of a minion.
Of course, they also look great, so many people take pictures and post them on social networking sites.
