Universal Studios Japan

"During the May Day holiday, I went to Japan for a trip and bought a 2-day ticket to Universal Studios Japan. The experience was so good that I had to give it a five-star rating! As soon as I entered the park, it was like breaking into a movie world, and the atmosphere was amazing! The amusement facilities here are so rich that you can't imagine whether it's a roller coaster for excitement or an immersive 4D experience project! I strongly recommend the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Hogwarts Castle, Butterbeer, which really highly restores the movie scenes. The Forbidden Journey makes me feel like I'm on an adventure with Harry Potter, and my heartbeat accelerates throughout the whole process! There is also Super Nintendo World, where I feel like I have become a character in the game. Mario Kart must be played, and AR glasses must be put on for an immersive experience of speed and passion! The two-day ticket is really wise! On the first day, I will take a general look and play the popular projects. On the second day, I can slowly check in the places I didn't have time to go on the first day, and I can also play the projects I like twice, which is really very enjoyable. There are also many delicious foods in the park, such as Minions burgers and turkey legs. When you are tired, sit down and eat something to replenish your energy. The staff is also very enthusiastic and considerate everywhere! This trip to Universal Studios Japan is really great. It is definitely worth buying a 2-day ticket. Don't worry!"

"Not bad, the elevator queue is very long and long, and the view is great after going up. It is better to choose a day that is not too sun-dried, because there are many long sections without shade. The traffic is fairly convenient and the overall experience is good."

"While the castle itself may seem overrated, the surrounding and the park is absolutely a treat. I would definitely recommend to take the inter park train, walk around the castle and check out their merch shop."

"Tongtiange is a frequent scene in Japanese animation and film and television dramas. It is the most visited attraction in Osaka. Tongtiange has many subways passing by. You have a variety of food and merchandise stores, zoos and municipal art galleries, which are very convenient. Online appointments, no need to pick up tickets, lack of paper bills collection. There are many tourists visiting, waiting for 20 minutes to board the pavilion, there are official photos upstairs, first indoor to see, then outdoor unobstructed, downstairs there are various cultural and creative products, it feels very user-friendly."

"It is a shopping street with a long history. It is an excellent place to explore the common people’s culture in Osaka, Japan. The small shops on both sides are full of nostalgic style of the times. A dazzling array of products and various specialty shops, There are also very exaggerated signboards, which can take many good photos. It is also a concentrated place for fried skewers. You can feel the local people’s eating and party habits."
EXPO 2025 OSAKA, KANSAI, JAPAN

"Hello everyone, do you know "World Expo"? "Expo" is an event that brings together many people and things from all over the world. It is a place where wisdom from all over the world is gathered to solve various global issues. The Osaka World Expo (EXPO'70), held for the first time in Japan and Asia in 1970, became a major event that symbolized Japan's rapid economic growth. The 2025 Osaka Kansai World Expo will be held in Japan again after 20 years since the Love and Earth Expo held in 2005. "World Expo" will give birth to new technologies and products, becoming an "opportunity" for convenient life. For example, elevators (1853, New York World Expo)/telephones (1876, Philadelphia World Expo) family restaurants, cordless phones, electric cars, moving walkways (1970 Osaka World Expo) IC chip tickets, AEDs, dry fog (2005 Aichi World Expo) and so on have been developed one after another."

"Abeno Observatory in Osaka is worth a visit! The 360° panoramic view is so stunning. During the day, you can see landmarks such as Osaka Castle and Tsutenkaku. The bright night view at night is even more beautiful, and the light show is full of atmosphere. The surrounding facilities are rich, the sky garden is cozy, and the cultural and creative shops are interesting. The staff is considerate and the ticket price is a bit expensive, but the viewing experience is excellent. It is a great place to feel the charm of Osaka!"

"The architecture of the Umeda Building itself is also very distinctive. It is the best observation deck in Osaka Castle, with a wide view, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Osaka Castle from a high vantage point. It is worth a visit😄"
LEGOLAND Discovery Center Osaka

"This Lego exploration center, like many cities, the city Lego miniature landscape, Lego interactive area (building and then you can shake the button, assembly the car or something), Lego three-dimensional movies... These, it has a small climbing naughty castle for small Children play, there is also a flying car to do, there is also a theme restaurant. That's it, and it's easy to see after entering. If you want to come here for it, it is really unnecessary, but the problem is that this area has a sea tour hall, a Tianbaoshan Ferris wheel, and a cruise ship. It is a place where you can relay for a day, so this Lego center is worth having a place for children to play. And I used the Kansai travel coupon at that time. I bought it at a seafood market. 70 people can play three attractions. This Lego is one of them. The price/performance ratio suddenly burst 😂😂😂."
