How to get here:
I'm so excited to visit Universal Studios Japan because of "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter". Potterheads will surely be delightful to see this mystical place of Hogwarts!
As early as 8am we are already lined up at the entrance park. Muggles are piling up as time pass by and at 9:30am they opened the gate! I was suprised that most of them ran and so we did ^.^ , most of them wanted to secure pass to enter Hogwarts. Yes you still need a "pass/ticket" to enter "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter", the pass has your time of entry to Hogwarts. This was done in order to accommodate visitors in timely manner.
Reservation Ticket Entrance

We spent more than half of the day at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. The weather didn't cooperate much with a light rain in this autumn season, somehow we still make the most of it exploring every corner of this theme park!
Hello Kitty overload!
Hello Kitty Dress
This is so cute, designed Hello Kitty plant.
I've been to Universal Studios Singapore (twice), well for me Universal Studios Japan has a lot to offer except that some of the attractions is outdated and spoken in Japanese. Even the staff speaks pure Japanese even if you ask them in English :) funny isn't ^^, but nevertheless I enjoyed my day here in USJ!
Welcome to Amityville
Halloween in USJ
Sesame Street Central Park
Universal Studios Parade
Definitely a worth well day spent here in USJ, one of the world best amusement park. Everything is delightful, can't explain how much we enjoyed "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter". Well this place is really crowded, need a lot of patient waiting for the rides. Don't expect some English translation here, as most of the rides/attraction is spoken in Japanese. Food is everywhere, don't worry you won't get hungry and there are lot of choices too.
