Universal Studios Japan is one of the essential destinations when traveling to Osaka.

If you are going directly from Kansai International Airport, the shuttle bus that go directly to USJ are easy and convenient, but because of the limited number of buses, you may often have to take the train if the timing is not right.

However, for those who come to Osaka as tourists, train transfers can be complicated.

In this issue, we will introduce two ways to get to USJ by train with photos so that even beginners in Osaka can easily understand how to get there.

【USJ】Things every first-time visitor to USJ must do
USJ (Universal Studios Japan) celebrated the first anniversary of "Super Nintendo World", and is now a very popular spot visited by many people even on weekdays. Even though I live in Osaka, I don't often have the chance to go to these events, and I often wonder, "What is a ticket registration? What is an Area Timed Entry Ticket? What is a Lottery Ticket? What is a Confirmation Ticket? What is a "Yoyakunori"…? I had a lot of questions. This article provides an easy-to-understand explanation of everything from advance preparation to the flow of the day's events for such USJ beginners. Please study well in advance and enjoy yourself to the fullest on the day of the event. (This information is current as of Nov.2022. Please also check the official website as it is subject to change due to congestion, infectious diseases, etc.)
