Universal Studios Japan's Movie Magic
Last updated: August 25, 2026
Universal Studios Japan puts you inside the worlds of your favourite games and films, from Super Nintendo World to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, with seasonal takeovers like the park-wide Halloween Horror Nights layered on through the year. One of Japan's most-loved theme parks, it sits on Osaka's waterfront — Universal City Station is around 15 minutes from Osaka Station by JR, and the gates are a short walk from there.

Park entry alone doesn't guarantee it on busy days — entry to the area runs on timed slots issued free through the park's official app once you're inside. Head for the app as soon as you enter, since slots for popular times go quickly.
From Osaka Station, take the JR Osaka Loop Line to Nishikujo and change to the JR Yumesaki Line for Universal City Station — around 15 minutes in total, with some direct trains at busy times. The park entrance is a short, well-signed walk from the station through Universal CityWalk.
