Park guide and photos by Gavin Jones





Universal Studios Japan, conveniently located around twenty minutes from Osaka's main train station, is one of the best-themed, and busiest, parks in Asia. As you would expect, this park has a lot of similarities with its American cousins, in terms of both atmosphere and ride selection.

The rides here include major attractions from both Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure, as well as some unique attractions. The rides here seem to be identical to their Florida counterparts, with one major exception. All of the narration is, of course, in Japanese.
