The park looked up and coming. The various themed areas were phenomically decorated and the food was also good in a 1950s American dining. The big problem of the day was that it was incredibly crowded. It was swarming with people and there was no place in the park where it wasn't. The park could not handle these crowds. At the various attractions we did, the carts took an unnecessarily long time to leave, causing long lines. A tip for Universal would be to list Japanese holidays and expectations for crowds on the website. A tip for visitors would be to do extensive research on expected crowds before booking your ticket.

Very easy to book tickets online. I was so glad to have booked skip-the-line tickets because there was a huge line at 15 minutes after opening. Osaka Castle was beautiful and the exhibits were quite educational.

There was an EXTREMELY long line to buy tickets to visit Osaka Castle. Luckily, we met a couple the night before that told us about buying tickets online to just show your QR code to get in quicker. So we looked it up and that's what we did. Bought the tickets in advance and there was no line to get in with our QR code. I would say it save at least 30 minutes. Totally recommended.
