Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting Universal Studios Japan with a friend, and it was a trip filled with nostalgia and excitement. Having worked at the park for five years, Universal Studios holds a special place in my heart, and I may be a bit biased, but I truly enjoyed every moment of it.
Our adventure began with a pang of sadness as we discovered that Spider-Man had bid farewell to the park since my last visit in January. Seeing his iconic signs gone felt like a piece of history had vanished. However, stumbling upon Spider-Man merchandise at the souvenir shop brought a smile to my face, reminding me of the memories we shared.
Accompanied by my friend, who was experiencing Universal Studios Japan for the first time, I eagerly guided her to all the must-visit attractions. We wasted no time and secured our time entry tickets for Nintendo World through the app, making the process seamless and efficient.
With our entry slot scheduled for later in the morning, we ventured into the park, starting our day with some delightful headbands to add to the fun. Our first stop was the Minion area, where we enjoyed the exhilarating ride inside Gru's house, followed by an encounter with Jaws, capturing memories with photos and rides.
After indulging in some churros and exploring various attractions, including Universal Wonderland, featuring beloved characters like Hello Kitty, Snoopy, and Sesame Street, it was time for the highlight of our day – Nintendo World. The anticipation for the Mario Kart ride was palpable, and despite the wait time, the experience was worth every minute.
As we bid farewell to Nintendo World and explored other areas of the park, including the enchanting Harry Potter section, we marveled at the diverse crowd, mostly comprising foreigners and students on school trips. The relatively quieter Monday allowed us to savor each moment without the usual hustle and bustle.
Reflecting on the day's adventures, I couldn't help but plan my next visit to Universal Studios Japan. Although I currently don't hold an annual pass, the prospect of future visits with friends from abroad is enticing, and I'm certain I'll be renewing my pass soon. After all, Universal Studios Japan never fails to deliver unforgettable experiences and cherished memories.
