You know the Universal Studios Japan is not just famous for its Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey.The Universal Studios Japan is also famous for its super long queue!Some visitors will step back from the Universal Studios Japan because of the long long queue.Now we will give you some tips. Some visitors only have a single day to visit the Universal Studios Japan.But most of the visitors are foreigners.How to stand out among the crowds becomes a integral topic.So we are here to tell you how to avoid the super looooooooooooooong queue! 1.Being the Early Bird While tickets can be purchased at the front counter, the lines can get really long. By long I mean really really long. Many unsuspecting foreign tourists end up queueing even after the park gates have opened. Can you imagine waiting outside while people are already streaming into the park? You can also purchase them online via the official website, but the ticketing site is only in Japanese. So unless you have a Japanese friend who can help you out, it’s literally impossible to navigate the site. Not wanting to lose out to the locals, we ended up booking our tickets to Universal Studios Japan via Hulutrip.com. Activity booking sites like Klook work like online travel agents but without the frills. What I especially found convenient was their mobile app which allowed us to book on the go. The e-ticket was issued immediately and we simply had to scan the QR code at the entrance for entry. No need to collect your tickets beforehand or fear that you will misplace them. 2.Be the Bird Early This might seem like a very Singaporean thing, but trust me, there are far more competitively “kiasu” (eager) people than us. Despite getting our tickets earlier we decided to arrive at 8am, a full hour before the park opened. Yet there was already a decent queue in front of us. When the park opened, people were literally running to their attraction of choice. Locals and tourists alike. We were a little too cool to run, but thankfully because of good planning, got to our first rollercoaster (Hollywood Dream -The Ride Back Drop) with only a 5min wait. |
