Universal Studios Japan
Overview
Universal Studios came to Japan in 2001 and the Japanese showed their appreciation by turning up in force - 11 million people turned up in the first year! It is the fastest any park has reached that milestone, making it the most successful new theme park in history.
And they haven't stopped going - 9 million visited last year, and we are offering you the opportunity to be one of them! The park consists of 9 areas, with 18 blockbuster attractions including Spiderman, Jaws and E.T. You won't go hungry with 20 theme restaurants to choose from, and roving street performers will keep you entertained as you move around.
USJ is not only a great day out but gives an interesting insight into the Japanese take on Western culture and movies.
