If you’re planning a visit to Universal Studios Japan, you’re in for a treat! To help you make the most of your time in the park, we’ve compiled a list of 5 USJ tips to ensure a memorable and enjoyable experience.
1. Buy your tickets in advance and arrive an hour early
The big thing you should know to start if visiting Universal Studios Japan anytime soon is that the park has been quietly opening around an hour before the published time. Since this early opening is unadvertised and unpublished, it could stop happening at any time.
2. Download the USJ app
If you want to check ride wait times, show schedules, the park map, and more, download the USJ app. With the app on your phone, you can time when to go on certain rides and know about current ride closures. Additionally, if you are lucky, you might also be able to receive digital timed- entry passes for free!
3. Purchase Universal Express Passes
A game-changing USJ tip is purchasing Universal Express Passes, so you can save time on queuing for rides and different attractions. This is especially useful for popular areas, like the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Super Nintendo World, as they have limited capacity.
4. Take advantage of the Single Rider lines
A USJ tip: Take the Single Rider lines! These tend to be shorter than regular lines as single riders are used to fill up each rollercoaster train. If you’re travelling alone or simply don’t mind riding with strangers, line up here, and get to your ride faster!
5. Visit during weekdays or off-peak seasons
If you find Express Passes too costly or want to avoid large crowds and long wait times, visit on weekdays or off-peak seasons! Another insider USJ tip is to visit on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The weekend will naturally have more people visiting, but what others don’t know is that local school trips are scheduled on Mondays and Tuesdays!

Hot Spots for Retirees to Start Their Encore Career
Encore Career: Vocational School Instructor
Retire in: Los Angeles, CA
Ever since IBM CEO Ginni Rometty coined the term “new collar” to describe well-paid jobs that require specific skills but not necessarily a degree, vocational schools have made a serious comeback. Apparently instructors are in short supply in sunny L.A., where there are 13 jobs at vocational schools for every applicant on the market. This is a great opportunity for skilled retirees since, unlike teaching at a public school that requires a state certificate, the only requirement here is that you be a seasoned expert in your field.
Encore Career: Business Consultant
Retire in: Miami, FL
Consulting is a great option for a retired business professional looking to make their own hours, be their own boss, and earn as much or as little as needed to maintain their standard of living. For every consultant in Miami right now there are 13 businesses hoping to hire them. There’s even greater demand here than in Washington D.C., which is typically considered the consulting capital of the world.
Encore Career: Tourist Wrangler
Retire in: Austin, TX
As the economy continues to boom and more Americans have extra income to spend, the tourism industry has taken off. This is particularly true in Austin, TX, where there were astonishing 36 tourism jobs for every applicant in July. Between four-star hotels, the noisy rock n’ roll scene, and a new food culture, Austin is the place to be if you want to work in service industry.
Encore Career: Supporter of the Arts
Retire in: Charleston, SC
If you’re a Baby Boomer with a degree in the arts, now could be the perfect time to revisit your passion for creativity, especially if you also want to live in the center of southern charm. Between the 14 art galleries on King Street in Old Town, an abundance of acting companies and theaters, and music festivals, it’s not surprising there were 25 jobs for every arty applicant iii Charleston.
