Universal Studios Japan

If you come to Osaka,Japan,I recommend you to go to Universal Studios Japan(USJ).
And I really want you to see 'Wicked' musical. USJ presents a 30 minutes USJ version of Wicked. The show generally uses American and Australian actresses to play Elphaba, and Japanese actresses play Glinda. This USJ version is performed mostly in Japanese,and portions in English.
I LOVE 'Wicked'!!:)
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE watch!!

Also I like 'Hollywood Dream the Ride'(roller coaster),'spiderman the ride','water world' and 'Universal monsters live rock and roll show'.
Please come and enjoy Universal Studios Japan!!

Good: 3D Terminator, Peter Pan
Bad: Sesame street, Woody Woodpecker, Jaws

It was a rainy day so that interfered with some events, such as the character parade. If there was fair weather I think we could have enjoyed it more.

It was still a neat day out with the kids (2), but there aren't any attractions that I would say are really awesome or spectacular, even a few we just regretted lining up for. So it was a bit costly for $70

Universal Studios Osaka is pretty similar to the one in California, but a fair bit smaller. We went in mid-August and it was SO hot. If you go in August, bring a huge water bottle. We only went on 3 rides there because the lineups were INSANE. There is a big outdoor Peter Pan show but it was cancelled the day I was there because of weather conditions.

We went on the Back to the Future Ride, the line was over an hour, but it was an awesome ride none the less. The Jurassic Park like was about 2 hours, but still an awesome ride. The line up was soo hot though, it was just ridiculous, but everyone in Japan had these little hand towels they used to help with the sweating issue. Seemed to work. The last ride was the Jaws one, which I didn't get to go on in California, but it was pretty cool here.

I saw 2 shows there, the Waterworld show and the Wizard of Oz show. Both a tad hard to understand if you don't speak Japanese., but still entertaining.

Theres a really cool shopping street area right outside the park that has some good stores, we ate at Mo's Burger which is apparently a famous burger joint in Japan.
