Buying the express pass really made things much faster! We got to experience 10 attractions that day, which meant we didn't have to rush through the itinerary so much, which I thought was great.

Why Is Super Nintendo World So Famous?

Profile of Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto

Profile of Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto | From Adafruit Blog

About Mario

Mario was created by game designer Shigeru Miyamoto in the early 1980s. He is a plumber wearing overalls and a red hat.

Meanwhile, this game of "jumping, collecting, and clearing levels" left a deep impression on many people's childhoods. The pixelated backgrounds and colorful blocks were simply captivating.

The immersive experiences are really fun

Inside Super Nintendo World, you can tap on various blocks, question mark boxes, and interactive installations. Meanwhile, you'll see floating platforms, spinning coins, and even moving carnivorous plants!

The core spirit of adventure

Mario's optimistic, courageous, and ever-adventurous spirit perfectly aligns with the American cultural sentiment of "challenging the impossible." His vibrant color scheme—bright reds and blues—creates a playful and carefree visual impact. So it's easy to believe that this is why he's so appealing!

How Many Super Nintendo World Are There?

- There are three at Universal Studios Japan, Universal Studios Hollywood, and Universal Epic Universe.

Fantastic park, I highly recommend it! It was quite crowded, but being alone and with an express pass for 5 attractions, I was really able to enjoy my experience. I rode Hollywood Ride twice (once with a pass and once solo) and Flying with Dragons three times (once with a pass and twice solo). These two attractions are truly amazing!!! The Mario world is cool too, but it's small, so the crowded atmosphere takes away some of the charm… the scenery throughout the park is really well done. I arrived at 7:30 am (30 minutes before the park opened) and was able to get in around 8:15 am.

How to Get into Super Nintendo World Japan?

Now that you've bought your tickets, the very first step is done! Then, you need to figure out how to get to USJ.

Step 1: Getting from the Airport to Your City Center Hotel

Most international flights to Osaka depart from Kansai International Airport (KIX). You can choose from:

  • Train (highly recommended): Take the Nankai Railway to Namba Station. If you're staying in the Umeda area, you can transfer to the JR line.
  • Airport Bus: If you have a lot of luggage, the bus can take you directly to Umeda or some large hotels, but it's not as fast as the train!

Step 2: Getting to Universal Studios Japan (USJ)

No matter where you are in the city center, open a map app (Google Maps is very useful in Japan) and search for "Universal Studios Japan" or "Universal City Station".

  • Take the JR Line to Nishikujo Station.
  • Transfer to the JR Yumesaki Line directly to Universal Studios Japan Station.
  • Upon exiting the station, you'll see a charming pedestrian street.
  • Walk through this iconic shopping area for about 5 minutes, and you'll reach the entrance to Universal Studios Japan.

Step 3: How to "enter" at the entrance

Make sure you have your e-ticket (QR code) first.

  • Show your QR code: Before queuing to enter the park, save the QR code image of your e-ticket to your phone's photo album, or open the ticketing platform and show the QR code. Turn your screen brightness to maximum.
  • Scan the code directly: Simply scan your phone against the scanner. Once you hear a "beep" and the gate opens, you can go in!

RIHGA Royal Hotel Osaka, Vignette Collection

9.2/10Great1506 Reviews
Nakanoshima Osaka|1.42km from city center
The hotel environment was very satisfying, and the room was spacious. We booked a deluxe twin room, which was also very clean. The room came with an air purifier, complimentary water, and toiletries that included not only shower essentials but also facial cleanser, lotion, and toner, so you really don't need to bring your own. The two-prong outlets are the same as in China, so I didn't even need the adapter I brought. However, if you have a three-prong plug, you might need an adapter. The hotel's shuttle bus was super convenient, taking us directly to Umeda Station. Finding our way back was also easy. Of course, Umeda Station is truly huge and complex; even when I stayed in Umeda later, I didn't find it particularly convenient because we were always out early and back late.

The Royal Park Hotel Iconic Osaka Midosuji

9.3/10Great1958 Reviews
Osaka Station/Umeda/Yodoyabashi/Hommachi Osaka|0.76km from city center
Before booking, I compared countless hotels and read some mixed and negative reviews about the Royal, so I was honestly a bit hesitant. But after much thought, I realized that having three breakfasts included would be incredibly convenient, so I decided to give it a try. And the result? It truly exceeded my expectations! First off, the room was very clean, with none of the hygiene issues mentioned in some reviews. Plus, the room was cleaned daily. The breakfast was also excellent—Western style, with meat, vegetables, fruits, various fresh juices, and coffee ☕️, all readily available. We also made use of the self-service laundry 👚 every day, which was incredibly convenient and saved us a lot of hassle. As for transportation, it's closer to Yodoyabashi (than Honmachi), about a 5-minute walk, making it easy to get anywhere. All in all, it was a very, very, very satisfying travel experience ☺️

America Mura Osaka|2.25km from city center
Highly recommend The Bridge Hotel for its great location and value. It is just a few minutes from the Shinsaibashi shopping street and the subway station, making it very easy to travel around Osaka. Although the rooms are small, they are very clean and well-designed. The best part is the free extras: free ramen at night, free drinks, and massage chairs. The staff is helpful, friendly, and speaks good English. If you want a convenient and comfortable place to stay, this hotel is a wonderful choice.

Hotel Hankyu Respire Osaka

9.2/10Great4022 Reviews
Umeda Osaka|1.34km from city center
Decided to go to Japan for a few days during the National Day holiday on a whim, so I looked for a hotel with a good location. The room was indeed very small; it was hard to walk around once my 28-inch suitcase was open. The pros are that it's clean and tidy, and the service attitude is excellent – though I don't think there are any hotels with bad service in Japan anyway. It rained heavily for two of the three days I was there, which made the hotel's location incredibly convenient and thoughtful. I could do all my shopping and dining without even leaving the building. You can still hear the trains arriving and departing at night, but it's not a major issue.

Swissotel Nankai Osaka

9.2/10Great1747 Reviews
Shinsaibashi/Namba/Yotsubashi Osaka|3.29km from city center
This five-star hotel has an excellent location, very convenient for getting to the airport. However, beyond the location, everything else is a downside. The room is small, and the toilet and shower are in the same cramped space, making it much worse than a non-five-star hotel in Japan. The main issue is that the service is terrible for a five-star establishment. You can't enter the pool even one minute before opening time, and what's more, pool guests and gym guests share the same entrance. Yet, the staff insists that only pool guests must take off their shoes, while gym guests can enter with shoes on! It's absolutely incomprehensible! Plus, the swimming pool was very dirty! My experience was completely negative!

Sheraton Miyako Hotel Osaka

Uehommachi/Tennoji/Southern Osaka Osaka|3.56km from city center
For a Japanese hotel, the room was quite spacious. But the best part is the incredibly convenient location. There's a direct shuttle bus to Kansai Airport right downstairs, though you do need to book in advance. We only went downstairs right before our departure and, due to the language barrier, we didn't understand what the driver was telling us. We later found out online that you need to purchase tickets and reserve seats ahead of time. Plus, with the subway station right below the hotel, getting anywhere is a breeze.

Rooms 28, 29, and 30 come with Executive Lounge access. I stayed on the 29th floor this time, and the view was fantastic, right across from Daimaru Department Store. The room was spacious, well-equipped, and made for a wonderful stay. Breakfast offers both Western and Japanese options. The Executive Lounge on the 31st floor is very relaxing for breakfast, afternoon tea, and evening cocktails; it's uncrowded with a great ambiance, and accessible multiple times a day with your room card.

InterContinental Osaka

9.5/10Amazing881 Reviews
Umeda Osaka|1.58km from city center
If you're visiting Osaka, I highly recommend the InterContinental Osaka. This was my second stay, occupying room 2207 for five consecutive nights, and I'll definitely choose it again next time I'm in the city. The hotel boasts an excellent location in the heart of the Umeda business district. It's directly connected indoors to various surrounding shopping malls, making it incredibly convenient for browsing, shopping, and dining. Getting a taxi is also very easy. The hotel is very friendly towards Chinese guests, with Chinese-speaking staff at the front desk, ensuring smooth communication. The rooms are cleaned meticulously every day, and the attention to detail in their service is delightful. Housekeeping even carefully coiled and organized scattered charging cables. The mini-bar offers a great variety, and the coffee quality is excellent. Breakfast is incredibly rich and delicious, with different Osaka-specific dishes every day! While hotel rooms in Japan are generally small, the rooms here are exceptionally spacious. Not only is the bedroom expansive, but there's also a separate bathroom and walk-in closet. For our family of three, we had plenty of space even with four suitcases. All the staff are warm and attentive. During checkout, the Japanese female staff member at the front desk was particularly friendly and provided thoughtful service, leaving us feeling truly valued. Overall, the stay was a perfect experience, and I highly recommend it for families traveling to Osaka.

The hotel is very close to Umeda, so much so that I could still squeeze in some sightseeing in the morning before my afternoon flight. The location gets a big thumbs up! 👍🏾👍🏾 Even a standard room offers beautiful city views. 👍🏾👍🏾 However, aside from two bottles of mineral water, no other complimentary drinks were provided. 😶

Courtyard Osaka Honmachi

Osaka Station/Umeda/Yodoyabashi/Hommachi Osaka|1.29km from city center
The location is fantastic – it's quiet despite being in a bustling area, and not far from Osaka's iconic Glico Man and Shinsaibashi, as long as you can navigate well. Upon entering the hotel, there's a subtle, pleasant aroma that immediately makes you feel comfortable. For Japan, the room size is quite generous; of course, there are bigger ones, but I believe in Japan, the price and room size are definitely proportional to the value for money. The front desk staff, regardless of the time, always served with a smile and answered questions diligently. Yes, I mean diligently – they genuinely put their hearts into serving guests. There was a minor hiccup during check-in, which I didn't even dwell on. I simply mentioned it casually late at night when exchanging coins. To my surprise, when I returned to the hotel the next afternoon after shopping, I found an apology card and some fruit in my room. They truly value guest satisfaction and the quality of their hotel. If I visit Osaka again, this hotel will definitely be my top choice.

The hotel's exterior has a lot of style, and the public facilities are good, with a very clean bathhouse. However, the hotel room is too small; we could barely open two suitcases. There was no space to even eat instant noodles! 😭 The hotel isn't in a tourist area, but there are some local shops nearby that are worth exploring. I highly recommend a breakfast place called Rivori nearby; their bread is delicious. The hotel is relatively close to ”Yodoyabashi” station, but the exits there are quite confusing. For two days, we never managed to use the same exit to get back to the hotel. It's about a 10-minute walk from the subway station.

Excellent! 👍 It might be a bit tricky to find for first-time visitors to Osaka, but it's no problem if you use navigation. It's very close to Tanimachi Line, Higashi-Umeda Exit 4, and also near the Nishi-Tenma 36 bus stop. Facilities: Comprehensive, and there's even a hot spring pool to soak in. However, please note ⚠️, no tattoos allowed 🙅‍♂️. Hygiene: The cleanliness of this hotel is superb! 👍 Extremely clean. Environment: The breakfast quality is high, and the ingredients are excellent. But you need to eat early, around 9 AM, as they stop replenishing food by 9:45 AM. Service: The front desk staff are also very friendly. For friends who smoke, remember to use the smoking room on the first floor to light up! 😄 The second picture shows the smoking room.

The room is small but clean and tidy. The lobby offers a simple breakfast with freshly made onigiri, bread, salad, and yogurt, and you can take it back to your room. There's also a microwave and oven in the lobby for heating food. Plus, there are free snacks, drinks, and even alcohol available at various times throughout the day.
