It was a lot of fun, despite the crowds of tourists, there was plenty of room for everyone. It's best to get an express pass; trust me, it'll come in handy! The only real disappointment was the Mario Kart; all the other rides were amazing!

Getting into the theme park was super easy! We could enter directly without spending time buying tickets. It was quick, convenient, and totally worth it. We had such a great time, and even though it was crowded, we were impressed by so many things. Everything was amazing, and we really enjoyed our visit!

A magnificent place that everyone should visit! If you don't mind spending the money, take the Fasttrek; if you don't mind spending the money, go on your own, but you won't have time to do it all.

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.

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

9.2/10Great1502 Reviews
Nakanoshima Osaka|1.42km from city center
Blown away by the bakery downstairs! Not only do they have freshly baked bread, but also delicious and affordable food from the hotel restaurant. I loved how plentiful the hotel shuttle bus and taxis were! 😍 On our first night, we got an upgraded room. While it was bigger, the toilet and shower were combined. Since we were traveling with an elder, I was concerned about the safety of climbing in and out of the bathtub. After speaking with the front desk, they changed us back to our original room type. The next day, the hotel staff even brought our luggage directly to the new room and helped set up the extra bed – I was so grateful! ❤️ The hotel is located in Nakanoshima, which is perfect for a city walk. I'll definitely stay here again next time!!

The room isn't very spacious, and there's no complimentary bottled water. Luckily, there's a 7-Eleven and a drugstore downstairs, which is convenient for grabbing essentials. Check-in was quick and easy, and the room was clean, though the duvet wasn't very comfortable. The hotel's location is excellent, very close to the subway station, making it easy to get around.

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 ☺️

This was my first trip to Osaka, and staying at this hotel made the experience even more memorable. The hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. The staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and always willing to help with any questions I had. Housekeeping did an excellent job every day, keeping the room spotless and neatly organized. I was especially impressed by the attention to detail and the care shown by the staff. I even left a tip for housekeeping, but they kindly did not take it, which showed their professionalism and dedication to providing great service without expecting anything in return. The hotel was comfortable, clean, and welcoming throughout my stay. I truly appreciated the hospitality and excellent service. If I visit Osaka again in the future, I will definitely book this hotel again and will gladly recommend it to my friends and family. Thank you for making my first Osaka trip such a wonderful experience!

Hotel Hankyu Respire Osaka

Umeda Osaka|1.34km from city center
This hotel is super convenient, located right above Yodobashi Camera near Umeda Station, which is always bustling with people. The room amenities are great, with a nice wet/dry bathroom separation. I was given a room on the 25th floor with a pretty good view. The hotel is massive, with 4 sets of elevators. You take one from the ground floor to the 9th-floor lobby, and then transfer to another set of hotel elevators from the 9th floor. You rarely have to wait long. The laundry room has many washing machines, almost always full, but it's really convenient that you can check the laundry room's usage and remaining time through the TV in your room. The 25th-floor view is nice. I didn't try breakfast. Overall, it's pretty great! 👍🏻

Our room was clean, comfortable, and spacious, with a lovely view of Osaka. The staff were friendly, professional, and accommodating, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We also loved how convenient it was to get around Osaka from the hotel. Everything was just within easy reach. Overall, a great hotel for both convenience and comfort.

Great hotel with the best locations, there is an exit in the metro #8 directly below the hotel, very convenient to move, in fact you can not even go outside and get into the convenient and modern shopping centers that stand nearby, Parco and Daimaru. I recommend taking a superior room on a high floor with a non-road view and it will be the best solution. It's literally 7 minutes from the hotel to the Dotonbori. The most comfortable hotel I stayed at

Osaka Marriott Miyako Hotel

Uehommachi/Tennoji/Southern Osaka Osaka|5.42km from city center
We were a family of three staying here, and it was a fantastic experience. The room was clean and not cramped at all. It was also tidied up daily. Both the daytime and nighttime views were excellent! There were no strange odors in the room. All the hotel staff were very friendly; they'd greet us proactively and were quick to help whenever we had any issues. The location is superb. It avoids the crowds of Shinsaibashi and Umeda, yet getting anywhere is incredibly convenient. It's about 15 minutes to Shinsaibashi and Umeda, and around 30+ minutes to Universal Studios Japan or the Osaka Aquarium. It's also very easy to get to Kyoto, Nara, and Kobe. The elevator provides direct access to the Kintetsu department store, making dining and shopping very convenient. Across the street, there are also MIO and Q's shopping centers. Shopping is incredibly easy, and it's not overly crowded. Highly recommended! Our whole family was very satisfied. We checked out on the 14th for two nights in Kyoto, and after returning on the 16th, we decided to continue our stay at the Osaka Marriott.

Osaka Castle/Kyobashi/Eastern Osaka Osaka|2.82km from city center
The room was great! It's rare to find a triple room in Osaka with three beds, a sofa, coffee table, and desk, where you can still open two large suitcases. The room was quite clean, and while the decor is a bit dated, it didn't affect our stay. If you don't hang the 'eco-friendly' sign outside your door, they clean the room and change the sheets and duvet covers daily. Overall, the service was very good. The hotel is right next to Osaka Castle Park, within easy walking distance. There are two subway lines nearby, both less than 300 meters away, which is very convenient. There's also a direct bus stop to Kansai Airport right downstairs. The two subway lines downstairs go directly to Shinsaibashi, so it's super convenient to get anywhere. There are several restaurants, Western and Japanese, and convenience stores near the Osaka Castle Park entrance.

Osaka Station/Umeda/Yodoyabashi/Hommachi Osaka|0.49km from city center
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.

Upon check-in, I was only given a wooden tag, no key or room card. The capsule bed rooms have magnetic folding doors, which provide privacy but might make you feel less secure about your valuables. The fourth floor is women-only and has both showers and toilets. Washing machines are located on the 2nd and 10th floors, costing 300 yen to wash and 100 yen to dry. I was a bit disappointed because the pictures in the description showed a public bath, but upon arrival, I found out there was only a male bath, no female bath. The free self-service luggage storage is very convenient!

Zentis Osaka

9.4/10Amazing1015 Reviews
Osaka Station/Umeda/Yodoyabashi/Hommachi Osaka|0.57km from city center
1. **Location** This was my second visit to Osaka. Although it's part of the Umeda area, it's conveniently located midway between Namba and Umeda. It's situated between Nishi-Umeda Station and Higobashi Station on the Yotsubashi Line, and also close to Yodoyabashi Station on the Midosuji Line, making transportation very convenient. What's even more appealing is the Dojima underground shopping street right in front of the hotel, allowing direct underground access to Osaka Station, which was a huge plus for easy travel. 2. **Hotel Facilities** According to the Palace Hotel Group, which developed the hotel brand, the name 'Zentis' is a combination of words and a naming concept derived from: - **Zen (禅)**: The Eastern philosophical concept of 'Zen' representing peace of mind, emptiness, restrained aesthetics, and richness within restraint. - **Intuition / Insight**: A space that resonates with the senses and intuition of individual guests. - **Aesthetics**: A sophisticated design sense that is understated yet refined. Indeed, the interior design of Zentis Osaka was handled by world-renowned designer Tara Bernerd, famous for skillfully blending traditional Japanese 'Zen' aesthetics (Eastern emptiness and naturalism) with modern Western sensibilities. - **Use of Natural Materials**: Utilizes eco-friendly materials like wood, stone, and warm-toned fabrics. - **Clean Design**: Avoids excessive decoration, emphasizing spatial openness and flow. - **Peace of Mind**: Although located in the heart of the city (Osaka Dojima), the moment you step inside, it creates a serene atmosphere unique to 'Zen,' bringing a sense of calm and order. The rooms were also clean, and I particularly liked that they had hardwood floors instead of carpet. 3. **Staff Friendliness** I arrived early on the first day, intending to just drop off my luggage and go sightseeing, but they allowed an early check-in. All the staff were very kind and helpful, which I appreciated. 5. **Overall Conclusion** If I visit Osaka again, I would definitely want to stay here.

It's incredibly convenient whether you're shopping, eating, or getting around, saving so much travel time. 💖 We booked a family room, and the kids absolutely loved the bunk bed. It was sparkling clean, and there was no unpleasant odor in the bathroom. The breakfast spread was excellent, with a wide variety from hot porridge to Western pastries, all fresh and delicious.
