We bought two-day tickets, which turned yellow because some rides weren't working. We went through everything in one day, and even went on the top rides three times. The queues for the rides were 5/15 minutes long after 7 p.m., but during the day, they were 90 minutes long. The food was fast food only 🌭. I was surprised to see drinking fountains everywhere, everything was beautiful. Unlike in China, there was nowhere to charge a phone. It's a shame there are no refundable tickets; if it rains, you have to walk around wet.

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.

It had been 23 years since my last visit to Universal Studios Japan. I was able to ride Hollywood Drift with a wait time of just under 60 minutes, and most of the other attractions only had a 10-minute wait. I thoroughly enjoyed myself from 10 am to 6 pm.

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

9.2/10Great1507 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 Royal Park Hotel Iconic Osaka Midosuji

9.3/10Great1989 Reviews
Osaka Station/Umeda/Yodoyabashi/Hommachi Osaka|0.76km from city center
Facilities: The facilities are comprehensive, with all daily necessities provided in the room, so there's no need to buy extra or bring your own. Each floor has self-service washing machines with both washing and drying functions, which is very convenient. Just prepare one-yen coins, or you can exchange them at the front desk. Hygiene: The hygiene is excellent, very clean overall. If you need your room cleaned, you need to put the cleaning sign on the door before 2 PM; otherwise, it won't be cleaned. Environment: The environment is superb, right in the city center, very close to Shinsaibashi and Umeda commercial districts, just one subway stop away. The subway is the Midosuji Line (red line), and it's about a 700m walk from the hotel. It's also quiet despite being in a bustling area. The hotel surroundings are very peaceful, with a 7-Eleven and a coffee shop right outside, and many restaurants and cafes nearby. Service: The service is great, and the staff are all very nice.

Sheraton Miyako Hotel Osaka

9/10Great2905 Reviews
Uehommachi/Tennoji/Southern Osaka Osaka|3.56km from city center
I booked a newly renovated room on the executive floor at the Sheraton this time, and it was excellent. The air conditioning finally works independently, allowing for individual control and adjustment. The air felt much fresher, unlike before when the AC always seemed insufficient. The location is superb; you can take the airport bus directly to the Uehommachi Kintetsu Bus Terminal, and on your way out, you can also easily get a direct bus to the airport. While the subway isn't on a main line, it's still quite convenient. Nearby is a somewhat old-fashioned Kintetsu Plaza, where you can find pretty much everything for shopping and dining. It's also quite close to Shinsaibashi and Namba.

Hotel Hankyu Respire Osaka

9.2/10Great3741 Reviews
Umeda Osaka|1.34km from city center
We booked a quad room for our family of four, and everyone got a great night's sleep. Shopping at department stores and drugstores was incredibly convenient, and there were plenty of dining options nearby. The picture shows our first meal, which we randomly picked on the 8th floor right below the hotel – it was delicious! The public transport nearby can take you to any attraction you want to visit. Both check-in and check-out were self-service and easy to use. Things to note: 1. Remember to ask the front desk for skincare products. 2. There's a microwave in the corner of the lobby for heating food. 3. For extra trash to be collected, you need to stick a yellow sticker (found behind the door) on the garbage bag. 4. There's no water in the room, but you can get drinking water in the lobby, or buy it daily from FamilyMart downstairs. Oh, and the direct airport bus service is really a big plus! I'm not a travel expert, but following a guide made everything straightforward. I saw mixed reviews for this hotel, but I still wanted to share my genuine experience for others' reference. It's a hotel that can really save you travel time, and I'd definitely choose it again next time I'm in Osaka.

Swissotel Nankai Osaka

9.2/10Great1777 Reviews
Shinsaibashi/Namba/Yotsubashi Osaka|3.29km from city center
Even if it's pouring rain or snowing heavily in Osaka, you won't get wet or step in snow if you stay at the Swissotel Nankai. That's because the Nankai Airport Express is right below the hotel. After exiting the ticket gate, you can take the escalator directly to the 7th floor for the hotel lobby. The hotel service is good, but even after renovation, the facilities are only average for a five-star hotel; its main advantage is convenience. Among the hotel's restaurants, the teppanyaki is quite famous.

Hotel Nikko Osaka

America Mura Osaka|2.22km from city center
Excellent stay! The room was spacious and the view absolutely stunning. They provided great amenities, even makeup remover oil and face masks. The location is unbeatable, right in the absolute center. Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi are just a short walk away. The subway station is right downstairs, making it super easy to get to Umeda and Namba in under ten minutes. Breakfast was decent; not a huge selection but affordable. Plus, there's a Chinese-speaking front desk, so communication was a breeze. Overall, I highly recommend this place in Osaka!

Hilton Osaka Hotel

9/10Great877 Reviews
Umeda Osaka|0.89km from city center
The room was a bit small, I booked a twin room for 2200 a night at the end of May. It was okay though, haha, the location is great, very convenient to get anywhere. It's right next to the station, and there are plenty of places to eat nearby. Hermes is right downstairs. Facilities: Quite new Cleanliness: Decent Ambiance: It's an older building, so a bit dated Service: Very good, I forgot my credit card and didn't have cash, but they still let me check in without a pre-authorization deposit.

Osaka Marriott Miyako Hotel

9.4/10Amazing2036 Reviews
Uehommachi/Tennoji/Southern Osaka Osaka|5.42km from city center
I genuinely think the Osaka Marriott is the best value-for-money Marriott I've ever stayed at, from the 6000+ won Jeju Marriott to Marriotts in China and Europe. Not only is it incredibly clean, but everything is also so user-friendly and convenient. The room cleaning was very timely, amenities were well-stocked, and it was a very comfortable stay. The Tennoji location is also excellent; you don't need to transfer trains to get anywhere. I used the Kansai Thru Pass, taking the JR Osaka Loop Line for nearby places and the Kuroshio express for further destinations like Kii-Katsuura – it was very useful. I booked a connecting room and requested a high floor, which they accommodated by giving me a room on the 52nd floor, though it faced south. Next time, it would be even better if I could get a north-facing room. Before going, I read some reviews and was concerned about a potential smell in the room. When we checked in, there was no smell at all. However, after going out one day and returning, I noticed a slight odor. I cranked the air conditioning to max and lowered the temperature, and after a while, the smell was gone. Others might want to try this if they encounter the same issue. Oh, and the breakfast is pretty good; at least they have Udon noodles and curry rice. You can also make your own dorayaki. Overall, I give it a five-star recommendation.

Mitsui Garden Hotel Osaka Premier(Mitsui Garden Hotel Osaka Nakanoshima Premier on Feb 26, 2027)

9.1/10Great752 Reviews
Nakanoshima Osaka|0.83km from city center
The room itself is decent, though it might feel a bit cramped for two people. The location is quite good, right by what I'd call Osaka's 'Suzhou Creek.' There are many art museums nearby. However, if you're a woman walking alone at night, it can feel a bit deserted. If you plan on staying out late, a more central location might be better. I told the front desk I'm a light sleeper, but they still put me right across from the cleaning room, which was really annoying. I was woken up early in the morning by the noise. I've attached the shuttle schedule. I actually found it more convenient to take the bus to the art museum.

Hotel New Otani Osaka

9.4/10Amazing1531 Reviews
Osaka Castle/Kyobashi/Eastern Osaka Osaka|2.82km from city center
The hotel's location is superb. It's a convenient 3-5 minute walk to Osakajokoen JR Station, making it easy to get anywhere. There's an elevator inside the station that goes directly to the exit. After exiting, you walk about a hundred meters along a corridor to another elevator that takes you to ground level. Cross a small bridge and an intersection, and you're at the hotel. This is incredibly convenient if you have large luggage. The hotel is situated on the northeast side of Osaka Castle Park, by a small bridge, so you can easily stroll along the castle moat anytime. Shopping and dining are also very convenient. Cross the overpass from the park's south exit, and you'll find Q's Mall. There are also countless restaurants if you walk to Kyobashi Station (and along the way). For airport transfers, take the JR line to Tennoji, then transfer to the JR Loop Line (red), and it's just six stops to Osakajokoen Station. The hotel's cleanliness and facilities are excellent, especially the soundproofing – it's very quiet. The mattress and pillows are just right, providing a great sleeping environment. The hotel service is highly professional, from the front desk and restaurant to the lobby and concierge. The breakfast is a rich blend of Western and Japanese styles (though the coffee was a bit weak). I stayed for seven nights in total and had a fantastic experience.

We loved this location so much! 7/11 right underneath, family mart around the corner - we went to 7/11 every morning and night, haha! It is a really nice area to walk around in at night! There is a beautiful bridge over the river. The Yodoyabashi subway station (at exit/entrance 19) is a 45 second walk from the hotel. They clean the rooms everyday unless you put the do not disturb magnet up! (The ONE thing we want to note about this hotel is that the rooms seemingly have very little airflow or capacity for hang drying clothes.)

Shinsaibashi Grand Hotel Osaka

9/10Great1581 Reviews
Shinsaibashi/Namba/Yotsubashi Osaka|2.48km from city center
I have stayed in this hotel 3 times now and look forward to staying again. The rooms are the usual compact size, are clean and comfortable. The ground floor area has a microwave, free soft drinks and coffee and is quite pleasant. The location is convienient for shopping, visiting Dotonburi and there is a major supermarket 2 minutes walk away - the walk to the Namba station for airport trains is about 15 minutes but is easy enough.

9.4/10Amazing1722 Reviews
Shinsaibashi/Namba/Yotsubashi Osaka|3.53km from city center
The room is spacious and well-equipped, and the front desk staff had no problem communicating in English. There's a microwave in the room, which I assume is standard for all rooms. As for the amenities I used, there's a gym and a water dispenser. The gym requires a key card to enter, and so does the elevator. The location is excellent; Nihonbashi is right outside, and there's a subway station about a 5-minute walk north.

Hotel Resol Trinity Osaka

9.2/10Great504 Reviews
Osaka Station/Umeda/Yodoyabashi/Hommachi Osaka|0.49km from city center
It's a great hotel, location is in the business district so a little bit further from central Osaka (Dotonbori etc) if that's where you'd prefer to be. The onsen is great, as long as you follow the rules it's really relaxing and the amenities are fabulous. Room was great, a really good size for Japanese standards, complete with complimentary waters everyday. It's quite a dark hotel so if that's not your vibe then I wouldn't stay here but we really enjoyed it.

The environment is excellent, and I had a very comfortable stay. The window offers a great view, the room is spacious, and the ceiling height is good. I looked forward to coming back to the hotel every day. I visited Universal Studios for two consecutive days. The hotel is right by the JR station, offering a quiet escape despite being in a bustling area.
