A highly recommended nighttime attraction. The lights, music, and performances create a lively atmosphere, and the performers are very engaged and interactive. The entire event is unique, with many memorable moments along the way, making for great photos and allowing you to experience the local entertainment culture. It's best to go in the evening for an even better atmosphere and a truly unforgettable travel experience.

Fortunately, it didn't rain, so everything went smoothly. As expected, there were a lot of people and the lines were incredibly long. I was looking forward to the parade, but for some reason, they didn't really do much of it. So, I was a bit disappointed.

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!

Hotels in Osaka

Family friendly

RIHGA Royal Hotel Osaka, Vignette Collection

9.2/10Great1506 Reviews
Nakanoshima Osaka|1.42km from city center
The free shuttle bus to and from Osaka Station (Umeda) makes it super convenient for shopping in Umeda. Plus, there's direct underground access from B1 to Keihan Nakanoshima Station, which is great for getting to Kyoto. The hotel's location in Nakanoshima is quiet and peaceful, a welcome change from the hustle and bustle of Dotonbori. The only downsides are that while there's a convenience store downstairs, local restaurants are scarce, so you'll mainly rely on hotel dining or traveling to Umeda for meals.

The Royal Park Hotel Iconic Osaka Midosuji

9.3/10Great1983 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 ☺️

Sheraton Miyako Hotel Osaka

9/10Great2870 Reviews
Uehommachi/Tennoji/Southern Osaka Osaka|3.56km from city center
This hotel was recommended by a friend, and its location is absolutely fantastic. Downstairs, there's a city rail station, and it's a hub for various subway lines, making travel incredibly convenient. It's very close to Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori. The airport shuttle also has a stop right next to the hotel, which is super handy for getting around. I stayed for three nights, and the room was quite spacious, quiet, and spotlessly clean. I'm particular about my sleep, so I was thrilled that the bed was very comfortable and the environment was peaceful. I highly recommend it and will definitely stay here again in the future.

Hotel Granvia Osaka-Jr Hotel Group

9.1/10Great4108 Reviews
Umeda Osaka|1.03km from city center
Staying at Hotel Granvia Osaka was such a pleasant experience! The location is unbeatable — right in the heart of Osaka, with shopping, restaurants and eateries all around, making it incredibly convenient to explore the city. What I loved most is how central it is for travelling beyond Osaka too. With Osaka Station right there, it’s so easy to head out to places like Kyoto, Kobe and Kurashiki without wasting time getting across the city. A special shout-out to Don at the hotel, whose service was truly top-notch. He spoke excellent English, was incredibly accommodating and made me feel very well taken care of. The hotel even upgraded my room for free, which was such a lovely surprise! And for Pokémon fans — this is a bonus I absolutely loved! 😍 The Pokémon Center is just on the 13th floor, so you can literally pop down whenever you feel like browsing or shopping. Overall, a fantastic base for an Osaka trip — excellent location, wonderful service, comfortable stay and plenty of shopping and dining right at your doorstep. Would definitely stay here again!

Hotel Hankyu Respire Osaka

9.2/10Great3829 Reviews
Umeda Osaka|1.34km from city center
Hotel is the most convenient stay near Osaka Station: it sits directly above JR Osaka Station’s Central Gate, so you step off the train and into the lobby without dragging luggage outside. Rooms are compact by Western standards but clean, quiet, and well‑equipped, with comfortable beds, city or courtyard views, and reliable free Wi‑Fi. The hotel’s real strength is location and service—staff are consistently praised as helpful and efficient, and you’re minutes from Umeda’s department stores, restaurants, and subway lines. On‑site dining ranges from casual cafes to higher‑end Japanese and Western options, plus a lounge bar; breakfast offers Japanese and Western choices. Ideal for transit‑heavy itineraries (Shinkansen at Shin‑Osaka, Kansai Airport via Haruka) and travelers who value time over large rooms.

Swissotel Nankai Osaka

9.2/10Great1759 Reviews
Shinsaibashi/Namba/Yotsubashi Osaka|3.29km from city center
This hotel boasts an excellent location, with its lobby conveniently situated on the 6th floor of Nankai Namba Station. It's highly recommended if you have a lot of luggage. There's direct access to Takashimaya from certain floors of the hotel, making shopping and dining incredibly easy. Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori are also within a 10-minute walk. Right next to the lobby, on the 10th floor (accessible by elevator), you'll find a 7-Eleven and various restaurants. It's truly a fantastic choice for a trip to Osaka. The restaurant on the top floor offers a panoramic 360-degree view of the city. The rooms are exceptionally spacious for a Japanese hotel. I would definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit.

Hotel Nikko Osaka

9.3/10Great4834 Reviews
America Mura Osaka|2.22km from city center
The location is absolutely fantastic! It's right across the street from Shinsaibashi shopping street, and diagonally opposite Daimaru department store. If you buy a lot of things, you can easily pop back to the hotel to drop them off and then head out again. Subway Exit 8 has an elevator directly to the second-floor lobby, so you don't have to worry about rain. There are also many convenience stores nearby, and I usually get breakfast there. I'll definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit.

Osaka Marriott Miyako Hotel

9.4/10Amazing2048 Reviews
Uehommachi/Tennoji/Southern Osaka Osaka|5.42km from city center
This is always my go-to hotel whenever I visit Osaka, a definite must-stay. I won't even bother mentioning how convenient its location is. This time, I was pleasantly surprised to find so many thoughtful little details added since last year. For example, as soon as the elevator reaches the 19th floor, a concierge takes your luggage and another staff member assists with check-in. Even standard rooms now have a welcome gift. After the turndown service in the evening, they provide the next day's weather forecast and a goodnight treat. It's these small touches that truly impress a detail-oriented person like me. I sincerely hope the hotel continues to thrive.
FromTHB 6,143

Hotel New Otani Osaka

9.4/10Amazing1524 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.

Osaka Station/Umeda/Yodoyabashi/Hommachi Osaka|0.57km from city center
Rooms are surprisingly spacious and beautifully designed, amenities are out of this world. Some people have mentioned that it may not be the best fit if you are traveling with a family since both the shower and the toilet have windows, but for a young couple that was a great experience. The whole place has a very nice smell and you can sense it even from the street connected to the main entrance. One thing that threw us off a little when checking-in was the request from the staff to give them our credit card that we used when booking so that they can charge us in case we break something. Yes, once I informed the staff that I do not have it on me, they said ”Okay” and the issue went away completely, but it did leave a bad aftertaste and I ended up feeling uneasy during the whole stay.

Shinsaibashi Grand Hotel Osaka

9/10Great1550 Reviews
Shinsaibashi/Namba/Yotsubashi Osaka|2.48km from city center
The hotel is a 10-minute walk from the subway station and consists of two buildings: the main building and an annex. The rooms aren't huge, but they're a good size for hotels in the same price range. They offer 24-hour hot water, coffee, drinks, and a microwave for heating food, which is great. Free luggage storage is also available. There's a Chinese-speaking staff member at the front desk, so communication was seamless. Breakfast was decent too. The only downside, if I had to pick one, was the constant stream of tour groups. It's also just a 5-minute walk from the main shopping street in Shinsaibashi.

Osaka Station/Umeda/Yodoyabashi/Hommachi Osaka|0.49km from city center
The room was really cozy. The location is quite convenient, right between Kitahama and Yodoyabashi, making it easy to get to Umeda and Shinsaibashi. It seems to be more of an office area, so it's very quiet at night. There were quite a few foreigners staying there. There's a public spa area on the first floor. I really liked the overall decor, and the service was good too. Recommended!

I booked the solo room with bath. Definitely exceeded my expectation. The hotel is close to the station to and from the airport and also close to the red subway line. Also you can hear the train passing but not a deal breakder for me since I don’t mind the noise outside. Would stay again if I’m on a budget.

This stay really exceeded my expectations! The location is absolutely fantastic – right outside Namba Subway Exit 6, and just a short walk to Takashimaya and Nankai Namba Station. 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.

Sotetsu Fresa Inn Kitahama

9.3/10Great1015 Reviews
Osaka Station/Umeda/Yodoyabashi/Hommachi Osaka|0.5km from city center
The main advantage of Sotetsu Hotels is the price. The facilities are very complete, with basic cosmetics like makeup remover and moisturizer available for self-service, and there's also a microwave. The room is indeed small, you can't fully open a 28-inch suitcase, but it's not too cramped for one person, and the space is quite well-arranged. For some reason, it was a bit noisy at night, so if you're a light sleeper, you might want to reconsider.
