Universal Nights🌙

Osaka’s top thrill pick? Definitely Universal Studios Japan! 🎢🌌 The night scene rocks—think glowing purple globe and iconic Universal logo lighting up the crowd. If you want movie magic, high-energy rides, and a selfie-worthy landscape (yes, there are even deer sculptures for bonus wild vibes after dark), this is THE spot. Must-Visit: Universal Studios Japan Address: 2 Chome-1-33 Sakurajima, Konohana Ward, Osaka, 554-0031, Japan Admission: ¥8,400 (approx. $55, check latest pricing on trip.com) Opening hours: Usually 8:30–21:00 but double-check as they change daily, especially with events! Insider tip: Go late afternoon—ride lines chill out and the park seriously glows at night. Don’t miss the Minion Park energy or the epic Harry Potter zone (wands and butterbeer, anyone?). For night owls, the park’s neon scenery is epic for photos—bring a good camera! Getting there: Hop on the JR Yumesaki Line to Universal City Station, and you’re basically at the gates in minutes. No need for taxis or maps! Foodie recs: Try the park-only snacks—Mel’s Drive-In for burger nostalgia, or cute Minion cream puffs for Insta points. Hydrate at the water stations and save on overpriced drinks! Osaka tips: Bring cash for merch; some food carts don’t take credit. Early December to mid-January is chilly at night, so layer up. #universalosaka #japanthemeparks #osakainspo #traveltips #tripdotcom
