Universal Studio Japan

6th May 2019

Universal on rainy day anyone?

On 1st May I went to Universal Studio Japan so this place is in Osaka meanwhile I'm living in Tokyo, so I have to take a bus for about 7 or 8 hours to go to Osaka. I went from Tokyo at 23.30 JST and arrived around 7.30 JST. I went with my senpai Novena, actually this is like a miracle because all my friends in the same program are already going to a long trip to Kyoto-Osaka-Nara-Hiroshima in Spring break so they are impossible want to go again. Then in the darkness of miserable my senpai told me that she wanted to go there. OMG YASS PLEASE.

Since it was a holiday for a holiday golden week in Japan, so basically golden week is like a compilation of many holidays in one week strike (but because Japan is celebrating new era from Heisei to Reiwa and change the emperor, they make it 10 days strike, a.k.a WONDERFULL)

Actually I'm not a big fan of an amusement park, I didn't go there for their roller coaster since I have high issues, I simply want to go to USJ because they have The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. That's it. haha.

Universal Studio Japan is one of 4 theme parks under USJ Co., Ltd., which is wholly owned by NBCUniversal (as of 2017). Other theme parks are in Los Angeles, Florida, and Singapore. But for Harry Potter World you only can find in Los Angeles, Florida and Osaka, Japan, because I might be wont go to Hollywood so my chance is only in Japan. Before I tell you what inside the Harry Potter things I want to tell about the other first. So this is my second time to go to amusement park (if you count "sekaten" it'll be three then) first is in Dufan, I clearly remember that I avoided to ride many things, I remember I went to safe places like Istana Boneka, Niagara, and small roller coaster with caterpillar shape and I was screaming like hell. Shame.

Universal Studio Japan is sooo wide okay, it is 54 Ha based on Wikipedia. This place is so wonderful and colorful (literally), there are many alive characters in the street and every side of the place is artistic. Makes me want to take a photo every corner of the streets and buildings. But when I went there it was rainy, not really hard but it enough to annoy me, since I had to handle my phone and my umbrella. Okay here are some photos that I took:

the view after the main gate

who loves hello kitty

Minions was quite famous here, oh this is inside the gift shop. I dont buy anything since they are the way expensive for me. Like the cheapest things was a keychain and its around 800 yen. So what do you think?

Water World in rainy day brrr was so cold. I watched a vlog last week and I found this in Singapore too.

I can say our prime destination was Harry Potter, besides that it was just complimentary like we went to Water World it was a performance by some man which include water, fire and high voices and sound. After finished from Water World we went to Harry Potter. Before you can enter the area you have to get the ticket to arrange for you when you come. After that, you can enter this magical world. Here are some pictures.

Welcome to Hogsmade, may I screm?

FYI that was not real snow

yeeea hogwarts express here

And this is the most beautifull among the others, I just wondering how they make it.

You know what seeing all these things in front of my eyes was just make me questioning how could J.K Rowling have all of this thought in her head and make her own world? It just makes me amazed by the power of human imagination. Well, this castle was so crowded and it takes some time to go inside. There were two ways, first was just go around the castle and second was go to forbidden forest and include riding a mini roller coaster. But we chose just to go inside the castle. Don't judge me.

You know this? This one is to count the point every home scholl in Hogwarts, I guess it was from its 1st movie when Gryfindor win.

merlin?

Cool, but it cant moving up

Butterbeer!! but no beer

This is some photos from the gift shop, I just bought a Gryfindor keychain for my friend Rika since I know she will like it. Hahaha

it read you'll die soon (or later).

LOL they have this book too

Okay this is outside again....

It actually can move (and scream).

It read HAVE YOU SEEN THIS WIZARD, sorry my bad. And he is Sirius Black.

They also have small shop like this but I dont know what it is

Ron's Father's Car very iconic

After that we just walked around from one gift shop to another shop haha. Actually I'm feeling tired after went outside Harry Potter area, maybe I'm but I just can't fell it inside because I was too happy.

Here is the highest and the largest roller coaster in this area, its in Jurasic Park. Oh they also sell some iconic food like 'turkey-fried-leg' for just 500 yen.
