One of the reasons why we love Japan is because of Osaka's Universal Studios Japan! With exciting rides, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and more, it's not hard to see why it's so popular with travellers ?

For your future trip to Japan, this is one spot that you have to add to your list.

The ride is housed in a reconstructed Bowser's Castle and you'll be able to experience augmented reality (AR) technology, projection mapping and other special effects. Definitely an adrenaline-pumping adventure with a twist ?
Other rides that you can expect are Yoshi's Adventure and Princess Peach's Castle. Universal Studios Japan has also put up this video on their website to give you a sneak peek of what the Super Nintendo World would be like:
When you visit the Super Nintendo World in future, you'll also need to get an "Area Timed Entry Ticket" or an "Area Timed Entry Ticket: Advance Booking".
