The quick pass is great. You don’t have to spend too much time queuing. You can buy it in Klook in advance and just swipe the code. It’s very convenient. It really takes two months in advance to choose a good time period😊

Klook is super convenient to buy tickets. The interface is very clear to use. You can just swipe the code to pass the test. The system will also remind you of the departure time.

It is strongly recommended that everyone book tickets before entering the park. Taking me as an example, I used it on the opening day of Dong Qigang Park on December 11. I queued up at 6:30 in the morning and the park opened early at 7:15, so I could enjoy the park. Qigang Yeah🎉🎉🎉🎉

if you’re staying in Namba this is the best transfer to visit USJ! We are traveling with kids and super easy for us instead of taking the metro. The bus is on time. You can bring your stroller. Follow us for more detailed reviews and photos @𝗠𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗬𝗖𝗛𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗭𝗬

The scale is different. It's detailed and alive. I can't help but applaud. Luckily, I got a ticket to Mario World early so I was able to get in as soon as I got there. Harry Potter, which I stopped by in the evening, was the best ride of my life. It was worth the money.

This Osaka Soranii Onsen is well worth visiting. It has a large space inside and is divided into outdoor area, game area and hot spring bathing area. The restaurant is also very cheap.
