Which Universal Studios Japan ticket should I buy?

Look for the date you’re visiting the theme park to determine which ticket category you need to purchase. For example, if you’re planning to visit on 23 Dec 2022, the calendar indicates ‘B’, hence you need to purchase ’1 Day Studio Pass B’ to enter the park on that day.

Common FAQs

Q: What if I can’t visit Universal Studios Japan on the date I chose?

A: That's okay! Just make sure to visit on any date that's specific to the price calendar of your purchased Studio Pass type. Your Studio Pass is valid for 3 months from your booking date.

Q: I don’t know which ticket category to purchase because the date I want to visit isn’t on the calendar.

A: If the dates that you’re planning to visit aren’t released yet, you can check back again another time. The Universal Studios Japan price calendar will be updated on the first day of every month.

Q: If I buy the most expensive ticket, can I use it on any day?

A: You may choose to visit the park only on days with the same price tier as your chosen package. So, even if you have the most expensive ticket (Studio Pass C), you still cannot visit the park on days under studio passes ‘A’ or ‘B’.
