You can purchase tickets (Studio Pass) for Universal Studios Japan (USJ) at a discounted rate exclusively using your smartphone! We’ll explain how to buy and utilize tickets from the popular overseas travel ticket site, KLOOK.
Universal Studios Japan (USJ)Studio Pass
KLOOK
KLOOK is a discount ticket website for theme parks and attractions. It’s quite famous, so many people may have used it for overseas travel.
While it used to be popular for offering discounted tickets for travel outside Japan, recently it has been focusing on promoting domestic travel within Japan by launching various attractive campaigns. Thanks to these promotional efforts, there seem to be fewer people skeptical of KLOOK these days.
However, it’s important to note that KLOOK generally doesn’t offer discounts on tickets for Universal Studios Japan (USJ). Regardless of where you purchase them, USJ tickets are typically sold at the regular price. There have even been rumors suggesting that USJ monitors ticket sales, which makes it seem like they might be enforcing antitrust laws.
While there may not be any price advantage for USJ tickets through KLOOK, it’s still not advisable to purchase tickets at the ticket booth on the day of your visit. It’s because the morning hours at USJ are extremely valuable, and you wouldn’t want to waste time waiting in line at the ticket booth.
While you’re waiting in line for 10 minutes at the ticket booth, you’ll see people who have purchased e-tickets in advance passing by you. Meanwhile, the lines for attractions continue to grow longer and longer.
Therefore, as for USJ, it’s still better to purchase your tickets online in advance rather than at the ticket booth, even if they’re priced the same. Just by doing this, you can potentially ride one, or even two, more attractions on that day, significantly increasing your overall satisfaction.”

While you’re waiting in line at the ticket booth, the lines for attractions inside the park just keep getting longer.
It’s such a waste to spend time waiting in line at the ticket booth. If you’re going to Universal Studios, it’s a no-brainer to purchase your tickets online in advance! I absolutely recommend it.

How to Use KLOOK e-Tickets
The usage of e-tickets is incredibly simple, so you might not even need an explanation…
Just display the ticket on your smartphone screen…
And touch it at the entrance gate.
Even if you wait in the long queue and buy paper tickets…
It’s the same.
Once you’ve used it, you’ll immediately understand how convenient it is.
Even if you wait in line at the ticket booth, there’s the possibility of struggling to communicate with staff members whose English may not be fluent. There are also situations where people who are not used to purchasing tickets are present or families spending a lot of time buying multiple tickets. You might find yourself waiting impatiently in a slow-moving line, watching others breeze through the entrance gate by simply presenting their smartphones. In that moment, you may regret not buying tickets in advance…
Do not waste of your time waiting in line to buy tickets. During that time, the queue for Mario Kart could extend by 30 minutes! 😄
To enjoy USJ efficiently, purchasing tickets in advance is an absolute must.”
