Not sure, but I don't want to get the express pass in advance first as I don't want to hard commit on a date in case of bad weather.

So I'm trying to see if anyone have experience in purchasing express pass from Lawson.

but you need to factor in that in case the express pass is sold out on the day you wanna go... or sold out even days before your actual date?

I prefer to buy in advance first (I have 2 days to choose only anyway... so heng or suay for bad weather).

By the way, anyone bought Cool Japan Pass 5? I have decided to choose this since it is seasonal.

Anyone went to Japan recently and took those rides from Cool Japan? how was it? can share your experience?

When booking from the Japanese website, from the timetable, how come Detective Conan got 2 slots? Don't understand cuz all in Japanese. First slot is it like a briefing to you to brief you how to play the game? then second slot is you play the game

I just came back from USJ! I was too cheapo to get any express pass though.

As for cool japan rides, i took the Shingeki no Kyojin one, quite short for a 90mins wait. I think the whole thing lasted 15mins or less but it is interesting, my first time.

The evangelion ride whole afternoon wait is 3hrs so i gave up

Shingeki is which one? Walau... I will never queue 3 hours for a ride. Although I think I used to do it. I think max 2 hours for me. Express pass basically is use money to buy time lor... duno should say cheat money or what. lol

Anyway, I wonder those rides for Cool Japan, are they located in another area of USJ? Didnt seem to see it on the map.

If people didnt buy Cool Japan Pass, they can still queue up for the rides ah? just like you did?

and I find it weird why they dun wanna advertise Cool Japan on the English website. like as if they want to cater for Japanese only

There are a few in same place but i think they rotate it, when i went watch Shingeki no Kyojin but there is godzilla maybe showing on other days.

Can still queue up, just longer waiting time loh

Cool Japan section is actually near to the main entrance. Almost missed the Attack of Titans if I didn't make effort to search for it. The giant statue is location behind the 4D building.

I went on weekdays, doesn't matter weekdays weekends, sure a lot people.

My first time to USJ but based on my experience to other attractions (zoo, aquarium, disneyland). Any Day you go also crowded.

The rides have longer queue, especially those new ones.

[madcampus]

1 day is enuff. Go from morning gate open till night gate closing. Unless you want to take every single ride.

hi, im sourcing for a good physical USJ 1 day pass price around $95. JTB was selling for $98, anyone can recommend?

 

[clara03]

I msged him before. He actually told me to only contact him nearer to the actual date.

He said he can only send me the tickets via email 3-4 days before my actual date, and the prices and availability of the tickets are not known at the moment.

Lets say if you are already in Japan, and you contact him few days before the actual date, then he tells you he doesn't have tickets, then **** right? lol

Hi Audrey

Did this seller reply you almost immediately? I see alot reviews saying fast and quick response. However I dropped him a message since yesterday 2pm and dropped another one again this morning but no replies. However this seller seem to be able to give others feedback yesterday night.

Carousell

Just for those interested to know

got my disneysea tickets from a seller on carousell - check choose the seller with the most positive feedback

transfer money to them 2 days before my trip

need to inform them the actual date of going n which disney park u going

suppose to receive the etickets from them 1 or 2 days before, but i PM them to remind them to send me .

abit troublesome to print out the etickets in jap. those convenient shops, need to dl some apps or register online. but once u get that done its pretty easy

got into the disneysea with no issue using the tickets

overall 4/5

value for money since almost half price
but need to remind them juz in case they 4get to send u
n the trouble to print it out in jap

but for me, its pretty gd saving

If you intend to get an express ticket, just be aware that it may be sold out at the ticket booth even during non peak period.

You can always get the hotel front desk to print out the ticket. But there is a nominal charge.
