Reviews from Real Guests:

Trip.com User: Today me and my family arrived in Osaka in Japan. It was awesome to be in a new city! We checked-in and had a nice sleep for tomorrow’s great adventure. The next day, we had our trip to The Universal Studio. It was very crowded and we had to wait for a really long time. After we went inside, we started to have fun. The roller coasters were exciting but it seemed scaring to me. It rolled and twisted like a enormous dragon fling over the sky. I was little then so I was scared to death. Don’t mind though, it was 7excellent. For another thing to say, was the Hogwarts Castle. It was huge and amazing! We quickly went inside for the games. It was a ride in the castle and you could see the Harry Potter’s scene inside as if you were in the story! After the wonderful ride, we went in a store full of the “Harry Potter” things, I loved those wands and the Hogwarts school uniform! The roller coasters worth a try! The day ended quickly, but I loved it though it’s a little bit bored during the waiting time. In the afternoon, we went back to the hotel. We were very tired so we had a sleep. After the sleep, it was about 8 o’clock, so we went to the underground market, hunting for food. We found some dumplings there. The Chinese food was so delicious! We were so surprised at the Chinese food! We also ate sushi, the local food in Japan. Through the all day’s trip, we were satisfied. It was a fabulous day! A little suggests: 1.If you go there on summer, remember to take umbrellas and fans, you will be really hot waiting for an hour. 2.Make your plans before going. For the truth, you can’t play as much play equipment as you think. Welcome for the questions, I’m looking forward to answer them.

Trip.com User: Incredible experience at Universal! During last winter vacation, my family and I went to the Universal for the first time in Osaka, Japan. And I promise this place is definitely the best place I have ever visited in my life! The Universal is entirely a theme paradise! It includes all the classic films theme projects and the entertainment facilities. For example, there are Harry Potter, Spider man and the Minions which children like. There are also special shops where people can buy souvenirs, I bought a Spider man shirt which is quite cool. However, although I have tried most of the topics, personally I would say the most exciting and spectacular one is certainly the Jurassic Park. That’s because inside the Jurassic Park, there is the most frightening and stimulating roller coaster------the Pterosaur Ride, which attracts millions of visitors. But only the bravest people dare to try.While I was waiting for the ride, I can hear people screaming from the sky, I felt really scared and hesitated. But at last, I determined to give it a try. Finally, it was my turn. The “Pterosaur” rose up in a sudden and then flash through the air, I felt I was flying, It was so cool! When I left , I felt really proud of myself and I’m sure this will never be the last time! To sum up, this was a significant and amazing experience for me and I highly recommend this place to everyone who likes adventure and Hollywood films. I’m sure you will never be disappointed! Tip: the Universal in Osaka, Japan is the only Universal in the world which has the Hogwarts College of Witchcraft and Magic from the film “Harry Potter “, Harry Potter fans never miss!
