Universal Studios Osaka Japan

[rockysam382]

Hey guys! I'll be in Tokyo for about 10 days or so in October, with 4 days being spent at Tokyo Disney Resort only. Been thinking should I do a side trip to Universal Studios in Osaka while I am in the country? Is travel to Osaka much of a hassle from Tokyo itself? Also any time spent in Osaka will significantly reduce the time I have left to spend exploring the city of Tokyo itself so it's honestly not an easy decision for me to make? Would love to hear some advice from those who have been there and thanks in advance!

If you weren't planning on leaving Tokyo it's probably not worth it on this trip. You'll have to buy a somewhat expensive train or plane ticket to get down there and you can't do it as a day trip, so you'll have to overnight.

Thanks for the reply Elissa!

 

Argh dang! Well guess that gives me another reason to come back to Japan huh? You guys think Fuji-Q's a safe bet? I am really afraid of getting there only to find all the coasters have been closed due to foul weather or something. What other parks in Tokyo are worth a visit? Hmm.

Head out to FujiQ as at least it's local to Tokyo. In the Tokyo area I would also check out Yomiuriland, Tobu Zoo, Yokohama Cosmoworld for sure.

Thanks for the advice! Kinda bummed that I will not be able to make it to Universal Studios in Osaka this time round but at least the 4 days spent in Tokyo Disney Resort will make the trip worthwhile on it's own?

 

Speaking of TDR it's gonna be smack in the middle of Halloween when I get there so what advice do you have for doing as much in a day as possible at Disneyland or DisneySea?
