Have you ever wondered why Universal Studios Japan is so popular?

At first, I didn't quite understand why someone from the States would want to fly all the way across the ocean to visit Universal Studios Japan.

I had initially assumed that the experience would be pretty identical to the Universal Studios parks in Hollywood and Orlando, but I did soon realize that my assumptions were wrong.

The unique attractions and cultural influences really set them apart.

In 2023, it was ranked as the third most visited theme park in the entire world while also holding the title of the most visited theme park in all of Asia.

Here's what makes Universal Studios Japan so unique and popular.

Japan is widely known around the world for its vibrant and diverse anime culture, so it only makes perfect sense that they have decided to incorporate various popular anime elements into the park.

The anime attractions at the park change regularly.

At the time of our visit, the temporary theme attraction that had taken the spotlight was Chainsaw Man, and they seriously went all in with the immersive experience.

Crystal, who is obsessed with Chainsaw Man, was an absolute heaven.

We rode the Hollywood Dream Roller Coaster, which featured Chainsaw Man's theme song, experienced the intense adventure of Chainsaw Man: The Chaos 4-D,

and even indulged in a treat known as Chainsaw Man Choritos, which was a sweet bold orange flavored twist on traditional churros.

And to top it off, a huge Chainsaw Man merchandise shop offered an extensive range of exclusive items.

Park goers truly get an incredible opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the vibrant world of anime.

Super Nintendo World opened its doors in 2021, so it's still fairly new.

Previously, USJ was the only location that featured this theme park, but in 2023, Universal Studios Hollywood joined the fun by opening its very own Super Nintendo World.

However, Japan's version is significantly larger in scale, featuring an additional ride, as well as a lot more interactive elements that engage visitors in unique ways.

So basically, USJ offers visitors a more immersive and captivating experience compared to its counterparts.

Apparently, Japan's USJ also has a slightly wider selection of exclusive merchandise that includes unique collectibles, along with a variety of plush character headbands that showcase beloved characters.

Without a doubt, the most beloved Sanrio character in the world is Hello Kitty, so it's no surprise that USJ featured a huge store dedicated entirely to her.

This charming store offers an extensive and complete lineup of Hello Kitty merchandise.

That's what makes Universal Studios Japan so popular.
