Express Pass is paid for and the price goes up or down depending on the working day. During peak season, the price is higher and during off-peak periods, the price is lower. The Express Pass is a great way to guarantee entry to the Harry Potter area, even during the busiest season.
Express Pass 7 (direct in. The screen on your phone is the pass).
Express Pass 5 (pre-issued paper ticket)
Not only does it guarantee entry to the Harry Potter Area, but it also comes with the right to priority rides on the attractions, so it is recommended for those who can financially afford it! You can purchase tickets in advance or, if there are stock slots available on the day, you can also purchase them on the day. (On the day, the tickets will be electronic tickets (direct-in), which can be purchased using a smartphone or other device.)
Note that once you leave the Harry Potter Area when it is restricted, you will not be able to re-enter. Once you enter, you can stay in the Harry Potter Area for as long as you like until closing time. When the area is not crowded, you can enter without a confirmed or numbered ticket.
Early Park Inn is only offered to guests of official USJ hotels on JTB travel tours.
Early Park-in is a system that allows priority entry to USJ 15 minutes before the park's opening time. Early Park-in rights are only offered by the travel association JTB in its travel tour packages.
There is a dedicated gate for Early Park Inn users, allowing them to park in first while general guests queue up waiting for the doors to open (laughs).
USJ Early Park Inn Points of Interest
Early Park Inn visitors are also admitted in the order in which they queued up. If there are many official hotel guests, it will take longer to enter the park. Also, USJ often opens earlier than its published opening time. Be sure to ask at your hotel for the Early Park-in time for the following day!
