Conclusion: do they compete? What are the differences? What are the possibilities for Studio Tour Tokyo?

Often in other companies' media, news websites and blogs.USJ's Harry Potter Area.With,WB (Warner Bros.) Harry Potter Studio Tour Tokyo (former site of Toshimaen)andcompetitionI thought you might do that? It is written that. Will they really compete? Certainly, in terms of the satisfaction of enjoying the world of Harry Potter, some content and satisfaction levels may compete. However, most content and satisfaction levels will not compete.This is because the perspectives from which we see and the content we experience are completely different.For example, Disneyland and DisneySea and the Ghibli Museum at Mitaka no Mori Ghibli (where you can enjoy being in the position of the creator) andGhibli Park in Aichi (enter and enjoy the world of Ghibli), 'The House of Satsuki and May'.and ... and'The Earth Shop' in 'Ears to the Ground'.The difference between USJ and WB Studio Tour is not competition, but synergy, which is expected to be more exciting. Especially, it will be able to attract not only Harriotta fans in Japan, but also Harriotta fanatics from all over Asia to Tokyo and Osaka♪ If the Studio Tour Tokyo has many original Tokyo-only contents that are not exhibited in London, it can become a facility that attracts guests from all over the world, including fans from the original UK. There is a possibility...
How about.Warner Bros' Harry Potter Studio Tour.andHarry Potter Area at Universal Studios Japan.Did you understand the difference between the two?
Harry Potter fans (or Potterheads, if you're overseas) will find both very enjoyable and fun. It is full of exciting, fascinating and fascinating content that allows you to experience the wizarding world of Harry Potter from different perspectives... and it will also be a great place to visit in the near future as it tours the world.New Harry Potter Exhibition (New Harry Potter Exhibition).A third content, called "The Wizarding World in Japan", will also be added to the list.

Other comparison items may be added at any time. If you point out any inadequacies in the content, we will change them at any time.

The USJ Harry Potter Area is a theme park, whereas the WB Studio Tour (former site of Toshimaen) is not a theme park.
