Osaka - Universal Studios, Harry Potter here we come

Whole family came to Japan and together we took a Saturday in Universal Studios. It was spring break for Japanese kids + Sakura season when so many travel. Result? Park was SO packed with people. We luckily had some fast passes and ran into the place early morning to make some of the rides. Harry Potter Hogwarts is always as nice to see and Hogsmeade.


Disney might be the happiest place on earth but this is one of the coolest 
USJ! Here we come! 
If not the best action movie ever made
 Not really a great ride but my favourite superhero 
 Had some extra fast passes to use for The Minions. There was a 210 minute long line to this ride! Wait all that time for max of 5 minute 3 d animation with moving chairs. Characters really are popular in Japan. 
 Casual warning
 Going to learn some magic to Hogwarts 
 Hi Dumbeldore 
 Shopping at Hogsmead
 Claimed to be vanilla but a pretty tasteless shake. Looks better than taste at least 
 Marty McFly! 
 Cookies being baked 
 Hogwarts in reflection 
 This a crazy ride! So fast roller coaster! The Flying Dinosaur is a must. You want a fast pass for this one, normally 2 hours or more line 
 Cheers, some Butterbeer? 
 Boarding at gate 9 and 3/4 soon 
 We weren't the only ones wanting to learn magic 
 Caught a fish! 
A walk around Dotombori, a busy restaurant and bar area around the clock. 
Some really fine BBQ in the evening!
