“The world’s best summer vacation!”

Recently ranked the world’s “most enjoyable group destination” * in a survey of overnight guests, Universal Studios Japan is proud to announce its latest series of world-premiere, not to mention world-class, summer attractions and events. Packed with the kind of thrills and excitement you can only get at Universal Studios Japan, the “world’s best summer vacation” is waiting for you right here!
 Just in time for summer, we’ve transformed the world’s hottest attraction into a 3D spectacle not to be missed. Starting May 21, 2015, you can immerse yourself in Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey like never before, in the world’s first and only 3D presentation of the blockbuster ride. This summer also marks the return of two enormously popular live attractions: One Piece Premier Summer and Biohazard: The Real 3, both updated with incredible new features to give you a cutting-edge theme park experience. It’s all about providing extraordinary entertainment for guests of all ages.
 The park also boasts a brand-new attraction this summer with Yo-kai Watch: The Real. And since it wouldn’t be summer without our famous Water Surprise Parties, we’ve decided to make a splash and turn them into the wettest parties in the history of the park. With our new Universal Wonderland just completed this spring, there’s truly something to make everyone’s summer unforgettable!

Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey

The Wizarding World of Harry Pottercontinues to captivate visitors from around the world, bringing the magic of Harry Potter to life in astonishing detail.
 Now in its second year, it’s sure to make an even bigger impression, especially since we’ve transformed Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey into a full-blown 3D attraction—the world’s first and only 3D version of the blockbuster ride. Marvel as dragons leap out of the screen toward you; reach out as a Golden Snitch comes tantalizingly close, close enough to touch. It’s all there right before your eyes. The magic really is stronger this year—come feel it for yourself!

We’ve got all-new merchandise this summer, including Quidditch robes! 

One of the most impressive 3D scenes in Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey is a Quidditch match—the most popular sport in the wizarding world. If you’ve ever wanted a robe like the ones worn by the Hogwarts students, this summer is your chance. Delve deeper into the world of magic with your own Quidditch robe—put it on and experience what it feels like to go on a broomstick ride, just like in the movies. Then stop by Ollivanders Shop for a selection of popular wands, including replicas of those used in the films. See what it’s like to walk around as your favorite character in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter—it’s even more magical the second time around.

 While you’re here, don’t forget to stop by the famous Honeydukes sweetshop, with its shelves upon shelves of colorful candy. Here you can find the Cauldron Cake Harry bought aboard the Hogwarts Express in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, not to mention Drooble’s Best Blowing Gum, the bluebell-colored chewing gum whose bubbles float around the room for days. Of course, there’s also Shock-o-Choc, the incredibly spicy chocolate Harry eats in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. If it’s strange, magical candy you want, only one shop will do.

 For a tasty drink, try the best-selling beverage that sold its millionth cup only 102 days after the grand opening. Of course we’re talking about Butterbeer, the strange brew that is the toast of the wizarding world. Quench your thirst this summer with the season-limited Frozen Butterbeer while you check out all the other amazing food and souvenirs we’ve brought straight from the books and movies to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
