Universal Studios Japan now offers not just express passes for rides but also “fast entry” into the park. By wearing a designated wristband, you can enter the park faster than regular guests and skip the lines for popular attractions like the Flying Dinosaur and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter right now.

Universal Studios Japan has launched the “Harukas VIP Lane” starting today. Taiwanese travelers, whether traveling independently or in groups, can use the exclusive VIP lane by purchasing in advance through designated travel agencies.

▲ To use the exclusive fast-entry lane, you must wear the designated wristband (as shown above).

Universal Studios Japan explained that during regular opening hours, general visitors must scan their tickets one by one at the entrance gate before entering. A delay of a few seconds or even minutes could determine how long you wait in line for an attraction.Visitors using the “Harukas VIP Lane” will wear special wristbands for easy identification by staff. Before the park opens, they will have their tickets pre-checked and be guided into the lane. Once the park officially opens, they can enter directly.。

The “Harukas VIP Lane” is sold only overseas as part of a package. The contents vary depending on whether you’re traveling independently or in a group. For independent travelers, purchasing the Harukas VIP Lane package includes one fast-pass wristband and one ticket to the Abeno Harukas Observatory, but the Universal Studios Japan ticket must be purchased separately.

For group travelers, the package includes the theme park ticket, the Harukas VIP Lane fast-entry wristband, one ticket to the Abeno Harukas Observatory, and a 2,000-yen discount coupon for Kintetsu Department Store. Currently, the “Harukas VIP Lane” is available in Taiwan through travel agencies including Cola Tour, Lion Travel, and Sanfo Travel (Sanfo only offers group tickets).
