Legoland Japan
LEGOLAND Japan opened in 2017 in Nagoya, on a waterfront site in the Minato ward. It's smaller than the American and European LEGOLANDs but packs the full experience into a compact footprint: The Dragon coaster through LEGO Castle, a Submarine Adventure, and a MINILAND showcasing Japanese cities in LEGO brick. A SEA LIFE aquarium sits next door as a separate attraction.
Japanese school holidays (Golden Week, summer break, Obon) bring major crowds to LEGOLAND Japan, with queue times on headline attractions stretching over an hour. Weekdays outside those windows are very pleasant. Check live queue times before committing to long waits, and use our crowd calendar to plan around Japan's clustered holiday periods.

Universal Studios Japan opened in Osaka in 2001 and is now one of the busiest theme parks in the world. Super Nintendo World is the headline land, with Mario Kart: Koopa's Challenge and the Donkey Kong Country expansion's Mine Cart Madness, and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter has Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey and Flight of the Hippogriff. Hollywood Dream - The Ride, The Flying Dinosaur and JAWS round out the big rides, and the park runs a long programme of Japanese anime and game tie-ins through the year.
Waits here are some of the longest anywhere: Super Nintendo World rides regularly pass two hours on weekends. Japanese holidays such as Golden Week, the summer Obon break and the New Year are the times to avoid, and Halloween Horror Nights packs the autumn evenings. Weekdays from mid-January to early March are usually the quietest. Check the live queue times before you go and use the crowd calendar to pick a weekday.
