on Universal Studios Japan's website.
Hours: Operating calendar from Universal's website
Tickets: Information about tickets, including the Universal Express option to bypass the queues at specific attractions, is available at the USJ website. Advance ticket sales are not available outside Japan.
What's Next? The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - the first outside the original in Orlando - will debut in 2014. The park's new childrens' area - Universal Wonderland - opened in March 2012.
