Hello, It's Hiro.
Don't you think that the official parking lot of Universal Studios Japan (USJ) is clearly high & too far to the entrance?
The price of the USJ official parking lot as of August, 2021 is
Weekday regular car parking fee, parking lot business hours
Parking fee: 3,100 yen (tax included), parking lot business hours: 8: 30-20: 00
※Please check the website for details as it will change.
I have parked in the official parking lot about 5 times, but it is too far and boring to the entrance of Universal Studios Japan.
It takes 20 minutes on foot, so it's in a state of sickness before you get there.
And it's boring because there is nothing along the way. There is only one vending machine with a high price.
It is the scene of the dragon Ball where Goku of Dragon Ball is running to the king of the world.
The USJ parking lot measures I have taken so far are as follows
- Free for 1 night if you book a USJ official hotel and stay with a parking plan
- Stay at a business hotel in central Osaka, parked in a parking lot such as the nearby Times
- Park in the official parking lot and enjoy on a day trip
Merit
- Within a 5-minute walk to USJ, staying at an official hotel will make you feel better and more enjoyable
- Hotel fee is less than half price compared to official
- Cospa is good because you only have to pay for the parking lot
Demerit
- Hotel charges are too high
- Parking fees are high because none of the hotels in central Osaka have parking lots.
- Tired because it is a day trip, it is far from the official parking lot to the USJ entrance
And this is the ultimate conclusion I've reached, well over 20 times I've been to USJ.
Use the parking lot of Universal CityWalk
Until now, I didn't know that there was a parking lot at Universal CityWalk.
The parking lot here is open 24 hours a day!
Click here for the entrance
You can get out from the side of Lawson in front of the station
Yes, it is directly connected to Universal City Walk, so when you leave the parking lot, it's already Universal City Walk!
Before entering Universal Studios Japan, you want to go to Universal CityWalk and feel better.
If you park in this parking lot, it will come true.
It's a 3-minute walk to Universal Studios Japan, and a 20-minute walk officially, you have to walk on a boring road, but if you use this parking lot, when you leave the parking lot, it's already Universal City Walk!
Also, the exit is in front of Universal City Station (10 seconds on foot), so it's easy to access when you want to go to Osaka Namba or Umeda.
In fact, there is no other parking lot that is more convenient than this.
Note: Due to its popularity, it will be almost full at 10 am
This hotel is also used by hotel users, so even if you go to 1 in the morning, it may be full.
However, there is no other parking lot that is better than the Universal Citywalk parking lot, so be sure to arrive at the same time as it opens.
If you are waiting in the parking lot, the next option is to use the official parking lot, or if you really want to keep the parking lot cost down, you can use the parking lot of AEON Takami store for free. It is also possible to go (with time limit)
Please refer to the link below for the parking lot of AEON Takami store.
The link of AEON, Takami store.
Note 2: There is a discontinuation setting only on weekdays (for holidays and long-term stays, it is better to use others)
The parking lot of Universal CityWalk is closed for 1,500 yen only on weekdays, so be sure to use the official parking lot when you come to USJ on holidays.
Click here for the usage fee of Universal CityWalk Parking Lot
30 minutes all day / 300 yen
8:00-20:00 / Maximum charge 1,500 yen
※Maximum rates do not apply on weekends and holidays
8:00-22:00 / Maximum charge 1,500 yen
Maximum rates do not apply on weekends and holidays
Therefore, when you come to USJ by car from afar on weekdays, it is better to first select the parking lot of Universal CityWalk as the first search candidate.
