 Hey friends today, we are hanging out in Universal Studios Japan, and I am so excited I've always wanted to come visit this park ever since I heard they have the Jaws ride that used to be at Universal Studios Orlando And today is the day we traveled from Tokyo We took a two-hour bullet train down to Osaka, and I am so excited to share all of my experiences with you So we're gonna ride some rides eat some food and have a beautiful Universal Studios Japan kind of day any who's Let's go do this It's still blowing my mind the fact that we are in Osaka, and we just came from Tokyo And this is gonna be my third Universal Studios. I've ever been to of course Universal Studios Orlando Universal Studios Florida And now Universal Studios Japan and look at my hotel here in Osaka They have a nice little Zen garden right like on the 16th floor like we are in the middle of the city, and I love it I was so excited to wear my Jaws Roosevelt shirt because we're gonna ride Jaws today But I need to have a hoodie on because it is so cold like it is like I think probably 32 degrees out right now And there's a lot of wind and I wasn't expecting that I thought Japan was hot You know, but I guess this is the season so be aware if you ever come in March might be a little bit cold We have made it to Universal Studios Japan Look at this Wow, I am so excited Super Nintendo World. This is gonna be great Jaws has always been one of my all-time favorite movies in fact growing up I used to love watching the wizard with Fred Savage and the part where him and his brother ran away to Universal Studios And they went and broke King Kong and stuff like that growing up. That was my dream believe it or not I was a Universal Studios like kind of fan before I was a Disney fan it was a dream to ride Jaws of mine and Now it's no longer in Orlando, but we get to do it here in Japan, and I am so excited Just like Tokyo Disneyland they have like their main front area Covered look at that. We're walking in the park. Holy moly. There are a lot of people here today. Oh Oh, I am so excited Look at Woody Woodpecker just walking around Yo, I Love that It's also awesome that it's covered because then the characters can kind of gather here. I Don't even know who that is I think that's from us a sing maybe Wow guys, which way should we go? Oh, here's a little map We've got the the Wizarding World of Harry Potter to the right Super Nintendo World Central Park Where's amity? Oh They have water world here. Oh, yeah Jaws. All right. There it is. I think we're headed to Jaws, baby We're headed to Jaws. I Think the Jurassic Park is sadly closed the Jurassic Park ride So they do have like a pterodon flyers roller coaster and we should ride that because that looks amazing But amity first stop If you take a quick look at the wait times You have like the smaller rides for kids like Elmo and Hello Kitty's cupcake dream at 15-20 minute waits, but then you get into like Jaws 55 Elmo's bubble bubble 75 Elmo's go-go skateboard 65 Yoshi's adventure 75 Snoopy 85 Hollywood dream 120 Mario Kart 110 this big with me 110 the flying dinosaur 140 flight of Hippogriff the flight of Hippogriff is 160 minute wait same thing with the forbidden journey That is crazy. Oh my lord. The Hollywood dream is a 250 minute wait. Look at that That's that right there 250 minutes Holy moly That's two rides two rides is almost a whole time. The park is open It looks like some of the rides you can film on and some of the rides you can't film on Probably can't film on that ride But any of the rides that I can't film on I'll try to find some POV footage to put in for you guys So you can see what the ride is like and other than that I mean, we're just gonna ride as many rides as we could today and then probably go out and explore Osaka afterwards. I Would love to go ride that look at that Mel's driving that goes front and back front and back Yeah, you get the pick between going like the regular way or backwards and they call it the backdrop The backdrop is I like a 250 minute wait Here at Universal Studios Japan mostly they have a lot of great 4d anime like shows and the wait times for those are super long It's a very popular Like kind of show here at Universal Studios Japan But a couple of rides are closed Sadly Jurassic Park the ride and Spider-Man are closed So we're gonna at least do a couple of rides that I've been like excited for but I really wish we could have done those Two versions because I want to see if they're different We have made it to Amity Island. Look at this. Look at Jaws there, and I think that's the entrance right behind Wow I'm definitely gonna get myself a Jaws churro Wow, I can't believe it guys. You have no idea how much this means to me I'm pretty sure we have an express pass for this because the wait time right now is 75 minutes Oh my lord, it's right there guys It's right there Look at how awesome Look at the original vhs is here Jaws one Jaws two Jaws three So Jaws was everything I've ever wanted it to be I was Honestly in tears before and afterwards like it means that much to me And I'm so happy that I got to ride it with Steve and Scotty They're like brothers to me and it's like, you know, it just makes me happy. It makes me really really happy Honestly, it was a dream come true Now that we can officially say we got to ride Jaws I think it's time to get something to eat maybe here at Amity landing Look at these little chicken nugget like Jaws said here I love it. It's like a little meal comes with chicken nuggets and fries and then I want the Jaws cake And then some kind of like a hoagie there might be a chicken tender sandwich I'd love it over here. I think maybe we should play some boardwalk games over there too. I want to win you a shark Look at that plate. That's too cool Thank you Look at my meal. I am obsessed First for dessert we got a cream soda like swiss roll and then we've got a little like Pack here. It's like fried chicken french fries pancakes And then shark nuggets like actual shark nuggets and we're sitting right outside the ride. Look at that This is Jaws. How amazing is that and we're about to eat shark And this is crazy the shark didn't eat me. So I'm gonna eat the shark I also love how I have a little shark pancake. Look at that. And then this is another dessert that came with it I think it's like I don't know. It's like chum in the water I don't know. It's like jello, but we'll try it. But first I think I'm gonna dive in To the shark nuggets. These are literally Shark meat nuggets shark meat nuggets Like what is real life like sitting here at universal studios japan Outside of jaws wearing a jaws Roosevelt shark about to eat a jaws kids meal That has shark chicken or shark nuggets. I want to say shark chicken nuggets. Well, it's just shark nuggets I don't even know how I got here, but i'm happy. I'm able to share my experiences with you. So Here's to the first time trying shark Oh Tastes like a chicken nugget to me Just a little Fishier Yo, yo these pigeons they're trying to get my shark nuggets Yo back up on what is wrong with that pigeon? He's got red eyes I'm not a fan of the shark nuggets and it's crazy that the shark nuggets are a kids meal here And now i'm gonna try into the chicken and pancakes. This is like the regular entree, but look at that chicken Doesn't that look so good? I bet you it's got a nice little crunch to it That's good So far I have to say I love that chicken. It's probably the best chicken I've had in japan. Yo these This guy is scaring me. I'm not afraid of the sharks. I'm afraid of the pigeons And now I gotta get into this cream soda Swiss roll here little cream soda swiss rail. Don't mind if I do Don't mind if I do To jaws That's good solid now. We want to try the little chum little jello chum I don't hate it. I kind of like it. I really like that cream soda swiss roll going in for another bite Enough of the shark meat business. I think we're gonna move along, but I did like the chicken I love the fries. I love the pancake. I love the swiss roll and I love the jello So who can complain now? I think we're gonna go ride some more rides and I want to see a show or two Or maybe a parade It is super busy over here in Jurassic Park world But they do got a black pepper pork rib over there That sounds pretty good. If I didn't just eat some shark nuggets, I probably would try it We're gonna make our way into the super nintendo world now And I was excited to see that they have a water world attraction Looks like the next showtime is at 1 p.m. Maybe we'll try to catch that It's so interesting. All you gotta do is follow the hats to get to a super nintendo world I feel like I want to get one I do. I'm gonna get a toad one or yoshi hat. Yo, what kind of hat would you get yoshi super mario? Yoshi super mario if they have a lemmy a little lemmy I think we're gonna have to pump the brakes on super nintendo world because we got the uh, you have to get like Reservations and we got an 8 p.m. Reservation to go ride the rides inside But we thought we would still be able to get into the land like get in the land But that's not the case So we have to wait till 8 p.m. Tonight just to get into the land and then we can ride the ride and that is like Like nine hours from now and uh, I'm pretty sure it's uh snowing right now It's snowing in Osaka. I know it was supposed to snow in tokyo, but it's getting really cold out So maybe we might have to leave and then come back. I don't know. I think I'm just gonna go with the flow You know what I mean? I'm just happy to be here. If I don't get into the tender world. I'm okay with that I mean I'm in universal studios japan Look how awesome those balloons are Oh, I love it And now it looks like the minions are actually out about walking around here I just saw a minion. Oh, there he is There. Oh, there's a couple of them a couple two three minions here a couple two three four minions over here Uh, look at that Honestly, I just realized that most of the attractions have to be now probably a higher wait time Because Jurassic park spider-man's closed and you need prior reservations to get in these two lands So if you just come to universal buy a day ticket you technically can only ride jaws Uh, the two roller coasters and then the shows and that's the only thing open Oh in minin mayhem unless you have advanced reservations for super nintendo world and the wizarding world So kind of like a little pickle a little pickle We're gonna make our way down towards new york. I bet you they got a finnigans here I mean, uh universal park without finnigans. Uh, I don't even know what that is gonna be like. Oh, yeah, there it is finnigans The lines for food here at universal studios japan are definitely some of the longer lines I've seen like just to get into finnigans. It looks like there's probably a 20 25 minute wait You know what I mean? Just to sit down and then if you want like popcorn popcorn's probably the same thing Like I've noticed there's a lot of because they have different flavors of popcorn Look at that. Ah finnigans Finnigans is definitely different here at universal studios japan It's not like a quick service and come in and like grab a beer at the bar You have to sit down and have a nice little cozy booth. Maybe it's a lot bigger too a lot bigger We decided to find a little spot for the parade It looks like it's taking or stepping off in just about 20 minutes And it's so cool because they come around everyone's sitting and then they ask them to stand up and I think it comes out right right over there. So we got kind of a nice little spot here I don't even know what parade it is, but I'm sure it's going to be something cool something to do What character do you think is going to start it off? Uh Shrek Who do you think is going to start it off? Oh, what do you want pecker? Possibly woody. Maybe it's fiona fiona. We didn't have a moment before Never thought I'd see a better parade than magic happens, but let me tell you some This party's got no limit. I love it in the pokemon and that we're out there Now I think it's time we get something to eat. We were thinking about getting some here at city walk But we're in Osaka, you know, I love theme parks. I love universal studios But there's a whole world out there that I want to explore So I think we're gonna leave universal We might come back later to go back into super nintendo world because we have that 8 p.m Return time, but the park closes at 9. So, uh, we'll see how the day goes right now I want to head to Osaka get some food and relax a little A little relax We're grabbing a taxi Oh, I love these little uh shams Look at that. You guys shove gum wrappers in there. I used to do it my dad's right gum wrappers in the ashtray Can you ask him if he can play this party has no limit? This party has no limit We just got back to our hotel and I did a quick outfit change I wanted to swoop into something a little bit more Warmer because it is cold here. So I put on a flannel and we're where are we going? dole Doulton berry Doulton berry Doulton berry Oh, it's pretty fancy. It's just a straight walk down Straight walk down this road here Wow, look, this is actually covered here too They make things a little bit easier When it comes to like rain and weatherproofing here I'm not even sure what we're looking for but when we come across something Are you looking at those kick cats sure in they're good. I get them at Epcot all the time I get them at Epcot all the time This is so crazy. Look at this. It's like if Times Square had a river running through it Like it's pretty. Oh, that's fireman right there. Oh, we are officially in Yeah, this is definitely Times Square This is impressive I would love to go on that boat. I'd like to go on a scenic tour of Osaka I think we're going to get some food Along the water here. Look at that big ferris wheel Yo, wait, that's not the same ferris wheel. That's like a rounder I don't even know what that is guys. What yeah, it's like a ferris you A ferris oval Osaka cheese dog Ah Yo I love it here. I am obsessed. This is really really cool. Especially with the water right here Are we shooting arrows? But if you want to yes, I would love to all right, let's do it. Let's do it Wow, this is cool. This is so One of us has got to get in there You son of a gun or son of an arrow You son of an arrow Oh Yo, this is so good This guy Thank you. I got so I guess when somebody asked me do you have any secret talents? I guess I could say bow and arrow. You are that's a good talent Are those chinese stars? Let's go upstairs. Come on We're not How does it work? Yeah, man. Wow. Wow. Wow This is honestly I love I love it. That's raining just thank you That was so much fun Literally shooting bow and arrows and throwing japanese stars. I didn't think that was on my bucket list for today But i'm glad we did it That's it. That's the spot We found a spot to come get some ramen. Look at it in here This restaurant is called Ichiran And a lot of people have said that it's very very good and there's a lot of social media buzz around it So i'm excited to try it and it's kind of cool how they have this setup where you kind of go in You fill out the paperwork and then they open up the curtains and they just give you the food And uh, I've seen the videos. I'm sure you guys have stumbled upon it like that And uh, yeah, it's gonna be cool to kind of have some really good japanese food while we're here You have to fill up this little paper and it basically gives you a recommended of how you want it I just went medium with everything because I don't know. I'm just gonna take it off the chef's recommendations That's the way It's just about a 35 minute wait You actually pay for everything and order it ahead of time And then you wait to go to your spot and then everything's already done for once you're done You get up in your leave. It's actually really efficient We thought the line was pretty Small, but I think we're going two floors up Also four There we go Thank you You can use these to make requests without speaking. Look at this one I don't know the ordering process Giving my seat for a moment. Oh if you're going to the bathroom, put this over here. Oh, I have mine Oh, yeah Super drive. Cheers Cheers for my super drive roast. Super drive Look at these noodles Oh Atlanta That looks so good I'm gonna try to shake it off a little bit These noodles are the best noodles I've ever had in my life We already ordered more like they have a little slips here that you can Kind of like order for seconds Instead of going back downstairs. It's really convenient. You just Hand it right underneath the little counter there and they bring it right out Very simple very easy Look at this the extra nudes have arrived What do you guys think best food best? It's best food in japan for me so far. Yeah That was absolutely hands down the best food I've had on this whole entire trip.
