Universal Studios Japan (ユニバーサル・スタジオ・ジャパン) is a theme park located in Osaka, Japan. Opened on March 31, 2001, it is one of six Universal Studios theme parks worldwide and was the first to open outside the United States.[3] The park is owned and operated by USJ LLC,[4] a wholly owned subsidiary of NBCUniversal.[5] The park is similar in layout to Universal Studios Florida and contains selected attractions from both Universal Orlando and Universal Studios Hollywood, in addition to a small number of unique attractions.

Over 11 million guests visited the park in its opening year, making it the fastest theme park to reach the 10 million guest milestone at the time. In 2023, USJ hosted 16 million visitors, making it the third-most visited theme park in the world behind Magic Kingdom and Disneyland, and the most visited theme park in Asia.[6]

History

In December 1992, Osaka Universal Planning Inc. was established in Minato-ku, Osaka to plan and research for the development and construction of a large-scale theme park in Japan. In February 1996, the master agreement regarding planning, construction and operation of the Universal Studios Japan theme park was concluded with American corporation MCA Inc. Osaka Universal Planning Inc. was also renamed USJ Co., Ltd.[7] Licensing agreements regarding the planning, construction and operation of Universal Studios Japan was concluded with the Universal Group in 1998 and later that year, construction of the theme park officially began.

In July 1999, Universal sealed a marketing deal with 11 major Japanese companies, including All Nippon Airways and Matsushita Electric, to sponsor the park's attractions.[8]

On February 21, 2001, in preparation for the opening of Universal Studios Japan,[9] All Nippon Airways unveiled the Woody Woodpecker-themed Woody Jet, using the Boeing 767-300, for its domestic flights.[10] The next day, Universal Studios Japan held a pre-opening preview.[11]

The park opened on March 31, 2001,[7][3] being the third to be opened by Universal and the first outside the United States, costing US$ 1.7 billion.[3]

The opening of Universal Studios Japan gave a boost in the economy of the Kansai region [12] and has added another 29,000 jobs in the region's construction and tourism-related industries.[13]

Lands and attractions

The park covers 54 hectares (130 acres).[14]

The attractions are spread across eleven different areas.[15] The tenth area, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, opened on 15 July 2014 with its flagship attraction, Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. The area and its attractions were modeled after its previous iterations at Universal Orlando and Universal Studios Hollywood.[16] Its eleventh area, Super Nintendo World, opened after several delays on 18 March 2021.[17]

A host presents them a video, introducing scriptwriter Matsui (played by Rome Kanda), animator Kyoko, colorist Ayaka, and Gōtokuji (played by Shôji Maruoka), the studio's boss. Matsui explains the animation process used in the making of a Woody Woodpecker cartoon. Next, the guests enter the main theater, the Digital Studio, which seated 300 guests. Tetsuya "Yoshi" Yoshikawa (voiced by Toshihiko Seki), an apprentice animation director, is moments away from completing his first cartoon and demonstrating computer animation. Woody (voiced by Azusa Ichiba) somehow escapes from the animation computer, enters the room as a dimensional figure and gleefully wreaks havoc throughout the studio. After the show, guests were escorted into a room with interactive kiosks and large-scale games where they could make their own Woody Woodpecker cartoon.[41][42][43][44][45][40][46][47] Before the show opened in Japan, a US test version was produced to prove the show's concept in 1997.[48] In 2002, the attraction won the Outstanding Achievement Award in the "Attraction" category at the 9th Annual Thea Awards.[49] On June 1, 2016, the attraction was put on an extended hiatus, with an announcement that it would reopen on April 1, 2018.

Incidents and accidents

In November 2004, a 35-year-old woman from Osaka Prefecture suffered nerve damage in her right wrist, affecting the use of two of her fingers. This occurred when her hand got stuck in a safety bar of the E.T. Adventure attraction as an employee pulled it down to secure it.[84]

The Yoshi's Adventure attraction suffered two accidents in late 2021, with a Goomba stack animatronic falling onto the ride during operation on August 12, 2021,[85] and a fire starting in one of the ride's indoor areas on November 23, 2021. This caused everyone to evacuate from the ride and the rest of the park.[86] Neither accidents led to any park guest injuries.

In October 2022, an employee at the amusement park found human bones in shrubbery along a road west of the premises.[87]
