Pickup points and meeting tips
- JR Universal City Station on the Yumesaki Line is next to Universal CityWalk and the park entrance.
- Several partner hotels are clustered around Universal City; these are easy morning pickup points.
- For departures from the park at closing time, agree in advance on the tour-bus area and a fixed time, as exits are very crowded.
Vehicle access
The park area has dedicated parking for tour coaches and private cars. All vehicle sizes are suitable. Expect heavy traffic around opening and closing times and on event nights.
Tickets are not included; confirm park bus facilities and booking requirements.
Luggage
Large luggage cannot be brought into the park. Use the vehicle for bags on transfer days, or leave them at your hotel; coin lockers exist but space is limited for groups.
