Is Universal Studios Japan fast pass worth it?

The most common (and key) question about the Express Pass is - is it worth buying? In short: Yes. Whilst you can access all the rides in the park with a regular Studio Pass, you're likely to be doing a LOT of queuing. If you only want to be sure to try 2 or 3 rides then that will be fine with just the Studio Pass.

If you have the Express Pass, you can easily get everything done in a single day. I recommend buying the Express Pass to maximize your one day at the park (it's doable without, but more on that later). I'd only recommend two days (or 1.5 days) if you are visiting during a busy period.
