3 Days in OSAKA, Japan Vlog | Dotonbori, Osaka Castle, Best Kobe Beef, USJ w @SuitcaseMonkey
👉 *Hotel & Attractions linked below*
What to do in Osaka over 3 days. We get lost in the overwhelming Dotonbori, find the best tasting Kobe Beef restaurant, window shopping at Kuromon Market and, Shinsaibashi, a day at Universal Studios Japan as well as experiencing an earthquake and visiting Osaka Castle. From @SuitcaseMonkey
👉* HOTEL we stayed at, 25 minutes walk to Universal Studios so didn't have to deal with busy trains and could get there early to avoid lines. Spacious, 30 minutes direct train into Osaka. Prices seem to have increased since we stayed but still great place: www.booking.com/hotel/jp/you-yadoru-in-osaka.en.html?aid=1864334&no_rooms=1&group_adults=2&label=Osaka

    Hi, I got a question about the Single Rider Lanes How do they register whether I am indeed a single rider or not? (I'm asking this because I'm planning a trip with a friend and was wondering if we could just get both of us in the Single Rider Lane and ride together, but skipping the standar queue)

    • @CarryOnMonkey
      @CarryOnMonkey Місяць тому

      That wouldn’t work (otherwise everyone would do it lol). It’s a separate lane which takes you to the front but they only use that lane to fill gaps that are filled by 1 person. So they load a new person every few minutes from that lane whilst the normal lane is constantly moving.

    If you buy an express pass, can you also register for the ride again via timed entry so go twice, once with your express pass designated and time and once via timed entry? and for your timed entry, do you get a choice to select which time is selected based on availability or does it just assign you to a time?

    Awesome tutorial! Just a tip: You do not need to select a studio pass to see availability for express pass. If you click on "Express Passes" directly, the portal allows you to buy ONLY the express pass, without buying the studio ticket together. Then, once you find a date with available tickets, just buy an additional studio pass separately.
