Background & story

Universal Studios Japan opened on March 31, 2001; the 'Discover U!!!' celebration marks a quarter century since then with a theme of rediscovering both yourself and the park.

Good to know

The anniversary overlaps with summer's ONE PIECE Premier and other limited events — visiting from late July layers multiple celebrations in one trip.
