Make your visit to Universal Studios Japan (USJ) easier with a private transfer between the park and your hotel in Osaka or Kyoto. Travel directly in an air-conditioned vehicle reserved for your group, without navigating crowded trains or changing lines with children or luggage. Choose a one-way transfer in either direction, or a same-day round-trip option with a prearranged return pickup. For park pickup, your driver will confirm a permitted meeting point before your trip, so you know where to go after your visit. Select a vehicle for up to 6 or 9 guests. This is private transportation only, not a sightseeing tour. Round-trip bookings cover two separate rides; the driver does not wait at USJ while you enjoy the park. Park admission, Express Passes and meals are not included. Your driver is not a tour guide, and English-speaking service is not guaranteed.
