There are 4-7 Express Pass tiers, ¥7,800–¥16,800, each with different rides. Premium and Premium Plus include Studio Tour (limited). This picker picks by your priorities.

How to read results
- Express Pass: skip-the-line ticket for 4-7 attractions. Not a park admission — still need a USJ Studio Pass (¥8,600+ for adults).
- Super Nintendo World: requires timed entry ticket or Express Pass to enter. Without either, you might wait 4+ hours.
- Studio Tour: limited capacity, usually Express Pass 4+ required, ¥14,000+.
- Multi-day: 1.5 day studio pass adds ¥4,300; 2 days adds ¥9,000.
