A trip to Osaka might never feel complete without a visit to Universal Studios Japan, where childhood fantasies and legendary characters come to life. The Japanese theme park has been one of the must-visit destinations for local and international tourists since it first opened years ago. While there are tons of cool things to do here, planning the journey on your own can be quite frustrating without a guide per se. But with the help of ticket-purchasing app Klook, you might actually be able to see all the best hits in a single day.

Here is what we recommend checking out:

1. Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™

Wizards and witch wannabes: you can stop playing with your mother’s broomsticks or the tree branches in her yard. At Universal Studios Japan's Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, you can get as close to living your dream as the famous Gryffindor trio. Explore Hogsmeade™ and the castle’s grounds to your heart’s delight, but don’t miss a chance to use an interactive wand that actually lets you cast spells, unleashing fire and water depending on your whims. After that, grab a gallon of Butterbeer™ before checking out some of the other attractions.

2.  The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man - The Ride 4K3D

This ride appears in Universal theme parks all over the world, and has already scooped countless awards for its immersive visuals and swinging passenger car. Now, the ride has been upgraded to include 4K3D visuals (at an ungodly expense, no doubt) to make the experience even more immersive. The storyline, which follows Spider-man though several battles with some classic enemies, has also been redone to tie-in with some of the series more recent storylines.
