Universal Cool Japan 2027 runs at Universal Studios Japan (USJ) in Osaka in stages from 2 December 2026, and its headline programme, Detective Conan World, is on from Wednesday 10 February to Wednesday 30 June 2027. USJ has confirmed three Conan attractions: an escape game, a live restaurant in a new venue and a story ride on Hollywood Dream The Ride. Sailor Moon (from 2 December 2026) and The Apothecary Diaries (from 10 February) are also confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide covers what is confirmed and what is not, how 2027 Studio Pass pricing works, Express Pass strategy, a February to June crowd calendar and a one-day plan with first trains from Osaka and Kyoto. Everything below on Universal Cool Japan 2027 comes from USJ’s own press releases.

What is in Universal Cool Japan 2027?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

USJ announced Universal Cool Japan 2027 on 30 September 2026 and has added to it twice since, on 1 October and 20 October. The first release<\/a> says the event starts on 2 December 2026 and that each title runs on its own schedule. USJ says more collaborations will follow, but has not named them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That means “Cool Japan 2027” is not one fixed period. Sailor Moon covers winter and early spring, while Conan and The Apothecary Diaries carry the event from February to the end of June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universal Cool Japan 2027 attractions: what is confirmed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This table lists every attraction USJ has announced as of 27 October 2026. “Confirmed” means it appears in a USJ press release. “Not announced” means USJ has not published it yet, so don’t trust any site that gives a figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two details stand out. The Live Restaurant moves to the Peacock Theater, the first change of venue and format since it began in 2018, according to the 20 October release (PDF)<\/a>. In 2026 the Conan restaurant ran at Lombardi’s Landing. Second, both the Sailor Moon and Conan story rides use Hollywood Dream The Ride, and their dates overlap from 10 February to 5 April 2027. USJ hasn’t yet said how the two will share the coaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

USJ’s releases also warn that dates can change for maintenance. In 2026 the Conan story ride closed for maintenance from 2 to 21 February, so check the ride calendar before you build a February trip around it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What else changes at USJ in early 2027?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Playing with Curious George, the gentle family ride open since 2018, has its finale on Sunday 28 February 2027, according to USJ’s 16 October release<\/a>. USJ says a “new family entertainment experience” will follow but has given no details. George meet-and-greets continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Detective Conan World USJ 2027 worth planning a trip around?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For Conan fans, yes, but the Live Restaurant is the part that costs extra and sells by session. At \u00a57,000\u2013\u00a58,400 for an adult on top of park admission, two adults are looking at \u00a514,000\u2013\u00a516,800 before Studio Passes. The 20 October release says the menu, session times and ticket details will be published on the official site in stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Escape is the other planning point. In 2026 it was a timed, separately ticketed experience at Stage 18. For 2027, USJ has confirmed the venue and format but not the price or whether you need a separate ticket, so watch the official Conan World page (Japanese)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

How do USJ Cool Japan tickets work with 2027 pricing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since visits from 1 September 2026, USJ has set Studio Pass prices day by day according to demand. A date’s price can rise after it goes on sale as tickets sell, so buying early is the main way to save. USJ also added a lower floor: the adult 1-Day Studio Pass now starts at \u00a58,400, \u00a5500 below the previous minimum, as reported by Daily Sports<\/a> on USJ’s 30 June 2026 announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ticket<\/th>Adult from<\/th>Child (4\u201311) from<\/th>What it means for Cool Japan<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
1-Day Studio Pass<\/td>\u00a58,400<\/td>\u00a55,500<\/td>The basic ticket for the story rides and 4-D show<\/td><\/tr>
1.5-Day Studio Pass<\/td>\u00a513,600<\/td>\u00a58,900<\/td>Useful if you want Conan and Super Nintendo World without rushing<\/td><\/tr>
2-Day Studio Pass<\/td>\u00a516,000<\/td>\u00a510,500<\/td>Best value per day if you also book the Live Restaurant<\/td><\/tr>
Twilight Pass (from 15:00)<\/td>\u00a55,900<\/td>\u00a53,900<\/td>Only works if your restaurant session is late<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These are starting prices from USJ’s list, as recorded in our tickets guide. USJ does not publish a maximum. In our 19 October check, adult 1-Day prices for late October to mid-December 2026 ran from \u00a59,400 to \u00a511,900, and no date showed the \u00a58,400 floor. The tier logic is simple: weekends, holidays and event launches price high, while midweek dates in quiet months price low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

USJ has not said when February to June 2027 dates go on sale. When it does, buy as soon as your date opens, because the price only goes one way as it sells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the best Universal Cool Japan Express Pass strategy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As of 27 October 2026, USJ has not announced any Universal Cool Japan Express Pass for 2027, or which passes will include the Conan or Sailor Moon story rides. Ignore any listing that claims otherwise until it appears on USJ’s own store. Standard Express Passes start at \u00a56,800 (Express Pass 4) and go up to \u00a527,600 (Premium), with date-based pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
