A standard adult ticket to the Harry Potter Studio Tour Tokyo (officially Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo \u2013 The Making of Harry Potter) costs \u00a56,600\u2013\u00a57,300, depending on the date. Every ticket is for a set date and entry time. Book on the official site, and allow three to four hours inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not a theme park. There are no rides. You walk through real film sets, props and costumes on the old Toshimaen amusement park site in Nerima, two minutes from Toshimaen Station. Below: exact prices, which ticket to buy, how to get there, what’s on this winter, and the small rules that catch visitors out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much are Harry Potter Studio Tour Tokyo tickets?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Prices include tax and change with the date. These are the official prices for visits from 1 July 2026, when the studio raised its lower price bands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Children aged 3 and under go free, but they still need a free infant ticket on your booking. Disabled visitors with a valid ticket get one free carer ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paid extras, from the same price list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note for October 2026: after a small fire on 29 September 2026 (no injuries; the tour is running as normal), the Digital Guide is temporarily suspended<\/strong>. Anyone who already bought one gets a refund, and the notice also lets ticket holders change their date or ask for a refund. The Package ticket (which bundles the Digital Guide) isn’t listed on the ticket page while the suspension lasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watch out for stale prices: the official price-list page still shows the old \u00a56,300 adult floor, but the studio’s pricing notice and the ticket page both put adults at \u00a56,600 and up for any visit after 30 June 2026. Pick a date in the booking calendar to see that day’s exact price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you buy tickets at the door?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, but don’t plan on it. The official FAQ confirms an on-site ticket office, but entry is capped by time slot, and the official line is to pre-book because your date or time “may be sold out”. Some older English guides still say there are no on-site sales. That’s out of date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three legitimate ways to buy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Official website<\/strong> \u2013 pick a date and time, pay by credit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Cards need 3D Secure, or payment can fail.<\/li>\n\n\n
  2. 7-Eleven<\/strong> \u2013 the Multi-Copy machine in store or the 7ticket website (Japanese only).<\/li>\n\n\n
  3. Authorised distributors<\/strong> \u2013 resellers such as Klook sell dated tickets too. Only tickets from the studio or its authorised distributors are valid. Auction-site tickets get turned away.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Cash works only at the on-site ticket office. IC cards (Suica, Pasmo), iD and QUICPay are not accepted for tickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When do tickets go on sale, and do they sell out?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The studio releases dates in blocks. Right now, tickets are on sale for visits up to 31 March 2027<\/strong>. It doesn’t publish a fixed release schedule, so sign up for the official newsletter if you’re planning further ahead. Special events get their own sale dates. The family “Magical Feast to Share” dinner, for example, goes on general sale on 28 October 2026 at 12:00 JST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Weekends, Japanese school holidays and the Christmas season fill first. Book as soon as your Tokyo dates are fixed, especially for a morning slot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Changes and refunds:<\/strong> tickets are non-refundable and can’t be transferred to someone else. You can change the date or time for \u00a51,500 per change<\/strong>. Contact Visitor Services before your original slot. If you booked through a reseller, changes go through that reseller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Which ticket should you buy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    1. Standard Ticket (General admission)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The Lowdown: Timed entry to the full self-guided route. Everything most visitors want is included, including the Great Hall, Forbidden Forest, Ministry of Magic and Diagon Alley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Where: Main entrance, 1-1-7 Kasugacho, Nerima.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Vibe: Go at your own pace. There’s no time limit once you’re in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Price: Adult \u00a56,600\u2013\u00a57,300; Junior \u00a55,500\u2013\u00a56,000; Child \u00a54,000\u2013\u00a54,400.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Official Link: Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo tickets<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83d\udca1 Japan Pro Tip: You can enter the building up to an hour before your slot. Use that hour for lockers, toilets and the Food Hall, then start the tour fed and hands-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Package Ticket (Admission + extras)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The Lowdown: Standard admission bundled with add-ons, sold as a value package with the Digital Guide and Souvenir Guidebook. It costs a little less than buying the extras separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Where: Collect the guidebook at the Studio Tour Shop or Information Desk at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Vibe: For superfans who want the behind-the-scenes audio and a book to take home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Price: Adult \u00a510,080\u2013\u00a510,780; Junior \u00a58,980\u2013\u00a59,480; Child \u00a57,480\u2013\u00a57,880 (visits from 1 July 2026).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Official Link: Ticket pricing notice<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83d\udca1 Japan Pro Tip: The Package isn’t on sale while the Digital Guide is suspended after the September fire. Buy a standard ticket and add the guidebook on the day for \u00a52,500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. Guided Tour (Small group)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The Lowdown: A staff guide leads a small group (2\u201310 people) through the production stories behind the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films. At its 2025 launch it ran in Japanese only, lasted about 3.5 hours and had to be booked at least 14 days ahead. It is not running from 7 September to 10 November 2026, and later dates are still TBA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Where: Meet at the studio at the time on your ticket. Arrive late and you may not be able to join, with no refund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Vibe: Slower and more detailed than a solo walk. Best for Japanese speakers or film-craft nerds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Price: Basic \u00a510,800 \/ Advance \u00a514,800 (adult).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Official Link: Price list<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83d\udca1 Japan Pro Tip: Check the language on the booking page before paying. If it’s still Japanese-only, a standard ticket is the better buy for non-Japanese speakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. Afternoon Tea \/ Evening High Tea Package (Dining)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The Lowdown: Admission plus a seasonal tea in a dedicated area of the Backlot Caf\u00e9, halfway round the tour. The afternoon tea includes one glass of sparkling wine or a mocktail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Where: Backlot Caf\u00e9, mid-tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Vibe: A sit-down break with a time limit. Tea is limited to 90 minutes, high tea to 120 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Price: Afternoon Tea \u00a514,000\u2013\u00a514,700 (adult, visits up to 10 November 2026); Evening High Tea from \u00a516,500 (adult, visits up to 8 November 2026).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Official Link: Ticket information<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83d\udca1 Japan Pro Tip: Both must be used at least three hours before closing. Book an early tour slot so you aren’t rushed through the second half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5. Dinner at Hogwarts (Seasonal special)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The Lowdown: A sit-down dinner in the decorated Great Hall. The \u00a558,000 “Magical Winter” course dinner includes a private after-hours tour. The family “Magical Feast to Share” is a sharing-style dinner and does not include the private tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Where: The Great Hall set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Vibe: A once-a-year splurge. It’s the only time you get to sit at the long tables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Price: Magical Winter \u00a558,000 (2, 3, 10 and 11 December 2026). Magical Feast to Share \u00a529,000 adults (20+), \u00a515,000 for elementary school age to 19 (5 and 12 December 2026).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Official Link: Magical Winter<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83d\udca1 Japan Pro Tip: The family dinner goes on sale on 28 October 2026 at 12:00 JST. Set an alarm. There are only two dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Off the menu for now: the Wand Workshop, the Wand Combat Lesson (in Japanese) and the Night Tour (in Japanese, \u00a55,500) all show “no tickets currently available”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How do you get to the Harry Potter Studio Tour Tokyo?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"Yellow

    The studio is a 2-minute walk from Toshimaen Station<\/strong>. Two train lines serve it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u51fa\u767a\u5730<\/th>Route<\/th>\u6642\u9593<\/th>Fare (one way)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
    \u6c60\u888b<\/td>Seibu Ikebukuro Line (Toshima Line) to Toshimaen<\/td>about 17 min<\/td>\u00a5210 (IC \u00a5207)<\/td><\/tr>
    \u65b0\u5bbf<\/td>Toei Oedo Line direct to Toshimaen<\/td>about 20 min<\/td>\u00a5280 (IC \u00a5272)<\/td><\/tr>
    Haneda Airport<\/td>Airport Limousine Bus (Hikarigaoka\/Nerima route), stops at the studio entrance since 1 March 2026<\/td>varies<\/td>see operator<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    On the Seibu side, check that the train shows Toshimaen as its destination before boarding. If it doesn’t, ride to Nerima and change to the Toshima Line shuttle for one stop. Seibu raised its fares on 14 March 2026, so older guides quoting \u00a5190 are out of date. The Oedo Line is easier if you’re staying around Shinjuku, Roppongi or Shiodome. Both lines take IC cards, and our IC\u30ab\u30fc\u30c9\u30ac\u30a4\u30c9<\/a> covers the basics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Driving:<\/strong> for visits up to 31 December 2026, you must reserve parking (\u00a52,000) when you buy your tickets. From 1 January 2027, advance parking tickets end and you pay \u00a52,000 on arrival. There’s no EV charging, and the car park is for ticket holders only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Landing at Haneda?<\/strong> The limousine bus stop makes the studio doable on a long layover, though with the 3\u20134 hour visit it’s tight. See our Haneda layover guide<\/a> before you try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How long does the Harry Potter Studio Tour Tokyo take?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The studio recommends three to four hours<\/strong>, and there’s no time limit. Add up to an hour before your slot if you plan to eat or use the lockers first, plus queueing time at the shop at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What actually happens:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Arrive.<\/strong> You and your bags go through a security check. Large bags and suitcases go through scanners. No photos until you’re past the checkpoint.<\/li>\n\n\n
    2. Pre-entry hour.<\/strong> Up to one hour before your slot, you can use the Food Hall, Frog Caf\u00e9, shop, lockers and toilets.<\/li>\n\n\n
    3. Enter within 30 minutes of your time.<\/strong> If you’re late, staff will offer the next free slot, depending on availability. After the day’s final tour has started, entry isn’t guaranteed.<\/li>\n\n\n
    4. Group start, then solo.<\/strong> The tour opens as a group (including a short pre-show cinema), then becomes self-guided for the rest of the route.<\/li>\n\n\n
    5. Backlot break.<\/strong> The Backlot Caf\u00e9 sits about halfway through.<\/li>\n\n\n
    6. Exit through the shop.<\/strong> It’s open only to ticket holders.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Opening hours<\/strong> vary by date, so check the official calendar. For late October and November 2026, the calendar shows the doors opening at 08:30 and the first tour at 09:00. On most weekdays the last tour starts at 15:00 and the building closes at 19:00. On weekends and many holidays the last tour is 17:00 and closing is 21:00. Because of the 3\u20134 hour visit, a slot before 13:00 is the safe choice on weekdays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      What’s inside, and what’s exclusive to Tokyo?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      The core sets on the official list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
