Getting to Universal Studios Japan > Universal Studios Japan (Osaka) Overview > The Rides and Shows > The Mascots
Although food in a theme park can be pricey, what is a trip to one without indulging a little right? 😁 We might have missed out on the butter beer at the
Harry Potter World, but that doesn't mean that it's the end of the world you know. There is after all, always next time.
Lunch ended up consisting of snacks throughout the day – turkey leg, popcorn, churros, hot dog buns etc… I guess that is where the money we saved on the fast pass went to. 😂
After taking a look see at the
Harry Potter World, we made our way to take the
Jaws ride at
Amity Harbor.

Done with the 'harrowing' water ride, we were feeling a tad peckish when we arrived at
Jurassic Park. Ok, actually we were lured to
Jurassic Park because almost everyone we saw was walking around with giant legs of turkey that looked yummy.
 |
| Craving satisfied! The turkey drumstick is big! 😋 850¥ per leg might be a little pricey, but it's a theme park after all... |
After we were done with the rides at
Jurassic Park, we rested a bit before heading off to our next destination:
New York.

After taking the rides, we took a breather and came by a little corner that was near the water and gave a pretty good view of the park.

After a ride or two more, and lots of souvenir shopping later it was time for dinner. But not before encountering the many mascots roaming the theme park that day, from
Hello Kitty to
Cookie Monster and
Elmo, to the
Minions!
 |
| Back to the Future! |
 |
| He really does resemble Christopher Lloyd a little bit, or maybe it's just the hair 😜 |
 |
| Mascots Galore! 😍😍😍 |
The culture of taking a photo with the mascots if really one a first-come-first-serve-grab-the-mascot-attention kind of thing: there was not queue formed, but whoever that was interested in taking the photo with the mascots would approach them viola -pose and photo is taken. Seems easy enough right? Not so much is you are not assertive enough or shy (i.e. not super hyped up enthusiastic), because the more enthusiastic ones would always get the attention of the mascots. But we managed to take a couple of photos with the
Minions eventually because there was a queue!
