It might seem like yesterday, but back in April, Universal Studios Japan was forced to close its doors due to the pandemic - just a month after opening Super Nintendo World.
We're now in June, and the park has been reopened since then. It has actually been open to the public since the beginning of the month and is now operating at a reduced capacity on weekdays between the hours of 10am and 6pm.
Here's the full statement from USJ:
Due to the State of Emergency, Universal Studios Japan has been temporarily closed since April 25, 2021. Universal Studios Japan will reopen on June 1, 2021 and will operate at a reduced capacity on weekdays only until further notice.
Universal Studios Japan will continue to implement enhanced health and safety protocols and capacity control measures while Osaka Prefecture remains under a State of Emergency and thereafter. Universal Studios Japan will encourage guests to depart the theme park at varied times to avoid congestion. Indoor dining dividers were also installed at restaurants throughout the park.
In support of Universal Studios Japan’s commitment of the prevention of the spread of COVID-19, all team members other than essential operational team members will continue to work from home.
Of course, in order to be able to visit the park, visitors will be required to wear a face mask at all times.

Even though I'm not really into amusement parks, I'd be totally interested in visiting this place.
Reopened ?!
When pandemic is still occured in Japan ? 😰
I wouldn’t mind entering Peach’s castle!
Place your bets, when do you think it'll shut down again
Yes I’m in japan at the moment and this is definitely on my list however it will take time until we can travel within the country .... we can now just it isn’t recommended
Paradise awaits.
Edit: I wish all park goers a safe trip!
Perhaps more excitingly, it seems they’ve finally opened the long awaited Dr. Mario theme parks in Tokyo and Osaka, and the queues are massive. There are people dressed as doctors everywhere, and they even give you a free power up for attending.
Less facetiously, I am somewhat surprised that the park actual open this soon. As the press release says, Osaka is one of 10 prefectures currently under a ‘State of Emergency’ due to last until the 20th of June. I assumed that would be the date of reopening, but I clearly assumed wrongly.

Gross, if you want to post that cr@p go to Youtube or something
Super Nintendo World Covid 19 version 2.
Sounds like an awesome name for a game.
@BiscuitCrumbsInMyBed,
That will make her eyes water.
Super Nin-spreader World
Super Pandemic World
I see a future where lockdowns are the norm. New strain of whatever, temporary lockdown. After all, a majority of us have been so obedient this past year. It just took some time.
Did Japan handle Coronavirus well compared to west? Because i've heard only a small part of the population is vaccinated in view of the Olympic Games in July.
I don't understand how they thought it was a good idea opening in the first place.
There's something we needed to know...
I don't give them long until Super Nintendo World has to close again just a stupid idea to open a theme park during a global pandemic
Good news. And it's not like they are forcing anyone to go have fun. If you're a germaphobe you're still free to lock yourself up in your apartment.
@FeverDreem Same! Looks super cool
I would go for Donkey Kong rides
