Universal Studios Japan, celebrating its 25th anniversary, will be holding its winter seasonal event, “Universal Holiday Wonders ~Discover U!!!~,” from Friday, November 13, 2026, to Sunday, January 17, 2027. This winter, we’re bringing you a special holiday where family bonds grow even closer and you can wrap up the year with “super happiness.” Today, as the second announcement following the September 14th reveal of the 25th anniversary “Holiday Kids Free Pass” (one child admitted free per adult), we’re excited to share details about limited-time seasonal food and merchandise campaigns for families to enjoy together.
This time, we’re unveiling all the special contents of the “Holiday Kids Free Pass,” including the “Family Set Campaign,” where everyone can enjoy delicious treats to celebrate the end of the year, a shopping campaign for picking out matching goods and souvenirs, a game campaign with special rules for kids, and the “Ride Photo Campaign” to capture unforgettable family memories. In addition, with the “Holiday Kids Free Pass,” you can take advantage of special family accommodation offers at participating hotels—such as free stays for children or special rates for family rooms—by booking the “Holiday Kids Free Plan” or a hotel package that includes the pass.*
Gather around a feast and share laughter, pick out matching goods, get excited together over games, and capture special moments in photos. Through each of these experiences, we hope to bring families and loved ones even closer together and help you end the year with “super happiness” and unforgettable family time.
*Special offers and conditions vary by hotel. Please check the official websites of participating hotels for details.
