“Are there lots of places for street food in Kinosaki Onsen? And how late are they open?”

That’s the kind of thing you wonder about, right!

Before I visit any hot spring town, I always check whether the town is big enough and whether there are street‑food spots to enjoy.

And Kinosaki Onsen definitely delivers—it has a large hot spring town with plenty of places for food hopping!

After visiting many different hot spring towns, Kinosaki Onsen has actually become my personal No.1 favorite.

Namakeneco

You want crab, but you also can’t miss the classic sweets and savory bites, right?

For those who want it all, here’s a full roundup of Kinosaki Onsen’s street‑food delights!

We’ve gathered everything—opening hours, closed days, and even prices of popular menu items—so by reading this article, your trip prep will be flawless◎

From kaniyaki, kaniman, and crab cream croquettes to pudding, gelato, and menchi‑katsu…

Kinosaki Onsen is packed with shops offering all kinds of sweets and gourmet treats—so where should you start?

Kaniyaki from Marufuku

Namakeneco

What?! Crab?!

But actually, it’s a Japanese sweet shaped like a crab—something like a dorayaki or imagawayaki.

The crispy batter filled with plenty of sweet red bean paste is irresistibly delicious!

Kani‑bō (crab skewer) from Hōkyūan

Namakeneco

Why is kamaboko (fish cake) always so delicious?

When it comes to street food, kamaboko is definitely a classic!

On Kinosaki Onsen’s street‑food lane, you can even find crab kamaboko.

If you’re visiting Kinosaki, this is one treat you absolutely have to try!

Kani Okowa (crab rice) from Kadoya Tōbei

How about a rice ball made with seasoned rice infused with the rich flavor of crab?

Since there are so many street‑food shops in Kinosaki Onsen, it’s fun to skip lunch and instead fill up on kani okowa—then continue your food‑hopping adventure with more gourmet bites and sweets!

*Available only from October to March (seasonal item).

Kani‑man (crab bun) from Marusan Bussan

At the souvenir shop’s storefront, you’ll find kani‑man (crab buns) and doteman for sale.

Namakeneco

On a cold day, nothing tastes better than a steaming hot kani‑man!

Matsuba Crab Cream Croquette from Kinosaki Omiyage Hyakusen

Namakeneco

Cream croquettes always feel like such a guilty pleasure, don’t they?

And with Matsuba crab inside—this one is guaranteed to be delicious!!!

Just be careful not to burn your mouth on the piping hot, creamy filling!

Tamago Pan (egg bread) from Tamago Specialty Shop Honsoe

A specialty shop famous for its tamago pan—so popular that long lines form every day.

Namakeneco

I just want to eat freshly baked tamago pan!

If that’s you, I recommend reserving online in advance.

That way, you can skip most of the waiting and grab your bread more easily!

Yuagari Pudding from Maruyama Karyo

Originally a karintō (fried sweet snack) shop, but the pudding sold at the storefront has become a huge hit.

I’m not usually a fan of firm puddings,

but the Yuagari Pudding was surprisingly silky and smooth—it melted in my mouth and was absolutely delicious!

Special Strawberry Daifuku from Kinosaki Onsen Minatoya

Why is ichigo daifuku (strawberry mochi) always so irresistible?

The sweet‑tart strawberry, the smooth red bean paste, and the chewy mochi all come together perfectly.

*Available only from late November to mid‑May. Sold exclusively at the storefront.

Kinosaki Bottle Sweets from Kinosaki Sweets Main Store

From left in the photo: Yu‑meguri Pudding, Beppin Panna Cotta, and Miharashi Tiramisu.

Not only are the packages adorable—the names are cute too ♡

You’ll definitely want to take photos with these while wearing a yukata!

Onsen Tamago Gelato from Kinosaki Gelato Café Chaya

Official message:

Soy Milk Donuts from Hasegawa Tofu Shop

Soy‑milk donuts feel healthier than regular ones, so honestly I like to think they’re zero calories… (of course, they’re not).

Freshly fried donuts taste like pure guilty happiness, don’t they!!!

Tajima Beef Burger from BURGER & Café

This is another popular spot. In a stylish café setting, you can enjoy a hamburger made with the premium local brand beef, Tajima‑gyu.

Go ahead—take a big bite and savor it!

Tajima Beef Menchi‑katsu from Gyushō Ueda

The Tajima beef from Ueda Chikusan, run by master butcher Mr. Ueda, has won awards at numerous competitions.

It’s so popular that even their online shop often sells out!

This exquisite menchi‑katsu is absolutely worth trying on site in Kinosaki.

Tajima Beef Bun from Tajima Beef Delica Chaya

They also sell the limited‑edition Kinosaki Crab Bun, but my personal recommendation is definitely the Tajima Beef Bun!

Nure Okaki (soft rice cracker skewer) from Terakoya Honpo Kinosaki Onsen

Remember nure senbei (soft rice crackers) from years ago?

I used to really like them, but they’ve become harder to find lately…

This is a slightly moist version of okaki (bite‑sized rice crackers).

If you’re wondering, “Moist… rice crackers??” then you should definitely give them a try at least once!

Okaki (rice crackers) from Genbudō Okaki

You’ll be amazed at the sheer variety of okaki lined up here.

The packaging is super cute too, so they make wonderful souvenirs that anyone would be happy to receive!

Thank you so much for reading all the way to the end!

So, what did you think? Did you find a shop that caught your eye?

Kinosaki Onsen is truly a paradise for food lovers—whether you’re craving crab, sweets, or hearty bites, the streets are full of delicious options to explore!

Namakeneco

Kinosaki Onsen is the perfect spot for fun and delicious street‑food adventures!

When you visit Kinosaki, be sure to stop by and enjoy these tasty treats.

18 Must‑Try Street Foods in Kinosaki Onsen: From Crab to Sweets to Savory Bites—A Hot Spring Town Made for Strolling

When you think of Kusatsu Onsen, it’s all about “food strolling”!

Take a walk around the famous Yubatake hot spring field while enjoying plenty of local gourmet treats.

Namakeneco

I want cute, Instagram‑worthy sweets, but after touring the public baths I also crave beer and snacks!

For those of you who want it all, I’ve put together a guide to the best street‑food spots in Kusatsu Onsen town.

I’ve included opening hours, closed days, addresses, prices, and my own experiences

—so your Kusatsu trip prep is now complete.

Be warned: Kusatsu Onsen gets very crowded at night.

If you don’t decide on a dinner spot early and get in ahead of the rush, you might end up a “dinner refugee”!

Weekends and holidays are especially packed—take it from someone who’s been there.

From onsen pudding, onsen manju, onsen eggs, yakitori, croquettes…

there are so many options. Find your own favorite shop and enjoy the ultimate Kusatsu food stroll!

Be mindful of business hours and irregular holidays! Many shops change their opening times or closed days depending on the season. I recommend visiting the places you want to go earlier in the day. When I went before, quite a few shops had already closed by 6:00 p.m.

Introducing Instagram‑worthy sweets that are almost too cute to eat!

Perfect for a girls’ trip or a couple’s date—these treats are guaranteed to make your visit even more fun!

Kusatsu Onsen Pudding “Yubatake Pudding”

When visiting a hot spring town, you almost always end up eating the classic—onsen pudding!

The “Yubatake Pudding” is a two‑layer treat with emerald‑green jelly inspired by the famous Yubatake and a creamy pudding base.

It’s so cute you’ll want to post it on Instagram right away.

It’s so popular that it sometimes sells out by lunchtime!

If you absolutely want to try it, I recommend going first thing in the morning.

I was tempted by the “limited edition!” sign and bought the “Yukemuri Tamago Pudding” (a freshly made warm pudding), but honestly, I think pudding tastes better chilled.

Yunoka Honpo “Mizutamari”

The new Kusatsu Onsen specialty “Natural Water Mizutamari” is irresistibly cute with its crystal‑clear, jiggly texture!

I’d love to snap a photo of it together with Yunoka Honpo’s Onsen Egg Soft‑Serve and Yukemuri Cider.

Once you accept a sample, they’ll often invite you inside with a friendly “Please enjoy some tea as well.”

But if you sit down, you might feel awkward if you don’t end up buying anything.

Since they only start grilling after taking your order—and many customers place large orders—the turnover rate is surprisingly slow.

When I lined up, I was about 10th in line and it still took 40 minutes!

Namakeneco

18 Must‑Try Street Foods in Kinosaki Onsen: From Crab to Sweets to Savory Bites—A Hot Spring Town Made for Strolling

When you think of “high-speed buses” or “night buses,” what comes to mind?

Affordable? Cramped? Uncomfortable?

Namakeneco

Well, you’re right!

While they may not be synonymous with ultimate comfort,

they do offer a budget-friendly alternative for those seeking a relatively comfortable ride without breaking the bank.

If you’re thinking,

“I can’t afford the Shinkansen! I’m looking for an affordable bus with decent comfort,”

then this article is for you.

Join me, who frequently commuted between Osaka and Tokyo on night buses,

as they introduce the top-ranked, cost-effective night bus companies they discovered.

Comparative Overview of Night Bus Companies

Introducing the Featured Bus Companies☟

Namakeneco

★１…Unfiltered reviews…

*This opinion is based on my personal experience, and it’s important to note that individual experiences can vary. It’s true that there are instances where I may have had a negative experience with a particular bus. I appreciate your understanding.

I will honestly discuss the positive and negative aspects of each bus company.

☟In detail

Blue Liner　★☆☆☆☆

I would not like to ride the bus again in the future. (Although it could have been just an isolated incident.)

• Positive Aspects

• Free water provided
• Seats equipped with power outlets
• Footrest available (although they are too narrow to fully stretch your legs)

• Negative Aspects

• Overly bright lighting at service areas (being woken up forcefully every two hours)
• Excessively cold temperature (the air conditioning was too strong during your summer ride, making it difficult to sleep)
• Failure to address noisy passengers (despite the lights being turned off, there were disruptive individuals who were not reprimanded, which made the journey quite exhausting)

Namakeneco

I had difficulty sleeping due to the bright lighting at service areas and the conversations of other passengers.

Please note that these are my personal observations and experiences. It’s important to consider that each ride can vary, and other passengers may have different experiences.

Grand Grace　★★★★☆

I have experienced using both “GrandGrace” and “GrandGrace Standard,”

and I highly recommend “GrandGrace” without a doubt.

It is significantly more spacious and comfortable.

☟Regarding “GrandGrace”:

• Positive Aspects

• Privacy curtain, footrest, and power outlets available for each seat.
• Ample legroom.
• Fully reclining seats (since all seats are already reclined, there is no need to worry about bothering or being bothered by passengers in front or behind you, making it a comfortable experience).

Namakeneco

I always sleep in an upright position to be considerate to the person behind me, so the fully reclining seats were fantastic!

• Negative Aspects

・Simply put, the price is high.

Night Liner　★★☆☆☆

• Positive Aspects

• Complimentary tea service.
• Free blanket rental.

• Negative Aspects

• Inability to charge devices via power outlets.
• Excessive heat that made it difficult to sleep (even though it was autumn, the reason for the intense heat remains a mystery).
• Firm seats that caused significant discomfort and frequent awakenings due to pain in the buttocks.

Namakeneco

I thought my buttocks were going to split…

Sunshine Express　★★★☆☆

It seems like what comes to mind for many people is “THE Night Bus.”

It’s known for being inexpensive and cramped.

• Positive Aspects

• Often offers the lowest prices.
• Offers a high frequency of trips, making it easier to secure last-minute reservations.
• Privacy curtains between seats.

• Negative Aspects

・Cramped space

When the person in front reclines their seat, it can be quite uncomfortable.

VIP Liner　★★★★☆

I have used both “VIP Liner” and “VIP Liner Grancia,” and I must say that Grancia was absolutely exceptional!

☟About “VIP Liner”:

• Positive Aspects

• Privacy curtains and footrests between seats.
• Spacious legroom for a comfortable journey.
• Provides small pillows and blankets.
• No announcements or disturbance during rest stops (although it may vary depending on individuals, I personally prefer not to be disturbed, so it was comfortable for me).

• Negative Aspects

• Slightly higher price compared to the lowest fare (around ¥500 to ¥3000 difference).
• Departure and arrival times may be delayed compared to the scheduled time (this can vary depending on the specific bus, but during my trip, the arrival was about 30 minutes late).

☟About “VIP Liner Grancia”:

• Positive Aspects

• Privacy curtains between seats.
• Full reclining without affecting the person behind (the seat slides forward, ensuring ample space for the person behind).

Namakeneco

This was absolutely fantastic! It was such a joy to recline fully!

• Automatic reclining with a button.
• Extended legroom (perfect for a sound sleep).
• Consideration for seat changes.
• Minimal lighting and no announcements during rest stops.

• Negative Aspects

• Higher price (I paid around ¥4000 on a weekday during the off-peak season).
• Slight gap when closing the curtains, which could be a bit bothersome.
• Minimal lighting and no announcements during disembarkation (I almost missed my stop due to being sound asleep).

Namakeneco

Grancia was truly, truly wonderful! It felt like traveling in a capsule hotel!

Sakura Express　★★★★★

This bus company, “Sakura Kotsu,” operates not only under that name but also under different bus names like “KiraKira-go” and “SA○○ Bus.”

Since I have used their services multiple times, please be aware that certain services may vary depending on the specific bus. Here are some observations:

• Positive Aspects

• Footrests available.
• Reasonable legroom (although it becomes narrower when the person in front reclines).
• Equipped with power outlets.
• Fabric coverings to prevent heating from the floor and to ensure armrests don’t get cold (excellent consideration).
• Affordable reservations can be made through the official website.
• Seats are often available (compared to Sunshine Express).
• During rest stops, they inform passengers of the bus’s license plate number (which is helpful when it’s difficult to identify the bus).
• They provide a 3-minute warning before lights are turned off, gradually dimming the lights (which is convenient as sudden darkness can be unsettling).
• If there are vacant seats, they may guide passengers to other seats or arrange seating alternately, making it easier to recline.

Namakeneco

Unbeatable cost performance! The attention to detail is exceptional! Recently, I almost exclusively choose Sakura Kotsu for my travels.

• Negative Aspects

• Lights during rest stops are slightly bright.
• No partition curtains.
• When boarding at Kyoto Station, the boarding location is different from other buses, so please pay attention!

WILLER EXPRESS　★★★☆☆

While I have mentioned services that I found positive, it’s possible that some are part of the bus company’s manual while others are unique to certain drivers.

Different buses may offer different services, so please keep that in mind.

• Positive Aspects

The seating comfort, pillows, and spaciousness are moderate.

• Negative Aspects

The fares are often ¥1000 or more expensive compared to the cheapest options.

Top Three Cost-Effective Recommendations

Namakeneco

And so, My favorite bus companies are as follows.

• No.1: Sakura Express

This is the epitome of cost-performance! With often the lowest fares, you can enjoy relatively comfortable travel.

Lately, I’ve been using Sakura Kotsu (Sakura Transportation) exclusively.

• No.2: VIP Liner

It may not live up to the name “VIP,” but you can travel comfortably at a reasonable price.

• No.3: Grand Grace

For those days when you want a solid sleep, even if it’s a bit pricier, I recommend Number 3: Grand Grace. It’s a luxurious option!

Top Three Recommended Booking Website

Namakeneco

I check all three websites for the lowest fares!

• Sky Ticket

With SkyTicket, you can easily search multiple bus companies at once.

The calendar display allows you to see at a glance when the lowest fares are available.

You can also find discounted airfare and hotels.

• Rakuten Travel

The biggest advantage of Rakuten Travel is that you can earn Rakuten points.

I think I use Rakuten Travel for booking the most because they often have the lowest fares.

When you have a lot of Rakuten points or during promotional periods, you may be able to book at a discounted rate using points!

When I have accumulated Rakuten points for a limited time, I book through Rakuten Travel.

• Bus bookmark

Sometimes, Bus Bookmark offers extremely low prices compared to SkyTicket and Rakuten Travel.

In the past, when there were unsold seats for the night bus on the same day, I was able to book for 2,800 yen on Bus Bookmark while other sites were offering it for 6,000 yen.

The site is user-friendly, with options displayed, allowing you to choose the departure location with just one click or even move to the next day easily. Personally, I find it the most visually appealing among the three sites.

Conclusion

How was it? Thank you for reading until the end.

I’m glad if this has been helpful in solving your concerns about finding affordable and comfortable night buses.

Don’t you think it’s become more common lately to be asked to pay accommodation or hot spring taxes when staying at inns or hotels?

Namakeneco

What’s that? …Well, if it’s 200 yen, I guess that’s fine.

Wait a second!

You might think it’s just a few hundred yen, but sometimes it’s unexpectedly expensive and surprising!

In the hugely popular tourist destination of Kyoto, it can even be as much as 10,000 yen per person!

So, I’ve put together a summary of accommodation and hot spring taxes across Japan.

There’s also a handy list showing exactly how much is added to your lodging fee at a glance, so be sure to check it before you travel.

What are accommodation tax and hot spring tax?

Accommodation tax

These are taxes applied when staying at hotels or inns.

In some cases, the prefecture is the taxing authority, while in others individual municipalities impose the tax—and sometimes both may apply.

Not all regions have introduced such taxes.

As of December 2025, accommodation taxes have been implemented in the following prefectures and municipalities.

In other regions, accommodation tax is not required.

However, starting in 2026, accommodation taxes are scheduled to be introduced in Hokkaido (including popular tourist cities), Morioka City in Iwate Prefecture, Sendai City in Miyagi Prefecture, Yugawara Town in Kanagawa Prefecture, Nagano Prefecture, Hiroshima Prefecture, and Kumamoto City in Kumamoto Prefecture.

Hot spring tax

This is a tax applied when bathing or staying at facilities with hot springs.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications sets the standard at 150 yen per person per day, and many hot spring resorts collect this amount.

Depending on the hot spring, the tax varies, ranging from 20 yen to 500 yen.

Hokkaido（2026.4.1〜）New!

Therefore, in certain areas of Hokkaido listed below, guests will be required to pay both the accommodation tax imposed by Hokkaido Prefecture and the additional tax levied by the municipality.

Tax rates

In addition, municipalities that had already been considering the introduction of accommodation tax will also begin collecting it starting April 1, 2026.

Hokkaido / Kutchan Town（2019.11.1〜）

なまけねこ

Where is “Kutchan Town”?

Many people may feel that way.

Kutchan Town is located next to Niseko Town and is home to Mount Yōtei.

Together with Niseko Town, it forms the Niseko Resort area, which attracts many tourists from both Japan and abroad.

Due to foreign companies purchasing land and engaging in real estate development, the Yamada district of Kutchan Town recorded the highest residential land price growth rate in Japan for three consecutive years starting in 2006.

In addition to the above amount, Hokkaido’s accommodation tax will also be charged（2026/4/1～）

*Students on school trips and accompanying teachers are exempt from the accommodation tax.

Bathing tax: ¥150 for overnight stays / ¥70 for day trips.

Hokkaido / Niseko Town（2024.11.1〜）　

Niseko Town, famous for its superb snow quality, is extremely popular with overseas tourists.

Although the introduction of an accommodation tax had long been under consideration in Niseko Town, it was finally fully implemented at the end of 2024.

Furthermore, from November 1, 2026, the town aims to revise the system to a flat 3% rate.

It is understandable, as maintaining and promoting tourist destinations requires significant funding.

The intended uses of Niseko Town’s accommodation tax are being considered as follows:

1. Enhancement of local transportation
2. Promotion and support for reducing the environmental impact of accommodation businesses
3. Strengthening of the tourism association, development of tourism personnel, and promotion of tourism digitalization
4. Measures for landscape and environmental conservation

In addition to the above amount, Hokkaido’s accommodation tax will also be charged（2026/4/1～）

Previously, there had been discussions about introducing such a tax.

But due to the heavy burden on accommodation businesses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the plan was temporarily withdrawn.

After renewed deliberations, it has now been decided that the accommodation tax will officially be implemented starting January 2026.

If you book a hotel in Sendai City, an additional accommodation tax for Sendai City will be charged.

The bathing tax in Sendai City is ¥150 for overnight stays and ¥70 for day trips.

In Tokyo, which attracts tourists from all over the world, an accommodation tax is applied across the entire metropolitan area.

However, if the room-only rate (excluding meals and other charges) does not exceed ¥10,000 per night, the tax is not levied.

In other words, “if you stay at a high-end ryokan or hotel, you’ll have to pay.”

Due to the rapid increase in tourists both domestic and international, Tokyo’s accommodation tax system is currently under review.

A draft proposal has been submitted to raise the tax to a flat 3% by sometime in 2027.

The bathing tax is ¥150.

In Kyoto City, the accommodation tax is levied regardless of the room rate.

A revision of the accommodation tax is now under consideration.

If the accommodation fee reaches ¥100,000 or more (excluding meal charges and consumption tax), the accommodation tax alone amounts to ¥10,000!

Fukuoka Prefecture（2020.4.1〜）

In Fukuoka Prefecture, accommodation tax is collected at both the prefectural and city levels (currently only in Fukuoka City and Kitakyushu City).

Some have questioned whether this amounts to “double taxation,” but as shown in the table, regardless of which city you stay in, the total is either ¥200 or ¥500.

The difference lies in whether the tax is collected by the prefecture or the city.

However, the official website clearly states: “If a municipality introduces a new accommodation tax, the prefectural tax rate will be ¥100 per person per night.”

Therefore, if other municipalities in the future impose an accommodation tax exceeding ¥100, the total amount could rise above ¥200.

The bathing tax is ¥50 for both overnight stays and day trips.

Prefectures and municipalities where bathing tax (surtax) is levied

As of 2018 (Heisei 30), the bathing tax had been introduced in 992 municipalities nationwide (counting the Tokyo metropolitan wards as one municipality).

Of these, 91.3% apply the standard tax rate of ¥150, with rates ranging from a minimum of ¥20 to a maximum of ¥500.

This means that in most hot spring areas, visitors are required to pay a bathing tax, typically ¥150 per adult.

However, this refers to the standard rate (adult, overnight stay). Depending on the municipality, exemptions or reductions may apply for day-use visitors, children under 12, school trip students, those bathing for medical purposes, youth hostel users, or facilities charging ¥1,000 or less.

Municipalities with Surtax (Higher Bathing Tax)

According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the bathing tax rate is set at a standard of ¥150 per person per day.

Charging a bathing tax higher than the standard ¥150 is referred to as a “surtax.”

From my research, the municipalities that have introduced a surtax are the following five hot spring resorts.

If there are others, I will add them as they are identified, so please let me know.

For other hot spring areas, you can rest assured that the maximum is generally ¥150 per adult per night.

• Hokkaido – Kushiro City / Lake Akan Onsen, Kushiro Onsen

Bathing tax: ¥300 per adult (overnight stay)

Day-use bathing: ¥90

From April 2025, the tax was raised from ¥250 → ¥300.

On April 1, 2020, the tax was raised from ¥150 → ¥300.

• Mie Prefecture – Kuwana City / Nagashima Onsen (partially)

Bathing tax: ¥210 per adult (overnight stay)

This hot spring area is located in Kuwana City, famous for Nagashima Spa Land and Nabana no Sato.

The municipal official website did not show bathing tax information, but some accommodation websites list it as ¥210.

It seems that the fee may vary depending on the facility.

• Osaka Prefecture – Minoh City / Minoh Onsen

Bathing tax: ¥200 per adult (overnight stay)

• Okayama Prefecture – Mimasaka City / Yunogo Onsen

Bathing tax: ¥200 per adult (overnight stay)

• Oita Prefecture – Beppu City / Beppu Onsen

Bathing tax: ¥50 – ¥500 per adult (overnight stay)

In Beppu Onsen, the bathing tax is levied in proportion to the accommodation fee + meal fee.

Unlike Tokyo’s accommodation tax, which is calculated on the lodging fee excluding meals, Beppu’s bathing tax includes meals—so please take note!

If you book a higher‑end ryokan without realizing this, you might end up paying ¥500 bathing tax for two people.

Be careful!

For long-term stays (7 nights / 8 days or more), the bathing tax is reduced by half.

*The table above shows the bathing tax for short-term stays (day-use to 6 nights / 7 days). For long-term stays (7 nights / 8 days or more), the half-rate applies starting from the first night.

So to you, who are worried thinking, “I’m afraid of roller coasters, so I don’t know if I can handle the attractions…”

Here’s what I want to tell you:

Don’t worry—at USJ, you can ride all the thrill rides except the one ranked No.1!!! (Probably)

As someone with a roller coaster phobia who really struggles with thrill rides, I actually tried every single thrill ride at Universal Studios Japan.

Based on that experience, I created a fear ranking to show which ones are the scariest.

I want to try riding thrill rides, but I don’t know how much I can handle…

If that’s you, try starting from the lower-ranked rides in the list!

USJ / Universal Studios Japan Roller Coaster Fear Ranking

Alright, let’s dive into the ranking!

Starting from the top, the rides get scarier, and as you go down the list, the thrill level gradually decreases.

If there’s an attraction that catches your interest, I’ve written about it in detail below.

USJ Scariest Ride Ranked #1: Hollywood Dream – The Ride

• Fear: ★★★★★ (Extremely scary)
• Fun: ★☆☆☆☆ (Has a sense of exhilaration)
• Floating sensation: ★★★★★ (Very strong)
• Repeatability: ☆☆☆☆☆ (Never want to ride again)

Ranked #1 for sheer terror is Hollywood Dream – The Ride, commonly known as Haridori (maybe only Kansai people call it that?).

Hollywood Dream – The Ride has two versions: the standard forward-facing drop and the backward-facing “Backdrop.”

For this ranking, we’re talking about the forward-facing standard version.

I’ve ridden all of USJ’s thrill rides (only the forward-facing Haridori).

This is the one attraction I absolutely never want to ride again. Never, ever!!!

I didn’t die or faint on Haridori, but it was so terrifying that I cried.

So, I decided to ignore my friend’s words: “It’s fine! The backward version isn’t as scary!”

Namakeneco

I will never again listen to anyone who says, “Haridori is the most fun!”

If you’re not good with thrill rides, start by trying the attractions ranked below #2.

If you find yourself thinking, “That was totally fine!”, then go ahead and challenge Hollywood Dream – The Ride.

If you hate roller coasters, whatever you do, don’t make Haridori your first ride!

If you find the forward-facing Haridori “fun!”, why not challenge yourself with the backward-facing Backdrop as well?

Some people say they actually prefer the Backdrop because having their back against the seat gives them a sense of security.

Unfortunately, I’ve become someone who can never ride Haridori again, so I can’t confirm that myself. (Sorry!)

On Haridori, there’s a button right in front of your seat that lets you choose music, so you can ride while listening to your favorite song.

Honestly, it’s way too scary to even pay attention to the music, but if you can focus on it, the drop happens right at the chorus, which makes the exhilaration incredible (according to my friend).

Many people choose DREAMS COME TRUE’s “Osaka Lover.”

Because of this experience, even now when I hear “Osaka Lover,” I get chills as it reminds me of Haridori’s floating sensation.

It’s a trauma.

USJ Scariest Ride Ranked #2: The Flying Dinosaur

• Scariness: ★★★★☆ (Extremely scary at the beginning)
• Fun: ★☆☆☆☆ (Just a little)
• Floating sensation: ★☆☆☆☆ (Almost none)
• Repeatability: ★★☆☆☆ (Wouldn’t really want to ride again)

The Flying Dinosaur is an attraction that rotates a full 360°.

When you watch it from the ground without riding…

なまけねこ

Too scary!! No way, no way, no way…

When you actually ride it, the speed is so intense that your brain can’t even process what’s happening before it’s over.

The combination of extreme velocity and strong wind tosses you around, and before you know it, you’ve already arrived at the end.

My simple impression after riding was: “Exhausting…”

Before departure, your body is tilted forward by 90° into a suspended position, and that’s the scariest part.

You’re connected to the ride only by a bar securing your upper body and another locking your ankles, which makes it feel like you could fall headfirst at any moment.

It’s not just nervousness—it feels like pure fear of death.

On the other hand, there’s almost no floating sensation, so for people who dislike that “roller coaster floating feeling,” this might actually be more tolerable.

For people who are afraid of thrill rides, many also struggle with heights.

On The Flying Dinosaur, the full rotation makes the ground clearly visible—even the people walking below—so anyone with acrophobia will feel their heart drop.

The best tactic is not to look down. Keep your gaze upward and focus on the sky.

On the other hand, if heights don’t bother you, riding with your eyes open can give you the sensation of soaring like a bird through the air.

USJ Scariest Ride Ranked #3: Jurassic Park – The Ride

• Scariness: ★★★★☆ (Normally scary)
• Fun: ★☆☆☆☆ (Fun until the drop)
• Floating sensation: ★★★★☆ (Quite a lot)
• Repeatability: ★★☆☆☆ (Still bearable)

Ranked 3rd is “Jurassic Park: The Ride”, commonly called Jurapa.

It’s genuinely scary—something you’d rather avoid. But if a friend invites you, it’s the kind of ride you can manage with some effort.

At first, the boat simply moves forward while you watch dinosaurs. Some are even cute, making it feel like a fun little drive as you chat—though your heart is pounding the whole time.

Toward the end, the atmosphere grows increasingly ominous, and finally you’re screamed at by a dinosaur before plunging almost vertically.

The drop itself lasts only a few seconds, so if you hold your breath you can get through it.

What makes it worse are the deafening dinosaur roars and the blaring buzzer right before the fall—they’re terrifying and hard on the heart.

It feels like your lifespan gets shortened… probably.

Just before the drop, the boat pauses for a moment.

At that instant, if you sharply inhale and press your body firmly against the seat, the fall is over so quickly that you should be able to endure it.

USJ Scariest Ride Ranked #4: Flight of the Hippogriff

• Scariness: ★★★☆☆ (The rattling shakes are scary)
• Fun: ★★☆☆☆ (There’s a bit of exhilaration)
• Floating sensation: ★★☆☆☆ (Slightly felt at the moment of the drop)
• Repeatability: ★★★☆☆ (Manageable if invited)

It’s THE classic roller coaster.

Because of the rattling, it can feel a bit unsafe—but rest assured, the ride has never actually fallen.

You do experience a slight floating sensation, but it’s nowhere near the level of “prepare for death.”

Overall, it’s moderately fun and moderately scary.

If invited, you’d probably go along.

Shouting can help ease the fear a little.

However, since most people don’t find it scary, yelling might feel embarrassing. In that case, it’s better to keep your eyes focused far ahead.

Not knowing where the ride will go next intensifies the fear, so looking at the track ahead to anticipate the direction can make you feel more secure.

USJ Scariest Ride Ranked #5: Elmo’s Go-Go Skateboard

• Scariness: ★★★☆☆ (You can’t let your guard down)
• Fun: ★★★☆☆ (The music and atmosphere are enjoyable)
• Floating sensation: ★★★★☆ (Too many drops—it feels endless)
• Repeatability: ★★★☆☆ (Manageable—you could ride again)

You mustn’t take it lightly.

なまけねこ

It’s just a kids’ ride, piece of cake!

You always end up regretting it once you ride.

The floating sensation during the drops is quite strong and genuinely scary.

But above all—it’s long.

Both the ride time and the sheer number of drops feel excessive.

Since the boat simply swings side to side and keeps dropping, compared to top-tier roller coasters it’s monotonous—yet it continues rattling and plunging endlessly.

For those of us afraid of floating sensations, it’s basically a “greatest hits” package of everything unpleasant about thrill rides.

Simply put: it’s long.

Keep talking with the person you’re riding with—anything works, like “Isn’t this a bit long?” or “This is pretty scary.”

By focusing on conversation, you can distract yourself from the reality of the drop and it feels easier to handle.

Plus, Elmo cheerfully chats away during the ride (though the details slip your mind), which makes it a little less intimidating compared to other thrill rides.

USJ Scariest Ride Ranked #6: Space Fantasy – The Ride

• Scariness: ★★☆☆☆ (Not that intense)
• Fun: ★★★★★ (Super enjoyable)
• Floating sensation: ★☆☆☆☆ (Hardly any)
• Repeatability: ★★★★★ (Would ride every time)

It’s really fun.

Although I’m not good with thrill rides, “Space Fantasy: The Ride,” commonly called “SpeFan,” felt enjoyable from the very first time I rode it.

(It was a little scary at first, though.)

I know several friends who are even worse with thrill rides than I am, but they say, “If it’s SpeFan, I can handle it.”

I’m sure you can ride it too!

The speed is fairly strong, but since you drop while spinning, there’s almost no floating sensation.

You’re in darkness the whole time, but if you strain your eyes you can see the rails.

That way, your brain understands which direction you’ll go next, and you can brace yourself before the drop.

I once went during a limited-time collaboration with Attack on Titan. Since the concept was to wear VR goggles and immerse yourself in the anime’s world, the rails were completely invisible—and it was frightening.

If it’s your first time, I recommend going during the regular version rather than a collaboration event!

USJ Scariest Ride Ranked #7: Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey

• Scariness: ★★☆☆☆ (Just enough to feel a bit uneasy about your footing)
• Fun: ★★★★★ (Extremely enjoyable)
• Floating sensation: ★★☆☆☆ (A slight fluttery feeling)
• Repeatability: ★★★★★ (You’d want to ride it every time)

It’s insanely fun—I want to go every time.

Of course Harry Potter fans will love it, but even casual fans who’ve only seen a bit of the movies can fully enjoy it.

The attraction itself is just so entertaining!

On site, you can buy the wizard school uniforms and wands that appear in the films. Put them on and take photos, and it feels like you’ve wandered straight into the movie world!

Compared to other attractions, it’s relatively new, so it’s very popular and the wait times are long.

But it’s absolutely worth waiting.

The castle and the entire area are built with incredible detail, giving you the sensation of stepping right into the film’s universe.

From the perspective of “scariness,” you sit on a long bench with a safety bar across your upper body, floating in the air—so it’s just a slight fluttery feeling in your feet.

I’ve never met anyone who said, “That was super scary!”

So go with confidence and enjoy!

USJ Scariest Ride Ranked #8: Jaws

• Scariness: ★☆☆☆☆ (Just about as scary as the shark itself)
• Fun: ★★★☆☆ (Pretty enjoyable)
• Floating sensation: ☆☆☆☆☆ (None at all)
• Repeatability: ★★★★☆ (Would happily go again)

You ride a boat and experience the world of Jaws.

During the adventure, the shark appears and gets taken down with a bang.

Basically, the crew members handle everything, so all you need to do is sit back and let them lead.

Since you’re just watching, there’s really nothing scary about it.

The only potentially frightening aspects are if you find the shark itself scary, or if loud sounds like explosions make you uneasy.

USJ Scariest Ride Ranked #9: WaterWorld

• Scariness: ★☆☆☆☆ (Fight scenes or explosions might be scary for children)
• Fun: ★★★☆☆ (Pretty enjoyable)
• Floating sensation: ☆☆☆☆☆ (None at all)
• Repeatability: ★★★☆☆ (Nice to go in summer)

It’s a show-type attraction viewed by a large audience.

Fight scenes and explosions might be a bit too intense and surprising for small children.

Adults, however, should generally be fine.

The stunt performers’ skills are so incredible that no matter how many times you watch, it’s always impressive.

If you sit in the front rows, you may get splashed with water.

It’s the kind of attraction that makes you want to go during the summer.

USJ Scariest Ride Ranked #10: Mario Kart: Koopa’s Challenge

• Scariness: ☆☆☆☆☆ (None at all)
• Fun: ★★★★★ (Super enjoyable)
• Floating sensation: ☆☆☆☆☆ (Absolutely none)
• Repeatability: ★★★★★ (Would want to go every time)

なまけねこ

Why did Universal Studios Japan categorize Mario as ‘Thrilling and Full of Excitement’?

It’s really not scary at all.

Truly, it’s an attraction that both adults and children can enjoy.

Whether you’ve played Mario Kart before or not, you’ll definitely have fun.

You watch Mario Kart visuals while steering with the handle in front of you—it’s like a modern version of go-karts.

If you haven’t been yet, I highly recommend making it a priority the next time you visit USJ.

Personally, it’s my No.1 attraction I want to ride on my next trip to Universal Studios Japan.

USJ Scariest Ride Ranked #11: Minion Mayhem Ride

• Scariness: ☆☆☆☆☆ (None at all)
• Fun: ★★★★☆ (Enjoyable)
• Floating sensation: ★☆☆☆☆ (Almost none)
• Repeatability: ★★★★★ (Definitely want to go again)

It’s an attraction where you ride along and enjoy the chaotic, funny life of the Minions in a theater-style experience.

The ride itself doesn’t move forward—it only sways gently side to side and front to back, so there’s absolutely nothing to worry about.

It’s super safe and guaranteed to leave you smiling.

Since the wait time is relatively short compared to other attractions, it’s definitely worth checking out!

USJ Roller Coaster Fear Ranking (English Translation)

Thank you very much for reading all the way to the end!

Although I’m terrified of thrill rides, everything except Hollywood Dream – The Ride felt just scary enough that I might be willing to ride them again.

According to my roller coaster–loving friend, the attractions at USJ are considered beginner-friendly compared to those at other amusement parks.

(I personally don’t agree with that.)

And with that…

なまけねこ

If you’re someone who says, “I’m not good with roller coasters!”, why not start by challenging the lower-ranked rides on the list first?

Personally, I really love the attractions ranked from 6th to 11th, and they’re all ones I’d happily ride again.

It’s actually more manageable than you might expect, so go ahead and enjoy with peace of mind!

Well then, see you next time!
