The Best Things to Book With Klook in Japan (Tried and Tested By Our Family)
Planning a trip to Japan can feel overwhelming: We’ve never been so organised, or so scheduled, as we are when we’re visiting Japan. There’s just so many moving parts, and so much to think about. Between theme park tickets, transport passes, and immersive experiences, there’s a lot to consider. Which is why we always book our attractions and experiences with Klook. But what are the best things to book with Klook in Japan?
I was actually booking some of our own Klook experiences (we’re going back to Japan next month) which is what inspired me to write this piece. Over our multiple trips to Japan as a family, we’ve tested booking attractions directly and booking though booking platforms, and Klook has consistently been one of the easiest, and most reliable options. It’s the one that we keep coming back to. Check out Is Klook Legit? Why Use Klook? Our Experience of Using Klook in Japan
Wondering what’s actually worth booking through Klook? Here are the experiences we’ve personally tried, and either are booking again or would absolutely book again:
👉 We use Klook for our many Japan activities. You can use our exclusive reader discount code THATMUMTRAVEL5KLOOK to make an extra saving on your bookings.
1. Universal Studios Japan Tickets
Universal Studios Japan is the most visited theme park in all of Asia and the third most visited theme park in the world. And there’s a reason for this: the Super Nintendo World in this park alone is nothing short of iconic. We cannot wait to be going back again, and to visit the new Donkey Kong Country section of the park for the first time.
Because it’s so popular, Universal Studios Japan tickets, and particularly the Express Passes which allow you to skip ride queues, can book up fast. However the Universal Studios Japan website can be difficult to navigate and doesn’t always accept Western Credit Cards: A problem we had on our first trip, and actually the reason why we discovered Klook in the first place!
When you book with Klook you’ll get:
- English confirmation of your tickets and Express Pass times
- An instantly downloadable QR code ticket, so you won’t have to worry about paper tickets on the gates

2. Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea Tickets
For us, no visit to Japan is complete without spending some time in the Tokyo Disney Resort. Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea are beautiful theme parks with rides and attractions that you won’t find anywhere else in the world.
If you have the time in your schedule, I recommend spending one day in each park so that you can really appreciate what they both have to offer: Tokyo DisneySea, in particular, has some of the most immersive theme park theming that I have ever experienced.
So why book your tickets with Klook? We find using Klook easier than booking via the direct Tokyo Disney Resort site because:
- Klook works with international cards (or Apple Pay, or any other way you want to pay!)
- Klook offers instant confirmation with tickets sent straight to your phone
- You get a mobile ticket (no printing needed)
- Clear pricing in your local currency. The Klook website allows you to change your language and currency to almost any in the world, so you know exactly what you’ll be spending.

3. Shinkansen (Bullet Train) Tickets
Travelling between cities like Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka on a high-speed train is one of the highlights of a Japan trip, and it’s the easiest way to get from A to B too. If you’ve got kids that love trains, a bullet train ride definitely shouldn’t be missed as an attraction in its own right, but of course it’s also a practical way of getting around.
I strongly recommend booking your shinkansen tickets in advance, especially if you’re travelling during a peak period (cherry blossom season, for example) or if you’re travelling with large luggage, which needs to be booked in advance.
Official bookings open one month in advance, but if you book your tickets with Klook then you can buy your tickets well in advance of this, pre-requesting the train times and seats you want, then Klook will do all the work of actually making the reservations for you.
Another benefit that we love is that Klook sends you a QR code to board the train. No language barriers, no hassle, which I always love! Scan the QR code in your voucher and you’re good to go.

4. TeamLabs Digital Art Museums
TeamLabs is a digital art gallery unlike anything I’ve ever visited before or since. You move through a series of rooms, each with its own unique sensory experience. You might wade through water, or wander through a room of mirrors, as light and imagery is projected onto it.
What is so wonderful about Teamlabs is that it works for all ages, and can be enjoyed on a myriad of levels. The new Athletics Forest expansion, in particular, is a great addition for children.
So why book with Klook? Well the main beneift is that Klook offer access to early and late booking slots that you can’t get anywhere else. As one of my top tips is to book the earliest slot and visit without the crowds, this is so important. Klook also offers ‘skip the line’ entrance passes, which cost a little more but allow you to visit TeamLabs at whatever time you wish, ideal if you don’t like planning your days by the hour!

5. Sanrio Puroland
Sanrio Puroland (often referred to as Hello Kitty Land) is an indoor theme park dedicated to all things Hello Kitty, and her other Sanrio friends. It’s a kawaii, colourful, psychedellic dream-land of a destination. Not quite a theme park (there are only two, very small rides), Sanrio Puroland is packed full of restaurants, characters to meet, shows, and so much to see and do.
Sanrio Puroland isn’t actually located in Tokyo (although that’s where most people visit the park from). It’s located in Tama City and getting there will take around between 30 minutes – 1 hour from Tokyo. For that reason? I strongly recommend booking your tickets before you arrive at the park:
