Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo: The Ultimate Guide (2026)
Calling all Wizards and Witches! Did you know Tokyo has the largest indoor Harry Potter attraction in the world? Yes, it is even bigger than the one in London.
But before you grab your wand, there is one critical rule you need to know: You MUST book tickets in advance.
⚡ Don’t be a Muggle. Book Early.
Tickets are NOT sold at the gate. If the official site is sold out, check Klook immediately.

⚠️ CRITICAL: It is NOT a Theme Park!
This is the #1 mistake tourists make. Tokyo is NOT Universal Studios Japan (Osaka). Don’t come here expecting rollercoasters.
The Difference:
-
🧙♂️ Studio Tour (Tokyo):
A “Museum” experience. You walk through sets, see costumes, and learn filmmaking secrets. NO RIDES. -
🎢 USJ (Osaka):
A “Theme Park”. You ride rollercoasters, drink butterbeer, and scream. HAS RIDES.
Why it’s better than London (Highlights)
Even without rides, this place is incredible. It takes about 4 to 5 hours to walk through everything. Here is what you can’t miss:
- Exclusive Sets: Tokyo has the “Ministry of Magic” set—something you won’t find in the London tour!
- Platform 9 ¾: Take a photo pushing the trolley into the wall. You can actually step INSIDE the Hogwarts Express train here.
- Broomstick Experience: Ride a broom against a green screen and take a video home.
- Tokyo Exclusive Merch: The gift shop is the largest in the world. Look for the “Hedwig Cane” (only available in Tokyo!).
Drink the Butterbeer 🍺
Halfway through the tour, you’ll find the world’s largest Butterbeer Bar. It’s an open-air terrace unique to Tokyo.
Pro-Tip: The drink is non-alcoholic and tastes like sweet butterscotch. The best part? You get to wash the plastic tankard and take it home as a free souvenir!
Getting There (Don’t get lost)
The studio is located in Nerima, not central Shibuya or Shinjuku. The nearest station is “Toshimaen”.
- From Shinjuku: Take the Oedo Subway Line directly to Toshimaen (20 mins).
- From Ikebukuro: Take the Seibu Ikebukuro Line. (Look for the Harry Potter wrapped train!).
