    UPDATE 3/11/2020

    Universal Studios Japan has extended the closure of the park to Sunday, March 22, 2020.

    Original story below.


    Universal Studios Japan is taking measures in order to combat the spread of the COVID-19 Coronavirus and will be temporarily closing the park for a couple of weeks – from Saturday, February 29th, 2020 to Sunday, March 15th, 2020.

    From Universal Studios Japan’s official site:

    Universal Studios Japan announces the temporary closure of our park in order to prevent the spread of Novel Coronavirus within the nation. We will carefully monitor the situation. The period that we are closed may change according to the situation and in that case, we will make further announcements. All tickets can be refundable only by your travel agency not in the park.

    Parks in Asia have been doing what they can to help control the outbreak, with Disney parks in Shanghai and Hong Kong closing last month. Tokyo Disneyland also announced it will be temporarily closed.

    For more information regarding the Coronavirus, please visit the official CDC website.
