Why You Should Visit

Universal Studios Japan's annual autumn event marks its 15th year in 2026. After 18:00, zombies take over almost the entire park in Street Zombies, and Zombie de Dance gets crowds dancing to King Gnu's "SO BAD". By day there are horror attractions including the new Resident Evil Requiem: The Dive, and until 17:00 you can say "Trick or treat!" to crew members for candy. Nights suit adults who want to scream; daytime works for families.

FAQ

Is it OK to go with children?

Do I need an extra ticket for Street Zombies?

It takes place across the park, so a Studio Pass is enough. The special viewing-area ticket for the show and Express Passes for shorter waits are sold separately.

How long does it run?

From September 11 to November 8, 2026. Resident Evil Requiem: The Dive runs until December 27, and Sadako's Curse until January 4, 2027.
