The One Piece Pirate Canteen is full of spirited pirates and these pirates have even invaded your plates! The kids set even comes served in a treasure chest box. These themed meals don’t just look good, they taste pretty good too.
There’s even a Beepo coconut mousse dessert that just might be too cute to eat!

A must have accessory on your visit to Universal Studios Japan is a popcorn bucket and the minion summer themed one is too cute to resist. Dressed in his swimmies, complete with a flower on his spectacles, this minion sits on an adorable unicorn float! Get yours from the popcorn stand right in front of the Minion Mayhem park!
3. BTS song on the Hollywood Dream ride
Starting 3 July to 1 September 2019, the BTS song “Lights” will be used as background music for the famous Hollywood Dream ride. While you can’t exactly ride the coasters with your favourite BTS member, having them sing to you just might be the next best alternative.
4. Water Surprise Parade and Extra Cool Crew
