I thought we had our Osaka days of our trip all mapped out (see itinerary below), but I just found out that Universal Studios will be having Halloween Horror Nights while we’re in town in September, and having previously been to that in Orlando, it is one of my favorite things. The issue is that we have limited nights in Osaka, and we HAVE to do the soccer game on Night 3 (my husband’s favorite thing). I’m wondering if any of you have been to Halloween Horror Nights in Osaka during the day which has some more limited attractions and if it’s worth it. If not, is there a good way to rearrange our itinerary below to squeeze it in during an evening? I definitely want to do Dotonburi one of the evenings as well since this will be our first time in Osaka…

Everyone knows the real horror on Halloween night happens in Shibuya
We were there in 2022, and the horror stuff didn’t really get going until it got dark. It was fantastic though!
