Took the train from Ikebukuro Station and the train carriage was already Harry Potter themed. From Toshimaen Station, it’s a bit of a walk but not too far. I went during autumn Nov 2025 and walked past rows of yellow trees, which made the whole experience feel even more magical.
I bought the tickets directly from their website. When I booked mine, the confirmation email didn’t come through at first. I emailed them and they sorted it out the next day, so that was smooth.
In the beginning, there’s a short intro in Japanese, not English, but honestly it wasn’t a big issue.
The place is stroller friendly. The space is wide and easy to move around. We could just explore at our own pace.
The studio is huge and the level of detail is honestly impressive. Everything feels very real and thoughtfully made. You can see the Gryffindor common room, Dumbledore’s office, the Ministry of Magic, Diagon Alley, and the Forbidden Forest. There’s also a section where they record a short video of you as if you’re part of the Quidditch audience during Gryffindor vs Slytherin.
In the middle of the tour, there’s a Butterbeer stop where you can take a break and grab one. You can keep the cup, and there’s a washing station to rinse it before bringing it home. They even give you a transparent plastic bag to wrap the cup, which is really helpful. The cup isn’t glass, so it’s safe to carry.
I spent around 4 hours inside. If you really want to explore everything slowly, you can easily stay longer, especially since there can be queues for things like the double decker Knight bus photo spot or going inside the Dursley family house.
If you’re a Potterhead, you’ll definitely enjoy this place.
