Is Bay Area & Universal Studios safe?

Quiet, modern and very safe — a planned waterfront with theme-park crowds rather than nightlife. Comfortable for families and solo female travelers.

Getting around from Bay Area & Universal Studios

A short JR ride to Universal Studios Japan and the Osaka Aquarium. It is a little removed from the Namba/Umeda core, so factor in 20–30 minutes to the city center.
