Can you visit the place featured online?
The EXPO 2025 Myaku-Myaku × USJ Hamikuma collaboration began 13 October 2026. The official Universal Studios Store offers selected goods, while a Myaku-Myaku/Hamikuma chocolate-berry sundae began 14 October at Wharf Cafe. The commemorative takoyaki-style Myaku-Myaku bun was expressly a 13 October-only food item, so do not plan on buying it on the 15th. Some online merchandise orders require that you first enter USJ and complete park-visit registration, then place your order by 23:45 on the qualifying day. A valid dated USJ Studio Pass is not replaced by a merchandise receipt.
What is confirmed about the recent attention
Universal Studios Japan formally announced a collaboration on 30 September, began official in-park/online product releases on 13 October 2026, and Japanese travel reporters independently covered the actual merchandise on 13 October. This is a verified fresh local fan/merchandise event and public press attention, NOT a measured TikTok view surge or verified merchandise availability today.
What the trend data cannot prove: an individual video view count does not establish queue lengths, ticket inventory, total visitor numbers, or access to private filming locations.

From a saved clip to the right location
- Start from the correct USJ announcement
Use usj.co.jp's 30 Sep original collaboration notice; avoid social accounts implying all food is permanent.
- Select whether you're visiting park or merely browsing products
A limited number of goods are park-only and the online store may require registered same-day visit. Do not book entry solely on a reseller promise of rare stock.
- If visiting, purchase the actual dated Studio Pass
Check real operator availability and price; Express and Super Nintendo World area-access rules are explained in the separate ticket guide.
- Locate collaboration items inside the actual park
The official notice identifies Universal Studios Store for merchandise and Wharf Cafe for the 14 Oct-onward sundae.
- Do not search for the October 13-only bun today
The Stage 33 Myaku-Myaku takoyaki-style bun was marked 13 October-only; older queue/lottery screenshots are not live daily instructions.
- Inspect item SKU, size, limits and shop stock
Popular goods may sell out, switch sales mode or require timed purchase slips. A product catalog does not mean every item is physically on a shelf.
- For approved online items, register your park visit first
The online store states 'パーク来場登録' may be required and specifies some registered visitor orders until 23:45 on the day; login and checkout are separate.
- Pay and save actual confirmation, not a screenshot of a shop announcement
Verify shipping region, delivery month, cancellation or order deadline in the actual official cart; merchandise transactions have different terms from admission.
What quick posts and headlines leave out
What really launched, and what the reporting proves
On 30 September 2026 USJ announced original food and merchandise pairing the Expo mascot Myaku-Myaku with its Halloween icon Hamikuma, tied to the first anniversary of the Osaka Expo closing. On 13 October the operator's park shop and official online store started specified merchandise sales.
Japanese Travel Watch reported product pricing on launch morning and photographed actual items later the same day. This corroborates a real fan-facing rollout but it is not a quantitative claim that TikTok views or worldwide tourist numbers exploded. We avoid rehosting trademarked press images or sales photographs without permission.
Three different products that social posts mix up
First is tangible licensed merchandise in the Universal Studios Store, such as a mascot keychain and pair charm. Second is the chocolate-and-mixed-berry sundae at Wharf Cafe, announced from 14 October. Third is a takoyaki-style Myaku-Myaku bun served specifically on 13 October at Stage 33.
The bun's numbered-ticket and cashless system was a one-day event rule; copying it into a permanent daily 'how to order' article would mislead visitors arriving later. Similarly, a sold-out mascot keychain is not a universal promise just because an official press image still appears online.
What does the online shop actually require?
The official online store says certain Myaku-Myaku × Hamikuma products are accessible only after 'park-visit registration' (パーク来場登録). Its 13 October announcement states some qualifying mail-order merchandise can be ordered from the registered visit day until 23:45, with individual product delivery dates shown separately.
A visitor cannot assume that simply creating an online account from a different country will unlock park-only products. Users should confirm registration inside the park and whether international shipping is supported for that particular cart. Checkout terms are not the same as park entrance conditions.
Real prices are goods prices, not park entry
The checked official collection lists the mascot keychain at ¥3,200 and paired charm at ¥2,000. Other products include apparel, stationery and gift items. Those prices describe individual products and can change; some goods are limited and specific designs can sell out.
The Studio Pass is required for entrance and can vary by date. The optional Express Pass is not a basic admission replacement, and extra Nintendo World entitlements can be separate. Our earlier detailed USJ booking walkthrough explains the ticket decision so this guide can focus on the immediate October character phenomenon.
How to build a sensible visit rather than a desperate queue
If you already have admission, check the shop when you enter, then plan rides and food according to actual line and stock updates. If you have not booked a park visit, do not assume paying dynamic admission is financially rational merely to chase merchandise that could be gone.
Official rules allow organisers to change item assortment, shop methods, quantity limits and merchandise availability without advance notice. A themed snack is weather and venue operation dependent. The sale date does not establish that every item is still available on a later day.
Avoid counterfeit or unofficial lottery promises
A social post may show fan-made artwork, auction resales or purported 'priority ticket' offers. Officially licensed EXPO 2025 products should trace to the original operator's shop; avoid sending payment to social-media sellers without legal protections or an actual SKU.
This article reflects official notices checked 15 October 2026 and has not personally purchased USJ goods. If you intend to visit Osaka solely for this collaboration, check both the park operation schedule and current item catalogue immediately before buying accommodation.
Common visit questions
Are Myaku-Myaku and Hamikuma products available from 13 October?
Official in-park and qualifying online releases began October 13, 2026, but each product has current limits and stock.

The operator clearly said the Stage 33 bun was available October 13 only.
Where is the collaboration sundae sold?
At Wharf Cafe in USJ, with sales beginning Wednesday, October 14, 2026, subject to actual operations.
Can I order official merch online without visiting?
Some items require park-visit registration. Check each product and shipment rules before assuming worldwide ordering.
