Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo – The Making of Harry Potter sits on the former Toshimaen amusement park site in northwest Tokyo. It opened in 2023 and is the largest indoor Harry Potter attraction in the world, with real sets, props, and costumes from the films.
Here's the first thing to know: entry is by a fixed date and time slot that you reserve in advance. Popular days and times fill up, and if you rely on the walk-up counter you may not get the time you want. If your travel dates are set, lock in your tickets before you fly.
Admission is by a timed slot booked in advance, and changes and refunds are restricted. Decide your date and time before you buy, then reserve it early.
2026 ticket prices
Prices move with the calendar. The same ticket type costs a little more or less depending on the entry date, so the figures below are ranges. All prices include tax.
Ticket | Adult | Junior (jr/sr high) | Child |
|---|---|---|---|
Standard | ¥6,600–7,300 | ¥5,500–6,000 | ¥4,000–4,400 |
Package | ¥10,080–10,780 | ¥8,980–9,480 | ¥7,480–7,880 |
A Standard ticket is entry only. The Package adds extras such as the official guidebook. The age brackets for Junior and Child are shown on the booking site, so check them before you pay.
There is also a seasonal Afternoon Tea ticket (sold only during set periods, so confirm availability on the booking site) and a flat group rate for parties of 20 or more (Adult ¥6,000, Junior ¥5,000, Child ¥3,600).
How to book
You buy tickets on the official booking site, which is available in English, so overseas visitors can pick a date and time and pay before arriving in Japan. Right now you can book any entry date through 31 December 2026.
The site accepts Visa, Mastercard, JCB, American Express, and UnionPay, plus Apple Pay and Google Pay.
The travel-booking site Klook also sells the same ticket and delivers a digital voucher before you travel, which suits visitors who want their tickets sorted before the trip.
Choosing your date: sold-out days, closures, and the no-refund rule
The official site says capacity per slot is limited and strongly recommends booking early. Weekends, public holidays, and school breaks tend to go first. A walk-up counter exists on the day, but your preferred date and time may already be sold out, so book ahead if you want to be sure of getting in.
Opening and closing times change by date, so check your visit date on the official calendar. For 2026, the tour is closed on 7–9 September and 9–12 November.
The catch is what happens after you book. Changing your date or time costs ¥1,500 each time, and once your original slot has passed you cannot change it at all. Tickets are also non-refundable and non-transferable. Because the ticket is hard to change later, lock in your itinerary before you book.
How long to allow inside
The official FAQ suggests setting aside three to four hours. If you want to take your time, allow six to seven hours; there is no cap on how long you stay inside.
Getting there: a two-minute walk from Toshimaen Station
The address is 1-1-7 Kasugacho, Nerima-ku, Tokyo (東京都練馬区春日町). The nearest station is Toshimaen (豊島園), served by the Seibu Toshima Line (西武豊島線) and the Toei Oedo Line (都営大江戸線), and the studio is a two-minute walk from the station.
It is easy to reach from the main hubs: a direct 17-minute ride from Seibu-Ikebukuro (西武池袋), and a direct 20-minute ride from Shinjuku (新宿) on the Toei Oedo Line. A Welcome Suica or other IC card is the simplest way to ride Tokyo's trains, so it helps to have one ready as soon as you land.
Your slot sets your entry time, but you can enter up to an hour before it, so you won't wait long if you arrive early. There is a bag security check on arrival.
Good to know inside
The digital audio guide comes in English, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean, and you pick it up at the counter on the day. You can take photos almost everywhere except a few spots like the pre-show, so you can photograph the sets you came to see.
Free coin lockers with a refundable ¥100 deposit sit outside, so you can drop a large bag before you start the tour. Inside there are cafés and restaurants, and you can try butterbeer, the sweet non-alcoholic drink from the films.
