Fans of Snoopy and the Peanuts gang have something to look forward to at Universal Studios Japan, with the much-anticipated reopening of Snoopy Studios set to take place on Friday, July 18th, 2025. This is just in time to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Peanuts comic strip, and the upgraded area brings together nostalgic childhood memories and brand-new attractions.

The highlight of the reopening is Snoopy’s Flying Ace Adventure, an indoor ride inspired by Snoopy’s legendary pilot character. Riders hop into his iconic red-roofed doghouse and embark on a fast-paced journey in search of the Flying Ace and his rival, the Red Baron. The ride combines immersive storytelling with thrills and is suitable for a wide range of ages.

A new outdoor photo spot, Snoopy at the Beagle Scout Campground, brings the spirit of the Peanuts adventures to life and is perfect for kids and families. The surrounding playland has also been refreshed with hands-on exhibits and scenes from the comics, where visitors can pose with life-sized characters and explore familiar Peanuts moments brought into the real world.
