ONE PIECE returns to USJ for Summer 2025 with live show, new ride and ‘Sanji’s Restaurant’
ONE PIECE will return to Universal Studio’s Japan this summer, with exclusive rides, shows and a Sanji themed restaurant.
USJ has revealed the annual “ONE PIECE Premier Summer” event, which is themed around the massively popular “ONE PIECE” manga and anime series currently serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump, will be back for 2025.
The event is scheduled to run from Tuesday, July 1st, to Monday, October 6th, 2025.

The event will also include “Sanji’s Pirate Restaurant,” an entertainment restaurant where guests can enjoy Sanji’s special hospitality, and the “One Piece Story Ride,” a coaster that allows participants to enter the story’s world and experience “super thrills and super realism” alongside “Luffy” and “Usopp.”
