Event Transportation: Welcome to the Making of Harry Potter Studio Tour Tokyo by Jumbo Taxi

tokyo_tour_ent | 5名以上乗れるジャンボタクシーとワゴンで東京・埼玉から日本全国や空港まで

This tour, where magic blends into reality, is a must-visit for fans of the Harry Potter movies, which are based on the novels. I visited on August 7, a few weeks after the facility opened.
Below is a rough record of the day. We took a jumbo taxi with five friends.

Entrance: Souvenir Corner for Fans

Once inside, a dragon welcomes you, stores are on your left, and the food court is on your right.
Let's take a look at the stores before the tour begins. Why do we suddenly look at the souvenir shop? It is so that you will not regret it later when you experience various attractions in the future,

"Oh! This item would have made the experience more realistic!"

From inside the store, the world of Harry Potter has already been recreated, creating a fantastical world.
They have models of Quidditch, Basilisks, Honeydukes, and more, and wands of various characters are available for purchase.

Finally, the tour begins: History of the Wizarding World

Once you buy your wand, a tour guide will take you to the gate a few minutes before the scheduled time. Then a giant panel shows the growth of the child actors who have played Harry Potter over the years. It is amazing to see how much they have grown over the course of the production.

Through there, all the teaser visuals for "Fantastic Beasts" from the Philosopher's Stone are on display.

Hogwarts Great Hall, into the Wizarding World

After watching a short movie about how this studio tour was created, a large white screen rises to reveal a door leading to a lighted hall. This door can be opened with priority given to those celebrating anniversaries or birthdays. (This door has priority to open to people on their anniversaries or birthdays.)
When you touch the door, you can feel the weight of the detailed decoration.

Oops!
From now on, I want you to go there and experience it for yourself.
I would like to show you the experience after this, but I don't want to.
Jumbo taxi transportation will take you there safely!
