The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is to be rolled out to Universal Studios Japan following its pheonomenal success in Orlando and planned introduction in Hollywood.
The new land, which will represent the largest expansions ever at the Osaka theme park, is expected to make a significant impact on tourism in both the local region and the entire country.
A replica Hogwarts castle, Hogsmeade and multiple themed attractions will be included and opening is set for late 2014.
