Day 6 December 24, 2014 Universal Studios Japan Day 2 Another day, another adventure. It is the second and final day of our Universal Studios Japan adventure. However, before we head to the theme park we need to refill our tummies first.  As part of our hotel package, we got to eat our buffet breakfast at one of the restaurants in Hotel Keihan (Universal Tower) .  Breakfast time at Top of Universal !
