Universal Studios Japan (operated by USJ LLC) will hold a special commemorative month "THANKS LOVE MONTH 2026" for a limited time from Friday, May 8 to Sunday, June 21, 2026, to convey "gratitude" and "love" not only on "Mother's Day" and "Father's Day" but to all important people around you.
Thanks to the great support from guests and partner companies, "Thanks Love Month" is celebrating its 5th year*1. To expand this momentum not only within the park but also to various regions, a hands-on event "The Flower Shop Blooming with 'Thank You'" where you will want to express gratitude to your loved ones, will be held in Tokyo for a limited time from Thursday, May 7 to Sunday, May 10, 2026. By making a one-of-a-kind flower bloom with words of thanks and shaping your feelings, it provides an experience that makes you want to honestly convey the slightly embarrassing feeling of "thank you".
Participants will stand in front of a dedicated machine "Thanks Flower Planter" and speak "words of thanks" to their loved ones. Those who speak "words of thanks" will be given a set of two "Thanks Love Month 2026" limited flower cards on the spot. The flower drawn on the flower card is selected from tens of thousands of illustration designs. One of the cards is to be given as a gift to a loved one, and the other is to be displayed on a huge board in the venue. You can enjoy the sight of the entire venue turning into a colorful flower shop of gratitude as the "thank yous" of each participant overlap.
Also, by reading the QR code*2 printed on the card with a smartphone, a flower of the same design will be displayed on the screen, and the image can be downloaded. It can also be shared on various SNS, allowing you to send "feelings of gratitude" with words of "thank you" even to loved ones you cannot meet in person.
Universal Studios Japan planned this event with the hope that even without a special reason, giving "shape" to your feelings will be an opportunity to convey gratitude. As an initiative toward realizing a society where people can always express "thank you" to each other, we aim to develop a hands-on event in Tokyo and make the park itself an opportunity to convey gratitude in Osaka.
*1) Held for one week only in the first year, 2022, as "Thanks Love Week".

■ About Thanks Love Month
Mother's Day and Father's Day are days to send "thank you" to mothers and fathers. However, such days of gratitude may not need to be limited to mothers and fathers. Therefore, Universal Studios Japan has created a month to convey gratitude to important people. Why don't you also try conveying "thank you" to your loved ones?
"Thanks Love Month" is a project that provides an opportunity to deliver "thank you" in all everyday relationships, without making "conveying gratitude" something only for special anniversaries. Since its start in 2022, we have continued to support shaping the feelings of each guest through the power of entertainment unique to the park.
This year, the first greeting show "Gift of Thanks ~Thanks Love Month~" will be held inside the park. A show will start where you can dance happily with park friends to rhythmic music, making you want to honestly convey the feelings of gratitude that are usually a little embarrassing to put into words. We will provide an opportunity for "thank you" with extraordinary staging unique to the park, encouraging the opportunity to convey gratitude.
Under the CSR activity slogan "LOVE HAS NO LIMIT", Universal Studios Japan will continue to
