Universal Studios Japan will hand out free salt tablets starting July 1 as part of its 2026 summer heat-safety program.

Guests can ask crew members carrying marked SALT pouches for a park-original salt tablet. The giveaway runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. throughout the park, excluding The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Super Nintendo World.

The summer heat program also includes misting, cooling spots, water-focused entertainment, and evening parade timing for the hot-weather season.

Universal Cool Summer: Discover U!!! runs July 1 through August 26. The broader 25th anniversary celebration continues through March 30, 2027.

The salt-tablet program is a small operational detail, but it is the kind of thing that matters during a full day in Osaka heat: find the marked pouch, ask a crew member, and keep moving.
