2026 Tokyo Disney Resort Guide|Disneyland, DisneySea, Food, Hotels, Tickets and Transportation
Tokyo Disney Resort is located in the Maihama area of Urayasu, Chiba Prefecture, rather than central Tokyo.
The resort includes two major theme parks: Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea.
Tokyo Disneyland focuses on classic Disney castles, fairy tales, characters and parades. Tokyo DisneySea is known for its harbors, detailed international settings, sophisticated atmosphere and attractions found only in Japan.
For a first trip, the ideal plan is to spend one full day at Tokyo Disneyland and one full day at Tokyo DisneySea.
Families with young children and first-time Disney visitors will often prefer Disneyland. Couples, adult travelers and guests mainly interested in Frozen, Rapunzel, Peter Pan and Fantasy Springs may want to prioritize DisneySea.
Tokyo DisneySea is celebrating its 25th anniversary with “Sparkling Jubilee” from April 15, 2026, through March 31, 2027. The celebration includes anniversary entertainment, food, merchandise and hotel programs.
Information updated: August 6, 2026.
