Explore the myths and legends of the sea at Tokyo DisneySea, the only Disney park of its kind, featuring unique attractions and immersive experiences.
Tokyo DisneySea is a one-of-a-kind theme park that sets itself apart from other Disney parks with its nautical theme.

Each port offers unique attractions, dining, and shopping experiences. Mediterranean Harbor welcomes guests with its old-world charm reminiscent of a Southern European port town. Mysterious Island, found within a volcano, is inspired by Jules Verne's science fiction. Mermaid Lagoon brings to life the undersea world of Ariel from The Little Mermaid, geared towards younger children. The Arabian Coast recreates the world of Aladdin and 1001 Arabian Nights. Lost River Delta features ancient temple ruins in the Central American jungles. American Waterfront captures the essence of early 20th-century American harbor towns. Port Discovery feels like a futuristic marina. Fantasy Springs, opened in 2024, immerses guests in the worlds of Frozen, Tangled, and Peter Pan. Tokyo DisneySea has gained popularity for its attention to detail, immersive environments, and thrilling attractions. It reached 10 million guests in 307 days after opening, setting a record among theme parks worldwide.
