Tokyo Disney Land



Tokyo Disneyland (東京ディズニーランド) is part of a massive Disney complex that also includes Tokyo DisneySea and a number of branded hotels. It was the first Disney park to be built outside of the United States
There are seven themed areas, each complementing each other yet unique in their style. Made up of the World Bazaar, the four classic Disney lands: Adventureland, Westernland, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland, and two mini lands, Critter Country and Mickey’s Toontown. Rides include Big Thunder Mountain in Westernland, a four-minute train ride through a “haunted” mine.

World Bazaar




This gateway area to the Park features shops, restaurants, and even a bank with designs that recall a small American town in the early 1900's. Located just steps from the Main Entrance but far from the everyday world.




Slip back in time and try your skill on classic mechanical arcade games from the late 1800s through the mid-1900s. Authentic, coin-operated sports-related games, kinetoscopes, tests of strength, pinball machines, and other games can all be enjoyed here.



Disney Drawing Class
The Disney Gallery also offers fun classes that teach you how to draw a Disney character.
Choose between a "Standard Course" and an "Advanced Course."
Note: Japanese language only.




Early 20th-century saw this vehicle in popular use, and it remains that way at the Park. Get on board either level and sit back for a carefree spin around the Plaza. The Cast Member who drives will happily field any questions about the scenery.

Westernland




From the towering Big Thunder Mountain to the majestic flow of the Rivers of America, encounters await with cowboys, cancan dancers, gold miners and other denizens of the Old West. The shops and restaurants recall the rugged spirit of the Western U.S. frontier.



Relive the days of the Old West as you try your skill as a sharpshootin' marksman. Formerly a drinking establishment, this saloon has been turned into a shootin' gallery so all the greenhorns, cowpokes, dudes and outlaws who visit Westernland can have a shot at becoming the "Best in the West."

The Gallery is filled with all sorts of interesting targets, each with a unique reaction to being hit. From bottles that jump and boots that dance to a box of dynamite that "explodes," there's no shortage of amusing targets to aim for. And when they've finished, each Guest gets a score card with a special message from Pecos Goofy!

For years now, there have been stories about supernatural forces at work in Big Thunder Mountain. When one mining company didn't heed the rumors and blasted out all sorts of mine shafts and tunnels, unexplained and dangerous events started occurring. Some of the old hands even say they can hear tommy knockers, the spirits of long dead miners, tapping from somewhere inside the mines...
For the wildest ride in the west, no daredevil or thrill-seeker should miss a ride aboard one of the company's mine trains that roar down the tracks without an engineer!
