Tokyo Disneyland®

The park is modeled after the original Disneyland® Park in Anaheim, California, and the layout is similar. From Space Mountain to Pirates of the Caribbean and "It’s a Small World", you’ll find plenty of well-loved Disney® characters and favorites here, plus newer additions from hits like “Toy Story” and the enchanted tale of “Beauty and the Beast”. There’s also a Main Street, U.S.A. as in other Disney® parks, where the majority of stores and restaurants can be found. When it comes to food, you can enjoy everything from Mickey-shaped American-style waffles to Japanese cuisine, such as tempura and rice bowls.
