Orientation

Tokyo Disney Resort is located next to JR Maihama Station in Urayasu City, Chiba Prefecture, just outside the metropolitan borders of Tokyo. The resort's theme parks, hotels and other attractions are connected with each other and Maihama Station by the Disney Resort Line, a monorail service (260 yen per ride), which circles the resort every few minutes in a counter-clockwise direction. Staying guests of the resort's three Disney Hotels receive complimentary monorail passes during their stay.

Alternatively, it is possible to walk from Maihama Station to Tokyo Disneyland, the Ikspiari Shopping Mall, the Ambassador Hotel and the Disneyland Hotel, but Tokyo DisneySea, the Hotel MiraCosta and the Official Hotels are more conveniently accessed by monorail.

Free shuttle buses for guests staying at the Ambassador Hotel operate between the hotel and the two parks. Furthermore, there are free shuttle buses for guests of the resort's Official Hotels, which connect the hotels with JR Maihama Station and the monorail's Bayside Station.

Note that a considerable number of long-distance overnight buses between Tokyo and several cities across Japan, including Nagoya, Kyoto and Osaka, also make a stop at Tokyo Disney Resort.
