How to Get to Tokyo Disney Resort
Tokyo Disney Resort is located in Urayasu, Chiba Prefecture. The nearest JR station is Maihama Station, which is served by the JR Keiyo Line and JR Musashino Line.

Take the JR Keiyo Line or JR Musashino Line from Tokyo Station to Maihama Station. The train journey takes around 15 minutes.
After arriving at Maihama Station:
- Walk to Tokyo Disneyland

The JR Keiyo Line platforms are located far from some areas inside Tokyo Station, so allow extra time for walking and transferring.
