The Tokyo Disneyland was started on April, 15th 1983 has been modelled after the same theme as the Disneyland in California. It is located in Uravasu near Tokyo in Japan. What is remarkable about Tokyo Disneyland is that it was the first Disney theme park outside the United States of America. Though the Tokyo Disneyland conceptually corresponds with Disneyland in California it is not owned by the alt Disney Company. The ownership of the Tokyo Disneyland belongs to oriental land company to which the Walt Disney Company has licensed the theme. The Tokyo Disneyland has a twin park much like its predecessor which is called the Tokyo DisneySea.
As with the California Disneyland the Tokyo Disneyland is divided into seven entertainment zone, each of which is unique, but in keeping with overall style of Disney. Just like Disneyland California the Tokyo Disneyland includes Critter Country, Mickey’s Toon Town, Fantasyland and Tommorowland. The Main Street U.S.A. of Disneyland California has been replaced with the entertainment zone called the World Bazaar. This area has been entirely constructed under a glass canopy, lending a spectacular touch to this area.
Tokyo Disneyland does not have Frontierland, but includes an entertainment zone called Westernland keeping in mind that the chunk of visitors to this park would be non Americans, and would best relate to the themes and concepts which are the usual mark of Disney in this way.
The rest of the areas have an inevitable likeness to Disneyland California. Since the Tokyo Disneyland does not have the railroad like the Disneyland California this has been compensated for by a railroad called the western river rail road, which does make for a great pleasure ride, though it does not cover the entire park, and therefore may not be used to commute within the park.
The Tokyo Disneyland has sprawling spaces and is frequented by a large number of people every year. This makes it the third in the list of the most frequented places of all Disneyland parks, the world over.
The Tokyo Disney land has most of the attractions which are there in Disneyland California. What is especially amazing is that Tokyo Disneyland has all the special features characteristic of the usual Disney attractions, but at the same time has kept the American feel of the park, in balance with the Japanese customs.
If you are visiting Tokyo, it is a great idea to visit Tokyo Disneyland, where you can witness this unique blend of the west and the east which has added another feather to the cap of the Walt Disney Company.
