The Tokyo Disney Resort is a theme park and vacation resort owned by the Oriental Land Company with a license from Walt Disney Company located in Urayasu, Japan just outside of Tokyo. Originally just Tokyo Disneyland, the theme park opened on April 15, 1983. Tokyo Disney was the first Disney resort opened outside of the United States.

Tokyo Disney has three main entertainment sections: the original Tokyo Disneyland park; the Tokyo Disney Sea theme park; and Ikspiari, which is a variation of the Disney Village found at other Disney resorts.

Like all other modern Disney resorts, Tokyo Disney has numerous adjacent hotels in its resort complex; most are located in a specific hotel area but two hotels are located outside the main hotel complex: Hotel MiraCosta (at Tokyo DisneySea) and the Disney Ambassador Hotel.

Tokyo DisneySea is the newest Disney theme park, that opened on September 4, 2001.

Akihabara is also known as Akihabara Electric Town (Akihabara Denki Gai). It is located less than five minutes by rail from Tokyo station, Tokyo, Japan. It is sometimes shortened to Akiba by locals. While there is an official locality named Akihabara nearby, part of Taito-ku, the area known as Akihabara (including the JR railway station of the same name) to most people is actually Soto-Kanda, a part of Chiyoda-ku.
