Day 3: Tokyo – Visit Disneyland or DisneySea
No family trip to Japan would be complete without visiting the Tokyo Disney Resort which includes not only a Disneyland theme park but also the
unique DisneySea. This water-themed park features seven different areas - the Arabian Coast, American Waterfront, Lost River Delta, Mermaid Lagoon,
Mysterious Island, Mediterranean Harbour and Port Discovery - with countless rides, attractions and performances to check out.
Tokyo Disneyland also has seven different areas to discover – World Bazaar, Tomorrowland, Toontown, Fantasyland, Critter Country,
Westernland and Adventureland – with all your favourite Disney characters to meet. It’s possible to squeeze in both parks on the same day,
although families with more time should plan to spend a whole day at each. For information on tickets, opening hours and help planning your
visit, head to the official Tokyo Disney Resort website at http://www.tokyodisneyresort.jp/en/tdl/.
You can reach Tokyo Disney Resort along the JR Keiyo Line from Tokyo Station, stopping at JR Maihama Station. From Maihama Station it is
a 20 minute walk to the resorts or you can purchase a ticket for the Disney Resort monorail and save all your walking for inside the resorts.
Day 4: Tokyo to Osaka – Visit Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan (spend 3 nights Osaka)
Jump aboard a Shinkansen “bullet train” from Tokyo Station to Shin-Osaka Station, then transfer to the JR Kyoto Line to Osaka. This bustling
modern port is home to one of the world’s most impressive aquariums, the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan, which can be reached along the Chuo
Line of the subway to Osakoko Station (not covered by the JR Pass).
There are 15 huge tanks inhabited by a dazzling array of marine life from the Pacific Ocean’s “Ring of Fire”, including a whale shark within its
9 metre deep central tank. Slowly descend its spiralling floors while being surrounded by sea turtles, dolphins, seals, rays and penguins, with
exhibits that will enthrall all ages.
