Disney has two theme parks in Tokyo, DisneySea and Disneyland, which are extremely popular tourist places to visit. Disneyland is catered more to smaller children, while DisneySea is geared towards older kids and adults.

DisneySea has more thrill rides, while Disneyland has smaller kiddie rides. Don’t get me wrong, both young and old will enjoy going to both Disney parks.

No Park-Hopper Passes

Disneyland in Tokyo does not offer the Park-Hopper passes like they do in the United States. Purchasing a ticket allows you to visit that one park for the entire day.
