Opened on September 4, 2001, Tokyo DisneySEA is the second theme park that makes up the Tokyo Disneyland Resort.
Contrary to popular belief, Tokyo Disneyland Resort is not owned or operated by Disney.
Both the ownership and management are handled by the Oriental Land Company, a private Japanese corporation.
This park holds the record for the fastest time to reach 10 million guests—guest number 10,000,000 walked through the gates just 307 days after opening.

What Are the Top 7 Attractions at Tokyo DisneySEA?
We’ll skip the live shows since they change with the seasons—but don’t miss the **evening lake show**, it’s a true highlight.
#7 Aquatopia
**Aquatopia** is a trackless watercraft ride that lets guests spin and glide unpredictably across a vast water lagoon. It’s fun, smooth, and perfect for all ages. 
#6 Toy Story Mania
**Toy Story Mania** is nearly identical to the versions at Disney California Adventure and Hollywood Studios in Orlando—but the real star here is the massive **Woody entrance façade**, one of the most Instagrammable spots in the park. 
#5 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
Hop aboard the **Nautilus** submarine to explore the mysterious ocean depths. Use your onboard joystick-controlled spotlight to uncover secrets hidden in the deep. 
#4 Soaring: Fantastic Flight
Inspired by the Soarin’ attractions at **EPCOT** and **Disney California Adventure**, this version is uniquely themed with a **European—and Italian—touch** to blend beautifully with its surroundings. 
#3 Tower of Terror
Tokyo DisneySEA’s **Tower of Terror** is **completely unique**. No Twilight Zone theme here—the storyline, queue, and pre-show revolve around a cursed idol and a mysterious hotel in New York. 
#2 Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Crystal Skull
Similar in layout to Disneyland’s version, but with a **new Aztec temple setting** deep in 1930s Mexico. It’s packed with special effects and thrilling moments. 
#1 Journey to the Center of the Earth
Based on Jules Verne’s classic novel, this is **Tokyo DisneySEA’s signature ride**. Guests descend in a “Terravator” to the Earth’s core and experience a thrilling mix of storytelling, fire, speed, and surprises.
