Tokyo Station to Tokyo Disney by Train (Keiyo Line)
The most common way to reach Tokyo Disney Resort from Tokyo Station is by taking the JR Keiyo Line train.
It’s the cheapest and fastest option, which is why most travelers choose it.
The Long Walk to the Keiyo Line Platform
There are two main ways to reach the Keiyo Line:
- From the Marunouchi side (outside the ticket gates)
- From the Yaesu side (inside the ticket gates)
In this guide, I’ll show you the Yaesu side route, which is closer to the Shinkansen tracks.
The walking time is about the same for both routes, and there are plenty of signs.As long as you follow them, you’ll get there without a problem.
For Yaesu South Side
Walk toward the Yaesu South side inside the station. Soon you’ll see signs for the Keiyo Line.
Follow Keiyo Line Signs
Follow the “Keiyo Line” signs through the underground passage. It’s about a 10-minute walk.
Go Down to B4 Level
Take the escalator or elevator down to the 4th basement floor (B4).
Keiyo Line Platform
You’ll arrive at the Keiyo Line platforms (usually Track 3 or 4).
There are plenty of signs, and even colored lines on the floor — just follow them and you’ll get there.
If you have kids or heavy luggage, give yourself some extra time.
From Tokyo Station to Maihama Station
The ride from Tokyo Station to Maihama Station takes about 15 minutes by train, with no transfers needed. Since the Keiyo Line platform is far inside Tokyo Station, plan on a total of 25–35 minutes from the ticket gates.
