To get from Tokyo Station to Tokyo Disneyland, take a JR Keiyo Line or through-running Musashino Line train that stops at Maihama. The train ride takes about 15 minutes, and the park entrance is about a five-minute walk from Maihama Station. The part most people underestimate is the walk inside Tokyo Station to the separate Keiyo Line platforms. For DisneySea, get off at the same JR station and change to the Disney Resort Line.

Tokyo Disney Resort quotes around 20 minutes for the basic Tokyo Station route and lists roughly 15 minutes for the rail leg. Its estimates exclude transfer time. For planning, count the walk to the Keiyo platforms, the wait for a train, the ride, the walk from Maihama and the park entrance separately. Official travel-time breakdown
2. Find the Keiyo Line platforms at Tokyo Station
Once you arrive at Tokyo Station, follow the signs marked Keiyo Line / 京葉線. The route runs through indoor corridors to a separate underground platform area. Keep following the Keiyo signs after the first turn. The big numbers on the main JR or Shinkansen platforms are a different set of numbers from the ones in the underground Keiyo area.
JR East lists underground Keiyo platforms 1–4. Treat that as the area to aim for, then use the departure board to choose the platform for your actual train. If you arrive on the Shinkansen, check the station map in advance and give yourself extra time for the transfer gates. Travelers with luggage or a stroller can use JR East’s barrier-free map to locate elevators. JR East’s current Tokyo Station platform and accessibility maps
3. Check that your train stops at Maihama
Search for Maihama / 舞浜 on the live departure board, train stopping pattern or journey planner before boarding. The train can have another station as its final destination, so look for Maihama in the stops. There is no change of trains on the JR leg if you board the correct service at Tokyo Station. The JR East map shows several types of services in the underground Keiyo area, which is why the stop list matters more than the platform number alone. JR East platform guide · Resort rail guide
4. Choose the right route from Maihama
For Tokyo Disneyland
Leave JR Maihama Station via the South Exit and follow the signs to Tokyo Disneyland. The park is about a five-minute walk from the station. If Disneyland is your only destination, this is usually the simplest option.
For Tokyo DisneySea
Turn left from the JR South Exit and walk about two minutes to Resort Gateway Station. Take the Disney Resort Line to Tokyo DisneySea Station. The resort estimates about nine minutes on the monorail and about one minute on foot from that station to the park. A single Resort Line ticket is ¥300 for adults and ¥150 for children ages 6–11. This is a separate fare from the JR leg. Resort Line directions · Official monorail fares
5. Work backward from when you want to reach the gates
If you want to arrive around opening, choose your target time at the park first. In your route planner, enter your actual starting station and Maihama as the destination. If it gives you a tight connection at Tokyo Station, choose an earlier departure so you have room for the walk, elevators or a missed train. Allow time for the final walk and entrance screening as well. If you’re traveling with children, agree on a meeting point before going into a crowded concourse.
For the return, head back to JR Maihama Station and look for a service stopping at Tokyo Station if that’s where you need to go. Check your actual final connection, especially if you’re transferring to another line after the park closes. For park planning, see our Tokyo DisneySea guide.
6. Frequently asked questions
Do I have to take the Disney monorail to Disneyland?
No. Tokyo Disneyland is within walking distance of JR Maihama Station. The monorail is useful for DisneySea and other stops around the resort.
Is 15 minutes enough from my Shinkansen platform to Disneyland?
Allow more time. Fifteen minutes is the approximate JR ride from the Keiyo platform to Maihama. You still need to make the station transfer, wait for the train and walk to the park.
Which station should I type in my route planner?
Use Maihama Station for the JR journey. If you are going to DisneySea, add Tokyo DisneySea Station as a second leg or choose the resort’s official directions.
