This guide covers how to reach the Urayasu and Maihama area from Haneda Airport, Narita Airport, and Tokyo Station.
The best transport depends on whether you are heading to Tokyo Disney Resort, a hotel in Shin-Urayasu, or the area around Urayasu Station. We compare trains, airport limousine buses, and taxis, and include notes for guests with wheelchairs, strollers, or heavy luggage.
For hotel-by-hotel comparisons of travel time to the park, airports, and city center, also see Hotel Access Comparison.
Please note Fares, travel times, frequency, stop locations, and hotel shuttle availability are subject to change. Before travel, check the latest information on the websites of rail operators, airport limousine bus services, taxi companies, your hotel, and Tokyo Disney Resort.

First: Understanding the Three Stations
The most common point of confusion for first-time visitors is the difference between three stations. Tokyo Disney Resort is served by Maihama Station, but searching for “Urayasu” in Japanese maps can show Tokyo Metro Urayasu Station instead. Confirm your destination first.
| Station / Area | Line | Main Features | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maihama Station | JR Keiyo / Musashino Line | Gateway to Tokyo Disney Resort | Visitors to Tokyo Disneyland / DisneySea |
| Shin-Urayasu Station | JR Keiyo / Musashino Line | Nearest to bay-area hotels | Guests at Shin-Urayasu hotels |
| Urayasu Station | Tokyo Metro Tozai Line | City center, restaurants, local area | Guests at hotels near Urayasu Station |

This diagram is a conceptual overview — actual distances and directions differ.
Important: Urayasu Station is on the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line, while Maihama and Shin-Urayasu are on the JR Keiyo/Musashino Line. These are separate lines with no direct through service between them.
Recommended Routes by Purpose
| Your situation | Consider first | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Haneda → Maihama / Disney | Limousine bus / Train | Bus handles luggage easily; train timing is predictable |
| Narita → Maihama / Disney | Limousine bus / Train | Fewer transfers by bus; long distance from Narita |
| Tokyo Station → Maihama | JR Keiyo / Musashino Line | Direct train to Maihama Station |
| Heading to Shin-Urayasu hotels | Shin-Urayasu Sta. + shuttle / bus / taxi | Hotel locations vary; some are far from the station |
| Staying near Urayasu Station | Tokyo Metro Tozai Line direction | Be aware it is a different line from Maihama |
| Small children / heavy luggage | Limousine bus / Taxi | Minimizes transfers and stairs |
| Wheelchair / stroller | Route with fewest transfers + pre-confirm | Elevator locations, bus accessibility, taxi reservation |
Transport Options at a Glance
| Transport | Advantages | Watch out for | Wheelchair / Stroller |
|---|---|---|---|
| Train | Predictable timing, relatively affordable | Transfers and walking within stations | Check elevator locations in advance |
| Airport limousine bus | Easy with luggage, goes near hotels | Congestion, full buses, limited departures | Confirm accessibility policy in advance |
| Taxi | Door-to-door | Higher cost | Consider booking a UD taxi or welfare taxi |
| Hotel shuttle | Convenient for guests | Varies by hotel — availability and frequency differ | Confirm wheelchair access with hotel |
| Disney Resort Line | Handy within TDR and hotel area | Busy at peak times | Check elevator routing |
From Haneda Airport
For guests with heavy luggage or children, the airport limousine bus is often the easiest option. For predictable travel times, the train is a strong alternative.
To Maihama / Tokyo Disney Resort
| Transport | Best for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Airport limousine bus | Heavy luggage, families, going directly to hotel | Congestion, buses filling up |
| Train (via Keikyu or Monorail) | Predictable timing, budget-conscious | Transfers and station walking |
| Taxi | Large groups, heavy luggage, early morning / late night | Higher cost |
Limousine buses from Haneda stop at Tokyo Disneyland, Tokyo DisneySea, Disney-owned hotels, and Official Hotels. Departure times and stops vary by day — check the official timetable before travel.
To Shin-Urayasu
Limousine buses serve Shin-Urayasu Station and some bay-area hotels. Check in advance whether a bus stops near your specific hotel.
To Urayasu Station
From Haneda, the basic route involves transferring to the Tozai Line within central Tokyo. Since Urayasu Station is on a different line from Maihama and Shin-Urayasu, guests staying near Urayasu Station should plan their route in advance.
Wheelchair / Stroller Tips
- Confirm accessible routes (elevators, ramps) within the airport before proceeding
- Limousine buses do not have step-free wheelchair boarding — confirm the policy in advance (see note below)
- For train travel, check elevator locations at transfer stations
From Narita Airport
Narita Airport is farther from the Urayasu area, so expect longer travel times. Limousine buses reduce transfers; trains offer more predictable timing.
To Maihama / Tokyo Disney Resort
| Transport | Best for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Airport limousine bus | Fewer transfers, heavy luggage | Delays due to road conditions |
| Train (Keisei Line, JR, etc.) | Predictable timing, comparing costs | Transfers depending on route |
| Taxi | Groups, heavy luggage, early morning / late night | High cost |
Limousine buses from Narita serve Tokyo Disneyland, Tokyo DisneySea, Disney-owned hotels, and Official Hotels.
To Shin-Urayasu
Limousine buses also serve Shin-Urayasu Station and some bay-area hotels. Stop locations can change — check the official site before travel.
To Urayasu Station
From Narita, reaching Urayasu Station involves combining Keisei Line / JR / Tokyo Metro Tozai Line. Use a transit app to check the current best route on the day of travel.
Wheelchair / Stroller Tips
- The long distance from Narita makes minimizing transfers especially important
- Avoid peak congestion times when traveling with a stroller or large luggage
- For taxis, check in advance whether flat-rate or UD taxi options are available from Narita
From Tokyo Station
The JR Keiyo / Musashino Line from Tokyo Station runs directly to Maihama Station and Shin-Urayasu Station.
| Destination | Main Route | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Maihama Station | Tokyo Station → JR Keiyo / Musashino Line | Gateway to Tokyo Disney Resort |
| Shin-Urayasu Station | Tokyo Station → JR Keiyo / Musashino Line | Convenient for bay-area hotels |
| Urayasu Station | Otemachi / Nihonbashi direction → Tokyo Metro Tozai Line | For hotels near Urayasu Station |
Note: The Keiyo Line Platform Is Far
The Keiyo Line platform at Tokyo Station is located far from Shinkansen and other conventional lines. Even though the train ride itself is short, allow extra walking time to reach the platform.
In particular, allow extra time if you are:
- Transferring from the Shinkansen
- Using a wheelchair or stroller
- Carrying large suitcases
- Visiting Tokyo Station for the first time
By Destination
Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea
Both parks are reached via Maihama Station.
- Tokyo Disneyland is within walking distance of Maihama Station
- Tokyo DisneySea is most easily reached from Maihama Station via the Disney Resort Line. Walking is also possible, but first-time visitors, guests with luggage, and wheelchair users may find the Resort Line more convenient
Shin-Urayasu Hotels
Many resort and long-stay hotels are in the Shin-Urayasu, Hinode, Akemi, and Takasu areas. Bay-side hotels can be far from Shin-Urayasu Station on foot, so check these points before your stay:
| Check | Why |
|---|---|
| Hotel shuttle availability | May run to/from TDR and Shin-Urayasu Station |
| Airport limousine bus stop | Direct airport transfer if the bus stops at your hotel |
| Late-night transport | Taxi demand rises after park closing and in rain |
| Wheelchair access | Confirm shuttle, room, and in-hotel accessibility |

Travel time alone is not the only factor — transfer distances and elevator locations matter too.

Note on Limousine Buses
Airport limousine buses are not step-free vehicles. Folding wheelchairs can often be stored in the luggage compartment, but electric wheelchairs may not be accepted. Always confirm with the bus operator in advance.
Choosing Your Transport
| Priority | Consider |
|---|---|
| Minimize transfers | Limousine bus / taxi |
| Predictable timing | Train |
| Go directly to hotel | Limousine bus (if hotel has a stop) / reserved taxi |
| Keep costs down | Train (check elevator routes in advance) |
| Travel in wheelchair | Reserve a UD taxi or welfare taxi in advance |
