    If you already have a JR Rail Pass — the nation's most popular pass for tourists — traveling from anywhere to Tokyo Disneyland will be a breeze. For example, if you're coming from Narita Airport, you can hop on the Narita Express to Tokyo Station, a 60-minute trip. From there, transfer to the JR Keiyo line and arrive at Tokyo Disneyland in another 15 minutes. If you haven't purchased yours on Klook, well, what are you waiting for?
    To know more about how JR Passes work and what the routes are, check out our guides here:
    You can also take the Tokyo Disney Resort Bus which is available at various locations around Japan. There are stops at major airports, such as Narita Airport and Haneda Airport. Or, take the train from the JR Keiyo/Musashino Line to JR Maihama Station, which is a five-minute walk from Tokyo Disneyland.
    Tokyo Disneyland tickets vary in price — you can either wait until the last minute and choose the best one for you at the ticket office on arrival or get your one-day passport on Klook ahead!

    Some of the best Tokyo Disneyland attractions are even better when experienced at night, and the Western River Railroad is definitely one of those rides.
