 Tokyo
Disneyland, Urayashi-shi, Maihama
Tokyo Disneyland enjoys enormous popularity as the biggest theme park in Japan.
Though the fact that it is called ﾒTokyoﾓ Disneyland but is actually located in
next-door Chiba Prefecture may make some residents wonder about the name, the
road from the nearest station to the theme park is very beautiful and the park
itself definitely lives up to its reputation as the ﾒLand of Magic Dreams.ﾓ

 Kujukuri
Beach
A very long beach along the east coast of the Boso Peninsula, Kujukuri Beach is
a popular swimming and surfing area accessible from Tokyo. According to Japanese
folklore, Minamoto no Yoritomo (the founder of the Kamakura Shogunate) ordered
the beach measured which turned out to be 99 ri(an old unit of measurement), thus
the name "ninety-nine ri beach". Surfers and beach-lovers should definitely
check it out.
