The new Fantasy Springs theme area at Tokyo DisneySea opened on Thursday, offering visitors the chance to experience the world of films including "Frozen."
The new area, also based on "Peter Pan" and "Tangled," is the eighth themed port in DisneySea, adjacent to Tokyo Disneyland, and has four rides, three restaurants and a hotel.
In the ride named Anna and Elsa's Frozen Journey, visitors board a boat that moves back and forth, guiding them through the story of the film Frozen.
Peter Pan's Never Land Adventure features a boat ride with an immersive 3D experience in the world of pirates.
The area has multiple fountains decorated with rocks engraved with various Disney characters.
It has restaurants designed to castles and other locations from popular films, as well as a 475-room hotel themed to Disney classics like Beauty and the Beast and Bambi.
Oriental Land Co. invested about 320 billion yen ($2.0 billion) to build the new area, which spans approximately 140,000 square meters of land. Tokyo DisneySea, opened in 2001, expanded by around 20 percent through the addition of the new area.
Under the initial plan announced in 2018, the operator aimed to open the section in fiscal 2022 but postponed it due to the coronavirus outbreak.
"Visitors can immerse themselves deeper than ever into the world of Disney and feel like they are in the films," an Oriental Land official said.
