About this guide
This is a third-party guide based on Tokyo Disney Resort's official smoking-area pages (tokyodisneyresort.jp) and the Urayasu City government website, accurate as of May 2026. We are not affiliated with Oriental Land Co., Ltd. or The Walt Disney Company. Smoking-area positions, operating hours and hotel policies can change without notice. Always confirm the latest information on the official site and the Tokyo Disney Resort App on the day of your visit.
Core smoking rule at Tokyo Disney Resort
Inside Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea, smoking is only permitted inside the designated smoking areas. This applies equally to cigarettes, heated tobacco (IQOS, glo, Ploom) and e-cigarettes (VAPE devices, with or without nicotine). Using any of them in attraction queues, restaurants, show-viewing areas, benches or rest areas is prohibited.
Tokyo Disney Resort's official notice explicitly states that on crowded days ashtrays may be temporarily removed or relocated. Outdoor-type smoking areas may also be temporarily closed in heavy rain. Check the app for the day's operating status.
Tokyo Disneyland (TDL) smoking areas
The official TDL smoking-area page (https://www.tokyodisneyresort.jp/tdl/service/detail/020/) lists the current designated smoking areas inside and outside the park. The number and exact positions vary with operational changes, so this article only outlines the general areas and asks readers to confirm with the official map and the Tokyo Disney Resort App.
Designated smoking areas inside the park (general areas)
Designated smoking areas have historically been operated in the Adventureland–Westernland side of TDL. Their number and exact placement change over time. Smoking is not allowed in attraction queues, restaurants, or parade-viewing areas; you must walk to a designated area. Find the exact location of the day by enabling "Smoking Areas" on the in-app map.
Outside the park (pre-entry)
Smoking areas have also been operated near the TDL entrance / bus terminal side (the exact position should be confirmed on the official map). Useful before opening or after exiting toward Maihama Station or Ikspiari.
Tokyo DisneySea (TDS) smoking areas
The official TDS smoking-area page (https://www.tokyodisneyresort.jp/tds/service/detail/058/) lists the current designated smoking areas inside and outside the park. The Fantasy Springs area, opened in June 2024, does not host a standalone designated smoking area, so you need to walk to neighbouring lands (check the official map for the nearest option). Numbers and exact placement vary over time; this article only outlines the general areas.
American Waterfront area
A designated smoking area has been operated inside the American Waterfront area at TDS. Its exact placement within the area changes over time. Find the location of the day by enabling "Smoking Areas" on the in-app map. As an outdoor-type area, comfort depends on weather and wind direction.
Arabian Coast area
A designated smoking area has also been operated in the Arabian Coast area. Arabian Coast sits roughly in the centre-south of TDS and is one of the closer options when coming from the Fantasy Springs area. Confirm the latest location on the in-app map.
Outside the park (pre-entry)
A smoking area has also been operated outside the TDS entrance / bus terminal side (specific location varies — see the official map). TDS is large; smoking before entering avoids unnecessary re-entry.
Heated tobacco and e-cigarettes
Tokyo Disney Resort treats heated tobacco (IQOS / glo / Ploom) and e-cigarettes (VAPE) the same as cigarettes — they may only be used inside designated smoking areas. "It does not produce smoke" or "it smells less" are not exceptions; using them on a bench or in an attraction queue is against park rules.
Disney Hotel smoking policy
According to Tokyo Disney Resort's official FAQ, all on-site Disney Hotels are non-smoking in the rooms. A designated smoking room is provided on the lobby floor (or equivalent) at each hotel.
- Tokyo Disneyland Hotel: rooms non-smoking, designated smoking room in the hotel
- Tokyo DisneySea Hotel MiraCosta: rooms non-smoking, designated smoking room in the hotel
- Disney Ambassador Hotel: rooms non-smoking, designated smoking room in the hotel
- Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel: rooms non-smoking, designated smoking room in the hotel
- Tokyo Disney Resort Toy Story Hotel: rooms non-smoking, designated smoking room in the hotel
- Tokyo DisneySea Fantasy Springs Hotel: rooms non-smoking, designated smoking room in the hotel
Smoking in the room, hallway or balcony — including heated tobacco and e-cigarettes — is prohibited and may result in a special cleaning fee. Confirm the location of the smoking room with the front desk at check-in.
JR Maihama Station & Urayasu City
JR Maihama Station, the closest station to Tokyo Disney Resort, is in Urayasu City, Chiba. Per the Urayasu City government website, the city designates three station areas — Urayasu, Shin-Urayasu, and Maihama — as litter-prevention priority zones. While this is not a fine-bearing "no walking-smoking" ordinance, smoking outside the designated smoking areas at the station front is strongly discouraged.
Maihama Station North Exit has a designated smoking area available 24 hours with a partial enclosure. Inside the IKSPIARI shopping complex there are smoking rooms available during operating hours. Reports of a heated-tobacco corner inside a station-front café exist but can change depending on store operation; verify on the day.
Disney Resort Line (monorail)
The Disney Resort Line monorail and its stations are non-smoking. Use a designated smoking area at the station you board from before riding. Treat heated tobacco / e-cigarettes as also non-permitted on board for safety.
Pre-visit checklist
- Install the Tokyo Disney Resort App and turn on "smoking area" map markers
- Buy cigarettes / heated tobacco refills at a convenience store near Maihama Station before entering (in-park sales are limited / variable)
- On busy days, expect that ashtrays may be removed; have a Plan B area in mind
- Confirm your hotel's smoking-room location at check-in
- Remember Maihama Station North Exit's 24-hour smoking area for the late-night return

Step 5
