FAQ
Is Urayasu the same as Maihama / Tokyo Disney Resort?
Maihama Station (JR Keiyo Line) is within Urayasu City and is the access point for Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea. The residential areas of Urayasu (Shin-Urayasu, Gyotoku, etc.) are separate from the theme park precinct.
Why are Urayasu rents so high?
Strong demand from families prioritizing safety and schools, proximity to Tokyo, and limited land supply (Urayasu is one of the smallest cities in Chiba by area) keep rents significantly above the Chiba average.

- Tokyo Metro Tozai Line reaches Otemachi (Tokyo CBD) in about 20 minutes without JR transfers
- Rents are the highest in Chiba prefecture, reflecting premium demand — compare carefully against comparable Tokyo wards
