Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea reopened Wednesday with social-distancing measures in place to prevent the spread of the coronavirus after closing for some four months over the pandemic.

In order to keep the number of visitors to less than half pre-pandemic levels, the parks' operator Oriental Land Co. will limit entry to fixed-date tickets purchased online in advance.

Operating hours at the parks in Urayasu, Chiba Prefecture, which had been closed since Feb. 29, have been shortened from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
