Mediterranean Harbor (Tokyo DisneySea)
Mediterranean Harbor is a themed area in Tokyo DisneySea, the second park in the Tokyo Disney Resort, located in Urayasu, Chiba Prefecture, Chiba, Japan, near Tokyo, which opened in 2001. Mediterranean Harbor is the entrance "port-of-call," or hub, themed as an Italian port city named Porto Paradiso, complete with Venetian gondolas that guests can ride. The majority of places of interest throughout the port are various shops and restaurants. Theming and layout Mediterranean Harbor's layout differs from the entry "lands" of other Disney parks as it is a large "V" shape rather than the main street that leads to a hub (as found in Disneyland's Main Street, U.S.A. or Disney's Hollywood Studios' Hollywood Boulevard). The right path leads to Mysterious Island, while the left leads to the American Waterfront. Built into the architecture of the port is the Tokyo DisneySea Hotel MiraCosta.
