Westernland is Tokyo Disneyland’s answer to Frontierland in other Disney parks, offering a fun-filled glimpse into the Wild West of early America. With thrilling rides, entertaining shows, and delicious food, this land is a must-visit for any Disneyland adventurer.
One of the park’s most beloved attractions is the Country Bear Theatre, where a group of hilarious, hillbilly bears put on a lively revue. The show changes seasonally, adding a fresh twist for repeat visitors. It’s quite a novelty to hear these animatronic bears performing in Japanese with a country twang!
If you’re after a show with fewer robots and more live action, check out The Diamond Horseshoe. This old-school Western theatre brings the fun and charm of the Wild West to life, but be sure to make reservations in advance to secure a seat.
For a relaxing ride, cruise the Rivers of America aboard the classic Mark Twain Riverboat, passing by Westernland’s iconic attractions along the way. But for something more fast-paced, don’t miss Big Thunder Mountain, a high-speed rollercoaster through a runaway mine. As one of the most popular rides in the park, it has a FASTPASS system to help shorten the wait.
If you’re up for more boat ride fun, hop on Tom Sawyer Island Rafts and explore Tom’s island, a kid-friendly adventure area packed with surprises. Before heading back, challenge yourself at the Westernland Shooting Gallery and test your sharpshooting skills.
Shopping in Westernland is fantastic, with Western-themed handicrafts, clothing, and plush toys available. And, of course, no visit is complete without trying the food! Grab some beef jerky or fried chicken with a beer at The Lucky Nugget Cafe, or head to the Hungry Bear Restaurant for a hearty Japanese-style curry. One of the most famous snacks in Westernland is the smoked turkey leg, available at The Chuck Wagon—perfect for eating on the go. But if you’re looking for a huge Western-style buffet, the Plaza Pavilion Restaurant is the place to go. Just one tip—ride Big Thunder Mountain before lunch!
