From Tokyo and the Yokohama region, all you need to do is follow the coast of the bay going to Chiba, take the exit at the Urayasu, take the Wangan Expressway and it will take 4 minutes. For foreigners who cannot drive in Japan or would prefer to take a car instead of public transportation, I recommend GoWithGuide, as they have several car tours that include limousine services to and from the Disney Parks, and will eliminate the risk of wasting time by getting lost through public transportation.

All you have to do is check out where you want to go in Japan and then send any of the guides a message for an itinerary and price quotation.
