Oriental Land Co., Ltd. ("OLC") was established in 1960 with the aim of reclaiming land on the coast of Urayasu in Chiba Prefecture and conducting such activities as constructing major leisure facilities that would contribute to the cultural life of the nation and the welfare of its citizen. In 1983, Oriental Land opened Tokyo Disneyland in Maihama, Chiba Prefecture, about 10 kilometers (six miles) from central Tokyo. Since then, we have significantly contributed to the expansion of Japan's amusement and leisure park industry and have maintained our established position in the market by maximizing our advantages. In 2001, we opened Tokyo DisneySea, the world's first Disney theme park based on a maritime concept. To date, the two theme parks have welcomed a cumulative total of over 400 million guests.
The opening of Tokyo DisneySea heralded the full-scale operation of the Tokyo Disney Resort, the world's only extended-stay theme resort, spanning 200 hectares of land near a major urban center. We have maintained our efforts to expand the resort through continuous development toward achieving further growth.
The Oriental Land Group, led by Oriental Land, is broadening its operations beyond the Maihama area, the site of the Tokyo Disney Resort. Such activities include the management and operation of Disney Store Japan outlets, which we are opening nationwide. Aspiring to create new value, Oriental Land will continue pursuing "businesses that fill your heart with energy and happiness" --- a high-value pursuit that energizes and enriches people's lives.
