Message from President

This year, our company marks the significant milestone of our 30th anniversary as a publicly listed company. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude, as this achievement is entirely due to the warm support of our shareholders and the strong relationships of trust we have built with our business partners.

 

Thirty years ago, we aimed to go public to broaden our funding options for the construction of Tokyo DisneySea, and at that time, I was in charge of preparing for the listing. I still vividly remember the moment we were listed on the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange and saw our opening share price displayed on the exchange’s monitor. I realized firsthand the weight of responsibility that came with this milestone—that we were no longer merely raising capital, but had assumed the role of stewards of the valuable assets entrusted to us by thousands upon thousands of shareholders. Over the past 30 years, while we have not always sailed smoothly, we have achieved significant growth thanks to the support of our shareholders.

The fiscal year ended March 2026 marked the first year of our 2035 Long-term Management Strategy.

We focused on investments that will enhance the value of our theme parks in the future, including the steady development of new attractions, renovations to improve the entrance area at Tokyo DisneySea, and improvements to the park environment during the summer season. In addition to working to expand our fan base among domestic guests through initiatives such as collaborations with musical artists, we also strengthened our efforts to attract overseas guests by expanding our overseas marketing reach and implementing detailed promotional activities tailored to specific regions.

Outside of the Theme Park Segment, we resolved to establish a subsidiary, ORIENTAL LAND CRUISE CO., LTD., to accelerate the commercialization of our cruise business and to manage and operate the future cruise ships in a specialized manner.

We will accelerate the growth of our Group by continuing to invest in growth to enhance the appeal of our theme parks and hotels, while also providing new experience value through family entertainment cruises.

Precisely because we live in an era where everything is digitized and can be completed online, we are convinced that there is great significance in providing authentic quality and real-life experiences that connect people's hearts and allow them to interact with one another. By continuing to offer places where people of all generations and nationalities can experience “dreams, moving experiences, happiness, and contentment”—creating memories that will remain deeply etched in their hearts—we will achieve the vision of "Bringing more 'Happiness' to you and the community." and the financial goals outlined in our 2035 Long-term Management Strategy.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of Tokyo DisneySea.

The 25 years since Tokyo DisneySea opened as the world’s only ocean-themed park have been a journey of challenges and evolution. Although there were times when we struggled to attract guests, we have dramatically enhanced the park's value as a theme park by expanding its content and offering new ways to enjoy it, all while maintaining its core concept. In June 2024, our eighth themed port, Fantasy Springs, opened, delivering special experiences filled with adventure and imagination to many guests from Japan and abroad. The fiscal year ending March 2027, featuring the Jubilee Blue as the signature color of Tokyo DisneySea 25th Anniversary, will be a turning point for future growth, and we plan to make the most of it.

 

Moving forward, we will continue to uphold our responsibilities and mission as a publicly listed company, always valuing dialogue with our stakeholders and pursuing transparent management and sustainable growth.
We are grateful for your ongoing support and look forward to your continued confidence in the long-term sustainable growth of our Group.

June 2026
Wataru Takahashi, Representative Director, President and COO
