Bon Holidays: Day 1 (August 14th)

During this period in Japan, many Japanese people are on Bon Holidays.

I was working in Bon holidays for the last several years, but I decided to rest and go play outside this year.

First, I went to Tokyo Disneyland with my friend.

The number of visitors per year to Tokyo Disneyland is around 17 million -- this is the third-largest number in all amusement parks in the world.

Since it was a day of Bon holidays, Disneyland was very crowded, but we could enjoy enough.

I walked and stand for a long time after a long time, so I was very tired.

Incidentally, although it is Tokyo Disneyland, it is not located in Tokyo -- it is actually located in Chiba (next to Tokyo).
お盆休み 一日目(8月14日)

この時期、日本はお盆休みです。

私はここ数年、お盆も仕事をしてきましたが、今年はしっかりと休んだり遊んだりすることにしました。

まずは、東京ディズニーランドに行きました。

東京ディズニーランドの来場者数は年間約1700万人で、世界のアミューズメントパークの中でも3位の規模です。

お盆休みということもあり、かなり混雑していましたが、楽しめました。

久々に長時間歩いたり立ったりしたので、くたくたです。

ちなみに、「東京ディズニーランド」という名前ですが、実際には「東京都」ではなくその隣の「千葉県」にあります。

     walked = past; stand = present, stood = past. Tense needs to match.

  • Ironically, although it is called Tokyo Disneyland, it is not located in Tokyo -- it is actually located in Chiba (next to Tokyo).
     Incidentally doesn't really fit. Ironically works better, to indicated an unexpected surprise. Or you could just use "Surprisingly,"
I think it'd be a lot of fun to go to Tokyo disney one day! My daughter and I watch videos of some of the rides they have that aren't in Disney World in Florida, which is also a great time!

Thank you for the correction!
Yes, the rides are fantastic, but I think that the waiting time for riding them (especially on holidays) in Tokyo Disneyland is too long, haha.
