Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea, which are located in Urayasu City, Chiba Prefecture, were closed for about four months due to the effect of the new coronavirus.

According to Urayasu City, the city's tax revenue for the current fiscal year was expected to be 42.2 billion yen including the municipal tax and property tax in the initial budget.
