When you stroll through the American Waterfront at Tokyo DisneySea, even the streetlights tell a story.
On Broadway Street, you’ll notice bright, white electric lamps. But step into the side streets like Water Street, and you’ll find the warm glow of gas lamps instead.
A City in Transition
This detail isn’t random—it reflects New York in the early 1900s, when the city was shifting from gas lamps to electric lighting. Major avenues were modernized first, while backstreets held on to the older style.

Tokyo DisneySea recreates that exact moment of transition. The main streets shine with modern progress, while the side streets preserve the historic charm of gaslight. Walking through feels like stepping into history, with the city changing right around you.

Even on Water Street, you’ll see both electric and gas lamps—it’s like catching the transition in real time!
✨ Summary
Pay attention to the lamps next time you visit. The contrast between electric and gaslight makes the 1910s New York atmosphere feel incredibly real.
And at night, the effect is even stronger—the perfect time to slow down and enjoy the magic of the lights.
