I would like to express my gratitude to the stakeholders of the OLC Group, whose support made this possible. Our Assets We have focused our management resources on the development of approximately 2 million square meters of land 10 kilometers (about 6 miles) from central Tokyo. Over 25 years, we have expanded our functions as a resort with hotels and a theatre, in addition to the two theme parks, working to build experience value available nowhere else. As a result, Tokyo Disney Resort enjoys the support of a wide range of guest segments. The OLC Group owes its relatively stable earnings regard- less of economic conditions to the support of this broad segment of fans. Meeting everyone’s expecta- tions is our responsibility. Our Values The product we provide is our guests’ contentment, or in other words, happiness. These products can vanish in an instant, and because they have no form they cannot be laid aside in inventory. Quality control is extremely difficult. On the other hand, the business of offering contentment to our guests is the greatest joy for us as well. We are grateful to have such enjoyable work, and that joy and appreci- ation are what drive us. We will continue to create new value by never forgetting our original inten- tions, responding flexibly to change, and evolving as individuals. The Cornerstone of Our Medium-to-Long-Term Management In 2010, Oriental Land will celebrate its 50th anniversary. Our first 25 years mainly involved the land reclamation business, whereas the second have principally involved the business of Tokyo Disney Resort. This year marks the start of a significant period of transition as we look ahead to the next October 1972: Joined Oriental Land Co., Ltd.

  • Several Features of Liquefaction-Induced Damage to Houses and Buried Lifelines During the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake
    Proceedings of the International Symposium on Engineering Lessons Learned from the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, March 1-4, 2012, Tokyo, Japan SEVERAL FEATURES OF LIQUEFACTION-INDUCED DAMAGE TO HOUSES AND BURIED LIFELINES DURING THE 2011 GREAT EAST JAPAN EARTHQUAKE Susumu YASUDA1 and Keisuke ISHIKAWA2 1 Professor, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Tokyo Denki University, Saitama, Japan, [email protected] 2 Assistant, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Tokyo Denki University, Saitama, Japan, [email protected] ABSTRACT: The 2011 Great East Japan earthquake caused severe liquefaction in Tohoku and Kanto districts. About 27,000 timber houses, a lot of buried sewage pipes and roads were damaged due to liquefaction. In Tokyo Bay area, the very long duration of the main shock and an aftershock 29 minutes later probably induced the severe liquefaction. Sidewalks and alleys buckled at several sites, probably due to a kind of sloshing of liquefied ground. Moreover, much sand boiled from the ground and the ground subsided significantly because the liquefied soils were very fine. Key Words: Great East Japan earthquake, liquefaction, house, sewage pipe, road INTRODUCTION The 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, with a magnitude of Mw=9.0 occurred in the Pacific Ocean about 130 km off the northeast coast of Japan’s main island on March 11, 2011. Liquefaction occurred in a wide area of reclaimed land along Tokyo Bay, though the epicentral distance was very large, about 380 to 400 km. Much land has been reclaimed in the Tokyo Bay area since the seventeenth century. Liquefaction has been induced during past earthquakes, such as 1923 Kanto Earthquake and 1987 Chibake-toho-oki Earthquake.

  • Characteristics of Liquefaction in Tokyo Bay Area by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake
    Soils and Foundations 2012;52(5):793–810 The Japanese Geotechnical Society Soils and Foundations www.sciencedirect.com journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/sandf Characteristics of liquefaction in Tokyo Bay area by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake Susumu Yasudaa,n, Kenji Haradab, Keisuke Ishikawaa, Yoshiki Kanemaruc aDepartment of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Tokyo Denki University, Japan bGeotechnical Department, Fudo Tetra Corporation, Japan cKyushu Branch, Kiso-jiban Consultants Co. Ltd., Japan Received 17 January 2012; received in revised form 14 September 2012; accepted 14 October 2012 Available online 9 January 2013 Abstract The 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake caused the severe liquefaction of reclaimed lands in the Tokyo Bay area, from Shinkiba in Tokyo through Urayasu, Ichikawa and Narashino Cities to Chiba City. However, the reclaimed lands that had been improved by the sand compaction pile method, the gravel drain method or other methods did not liquefy. The reclaimed lands that did liquefy had been constructed after around 1966 with soil dredged from the bottom of the bay. The dredged and filled soils were estimated to have been liquefied by the earthquake. Seismic intensities in the liquefied zones were not high, although the liquefied grounds were covered with boiled sand. Most likely it was the very long duration of the main shock, along with the large aftershock that hit 29 min later, which induced the severe liquefaction. Sidewalks and alleys buckled at several sites, probably due to a kind of sloshing around of the liquefied ground. Moreover, much sand boiled from the ground and the ground subsided significantly because the liquefied soil was very fine.
