Frozen-Land coming, according to Screamscape:

The Oriental Land Company has released a new piece of artwork showing off the new “Scandinavia” themed Port they are adding to the Tokyo DisneySea theme park. While they only say that the new Scandinavia port will have a portion of the area themed to the smash hit animated film “Frozen”, so far it clearly looked to be entirely themed to it.

It has a clear copy of the Arendelle castle and village (with frost magic in the air overhead) on the left and to the right there is a “mountain” that appears to have a waterfall coming down, along with a couple of cave entrances portals into the mountain itself off the main pathway, which is probably where a “Frozen” themed dark ride or some sort will be built.

So what will we expect with the expansion? Here's a quote from wdwnt.com.

Here’s some information we already know in regard to the Fantasyland expansion at Tokyo Disneyland:

Grand Circuit Raceway and Star Jets are being removed from Tomorrowland
it’s a small world will be remodeled and moved to the east portion of Fantasyland in the space currently occupied by Grand Circuit Raceway
Dumbo is being moved and reimagined to look like its Magic Kingdom counterpart (albeit a single version instead of the double)
Frozen will not be coming to Fantasyland; instead, it will make its way over to Tokyo DisneySea
The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Tangled, Dumbo and Alice in Wonderland will all be playing a key role in the redevelopment of Fantasyland
The original Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty meet and greets that were removed from early plans for Florida’s New Fantasyland appear to be included in Tokyo Disneyland’s Fantasyland
Alice in Wonderland plans that were rejected for Walt Disney World will find home in Tokyo Disneyland and will be the centerpiece of the Fantasyland expansion
The expansion of Tokyo Disneyland’s Fantasyland will take its cue from New Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom in that it will include water features and heavy foresting

...Tokyo Disneyland has the same Tomorrowland, Fantasyland, and Adventureland of the Anaheim original, Japan gets Westernland as a stand-in for Frontierland. As you’d guess from the name, Westernland is filled with cowboy architecture and landscaping evocative of the American wilderness.

Another addition to the attraction: Junior woodchucks campgrounds


Lucky Nugget Cafe will be renovated into this restaurant:


These new expansions are expected to open in the latter part of 2016.

Oriental Land Co., the owner of Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea, has announced plans to invest $4.6 billion to expand and improve the two theme parks in Japan over the next 10 years.

A big part of the investment will go to redevelop and expand Fantasyland at Tokyo Disneyland, which last year surpassed Disneyland in Anaheim in attendance.

At Tokyo DisneySea Park, the companion park to Disneyland, Oriental Land said it plans to develop a new themed port and add new attractions, restaurants and shops, according to a statement released by Disney.

Beginning in 2015, Tokyo Disneyland will begin work on a ten year project (...)
