San Fransokyo Square at Disney California Adventure Park Fact Sheet
ANAHEIM, Calif. – San Fransokyo Square opens Aug. 31, 2023, at Disneyland Resort – featuring sights, shopping and splendid cuisine from the industrious city in Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Academy Award®-winning film “Big Hero 6.” This reimagined area of Disney California Adventure Park transports guests to the not-too-distant future, in a fictional mash-up of two iconic cities – San Francisco and Tokyo – where they’ll have the opportunity to meet boy genius Hiro Hamada and his huggable healthcare companion robot, Baymax.
The most iconic landmark of the area is the 54-foot-tall San Fransokyo Gate Bridge, which spans the tide pools linking the seaside plaza to the Paradise Gardens Park obelisk. Inside the bustling marketplace, guests will discover that the local businesses and eateries are decked out in street art and colorful banners celebrating the Big Hero 6 team after their victory over Yokai.
