China Voyager at Tokyo Disneyland stopped operating for the day after smoke came from a guest’s bag on the restaurant’s terrace Sunday, Aug. 30, according to reports from FNN Prime Online and Kyodo News.
The incident was reported at about 4:40 p.m. Japan time. Guests near the restaurant were moved to safety, and no injuries were reported. The smoke was contained, while police and fire officials checked what caused it.
Guests Were Evacuated From China Voyager
FNN reported that a handbag and pouch belonging to the guest were burned. A separate Kyodo News report said firefighters found no active flames when they arrived and that restaurant employees used extinguishers while guests were moved outside.
The restaurant did not reopen for the remainder of Aug. 30. The reports did not describe a broader Tokyo Disneyland closure.
Cause Remained Under Investigation
Police and fire officials were investigating whether a mobile battery inside the bag produced the smoke. That possibility was still being checked in the reports, so the cause should not be treated as confirmed.
A TBS News Dig report said the bag contained a mobile battery and that Oriental Land, which operates Tokyo Disney Resort, was cooperating with the investigation. The same report said all guests were evacuated and no one was hurt.
