When I lived in Japan throughout the majority of last year, I loved Odaiba. Just something about the vibe there it's still Tokyo but like big and happy in a weird sense. Also I might just be obsessed with it because I'm a massive Digimon Fan but just chilling at the Tokyo Bay and looking over to the Fuji TV Building is so cool to me idk. I used to walk all the way from Toyosu Station to Big Sight and then over that nice walkway bridge towards the Gundam and from there to the bay. but I also do recommend going on the Yurikamome Line once and just enjoy the view :D

Mudan, these videos about what to do in certain districts in Tokyo are really lovely and helpful! I've been to Japan several times but still learned so many new things I will hopefully get to see and do on my next visit.

The life sized Unicorn Gundam statue transforms 4 times a day, every 2 hours at 11:00am, 13:00pm, 15:00pm & 17:00pm.
In the evening it remains lit up in "Destroy Mode" transformed state and has music play every 30 minutes.
I'm a big fan of the show so it was amazing to see in-person

i love this series so far! it feels like the equivalent of tech tutorials that get right into it and is very efficient in its delivery of information as opposed to a really long one with lots of filler. i like the inclusion of things that aren't on the main tourist beat too as I've been to tokyo a few times and have already seen a lot of the big tourist attractions. thanks mudan! <3

That wind was fighting you hard in this video

The Gundam Statue does change. It transforms and moves certain parts throughtout the day.

Teamlabs is completely Instagram museum.

Something interesting about Odaiba is that it has about 2 or 3 concert halls so its fairly common for music shows to take place there. There are also a few sport type stadiums.

Finally It is extremely close to Tsukiji market so you can walk 1KM from there and get to Toyosu which is one of the last stations in the monorail.

This year, I had the pleasure and privilege of going to Odaiba to see the life-size unicorn gundam at the mall. It was truly a bucket list moment as a fellow gundam fan, lol. I also spent too much money on plastic afterwards, lol.

Went to small worlds because of your recommendation last time and it was really cool. I also liked that the recommended route takes visitors through the builders' workspaces, which was also a nice look behind the scenes.

Aquacity's entire 5th floor is filled with Ramen restaurants, so that's a neat place to check out for lunch too.

Stayed in Odaiba last time I was in JP and I honestly recommend it. While it’s a bit of a travel to get into central Tokyo, it’s a pretty easy / direct train route, there’s a lot of really nice places around there to shop and eat and there isn’t so much of a tourist tax. Just a really pleasant and nice place to chill and as a massive Love Live Nijigasaki fan, I had a blast wondering around and finding all the locations from the games and show

Been wishing for this one 🙏🙏 I plan to go to Tokyo/Osaka/Kyoto this summer, and have just adored this series. Thank you Mudan!!

I was in the national museum of emerging science and innovation (Miraikan) and I really enjoyed the stuff they had there. They had a bridge with all astronauts which was pretty cool.

There's also the Toyosu fish market in Odaiba. You can watch the tuna auction, and some nice restaurants to have a sushi breakfast.

[technosworld]

There's a retro- Tokyo "Street" in the upper floor next to Joypolis that has a lot of nice things to check out from the Showa era. I miss some things Odaiba used to have, Toyota MegaWeb and Venus Fort (indoor, italian style shopping mall) were great places that sadly are gone, the immersive fort thing I think is where Venus Fort was.

[ImRezaF]

Odaiba is actually just one island, the are you highlighted is Odaiba, Ariake, Shinonome, and Toyosu. I really love the Wangan Area more than mainland Tokyo.

Honorary mention:
Immersive Fort used to be Venus Fort until VF closed in like 2022 (i think). The site for the kartin area also used to be a site for a ferris wheel, until it got dismantled in 2022.

My recommendation when in Tokyo is to do a daily vlog for the entire length of your work visa around 365 days or so. Upload them to youtube daily and then make videos asking your comments what people should do when in tokyo.

Finally after 3 months I have caught up to this series. Mudan please bring back the cryptic codes, I don't even care if there is or isn't a prize to win I just want to participate.

The big staircase on the right side of the Gundam in front of diver city, is often used as a stage for live events.

[huygialy]

I recommend going to the Fuji Television building observation deck if you want a view of the city or bay area with out the big lines like at skytree or shibuya
