You can get to Odaiba by car, train, boar, bus, or monorail. Im usually going by the Yurikamome monorail due to the stations proximity to the attractions on the island. There is the large ferris wheel
Tokyo Big Sight hosts a number of conventions including Comiket
The onsen theme park is close to the Telecommunication stop
Near another station is the ship shape ship-shaped ship museum
The Fuji TV studio complex is a prominent feature
Its spherical observation deck stands out from the straight lines, hard angles, and overal cubic look of the entire structure
There are souvenir shops with character goods like One Piece and others
A self guided free tour opens up portions of the studio to the public. You can look upon the sound stages where some shows are taped. Take selfies with props from some of their shows
Just outside of Aqua City, a 360 degree view starting with the Tokyo skyline
Rainbow Bridge conveys the Yurikamomve and cars
Coming around, we start to look towards Toyosu where there is a Lala Port Mall and future sight of the relocated Tsukiji Fish Market
As we come back toward the island, you cant help but notice the out of place Statue of Libery
Aqua City and Fuji TV in the background
The Yurikamome station
One of the hotels you can book a room at
And just about complete the 360 degree view
Aqua City and Decks are just 2 of the shopping/entertainment centers available to consumers who make their way here.
Within Decks is a nostalgic retro era floor where you will find a shooting gallery such as this
Character and idol goods from a time gone by
Retro arcade games bring back the fun some of us who were around when these games first appeared in arcades.
A old time candy shop sells candies and novelties of all types ranging from mere pennies and up
For 100yen, you can purchase a small plastic container and fill it whatever catches your eye from the large array of candies
On the other side of the highway that bisects the island is Diver City. Another but newer development like Aqua City and Decks
Its main entrance is adorned with a life sized Gundam model.
Several years ago this was originally erected on another area of Odaiba where it overlooked the city skyline. When I first saw it, all that was built were the legs. It wasnt until a few years later did I see the fully assembled Gundam in all its glory
It moved around a while before settling here just as Diver City was opened
The entrance behind the behemoth leads to the food court.
Tthere are a number of choices and plenty of seating.
At the far end, I opted for the noodle joint.
I ordered the tsukemen for a reasonable price.. To me, it tasted just as good as the same item at Rokurinsha but at a cheaper price. They also provide stock to water down the dipping sauce to make it drinkable
On the top floor are restaurants and entertainment. This particular was as loud as any pachinko parlor Ive been to. I was surprised to find this guy dead to the world. Asleep while his friend plays a slot machine type game for medals. If only I could sleep like that when Im on the flight over
Over by the ferris wheel is another arcade and collection of shops grouped under the Venus Fort name.
For Toyota fans, they have a showcase of their lineup they sell to consumers and businesses. Theres also a few racing cars on display for those race fans
In the same area as this car, there is a race simulator where several attendees can see who can best who in a race around a track.
Utilitarian consumer cars like this give you a chance to look before you buy
