Day 06: Odaiba Tokyo, Gundam Front Tokyo

Odaiba (お台場) is the new hangout area in Tokyo.  Many big shopping malls and open spaces, but the transportation to there is slightly higher compare to the tradition hangout in Tokyo.  There are only two train line Yurikamome (ゆりかもめ) and Rinkai Line (りんかい線).  Both lines do not accept JR Rail Pass.

As i am staying at Hilton Tokyo Bay Hotel, it is very convenience to take a train from JR Maihama station then transfer at Shin-Kiba to Rinkai Line.  We alight at Tokyo Teleport Station from Rinkai Line.  The whole journey took us about 30 minutes.

Diver City Tokyo Plaza

The nearest exit to Diver City is Exit B.  From there we took a 5 minutes walk from the station to the plaza.  Proceed all the way from the entrance to the food court, then exit from the food court and you will see the Gundam.

Fantastic to see the Gundam of the actual size.  There are two light shows at 7 pm and 8..30 pm, hope i remember the timing correctly.  The light show should not be missed, especially for Gundam's fan.

Gundam Front Tokyo

The Gundam Front Tokyo is located at the level 7, take the escalator to Bowling alley at level 6 then up a level to the exhibit.

The models are exclusive and can only find in here.  However, personally find the entrance fees is a bit on the high side.

The flagship stores and the Gundam Cafe are much more interesting than the exhibit hall.

Rest of the shops in the Diver City are same as other places.  But still allow us to spend half a day in the plaza.

Aqua City

From Diver City, take another 5 minutes walk we are at the Aqua City.  From the side of the mall, there is a mini-statue of liberty at the park.

There is a big toy]r us inside the mall, where we spend the other second half of the day.

Too bad, after visiting Diver City and Aqua City, we are running out of time to visit the Toyota MegaWeb.  This will have to leave it for the next trip.
