What to do and see in Odaiba / Shiodome / Shinbashi, Kanto: The Best Monuments & Statues

May 21, 2021 Janette Largent

Tradition collides with pop culture in Tokyo, where you can reverently wander ancient temples before rocking out at a karaoke bar. Wake up before the sun to catch the lively fish auction at the Tsukiji Market, then refresh with a walk beneath the cherry blossom trees that line the Sumida River. Spend some time in the beautiful East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, then brush up on your Japanese history at the Edo-Tokyo Museum. Don’t forget to eat as much sushi, udon noodles, and wagashi (Japanese sweets) as your belly can handle.

Unicorn Gundam Statue

Reviewed By sohlman33 - Brookfield, United States

We always make sure to stop in Odaiba to see the 1:1 Gundam every time we go to Japan. From the classic RX-78 to the current Unicorn I do feel this is landmark of Japan loved by the people who live there and foreigners alike. This should clearly be on the list for people who like anime, robots, science fiction, etc - but I would say there's a good chance anyone would enjoy seeing something like this come to life. It's a work of art. Relatively quick to get to from multiple train stops, and the Diver City mall is quite extensive with a good food court as well.

We went to Odaiba seaside park and came across a replica of the Statue of Liberty. Quite nicely built. No need to go to New York.
