Odaiba might seem to be far from central Tokyo and all its popular areas such as Shinjuku and Shibuya, But it is certainly worth the trip there as you will spend your whole day checking the many attractions of Odaiba and still have more for your next visit. Odaiba is an artificial island and therefore you have a small beach looking over the famous “Rainbow Bridge” will light up during the night. You can also find a science museum, a trick art museum, car exhibitions, and a 19.7 meter high Gundam statue (a huge robot) which is located right in front of Diver City Tokyo Plaza, one of the more popular shopping centers in Odaiba.
