Have you ever been to Odaiba? Odaiba is a popular shopping and entertainment district on a man-made island in Tokyo Bay.

Here you can find some related attractions and locations. I will guide you to some famous anime attractions in Odaiba you need to check out whenever you visit Japan. If you are ready let’s go

Anime attractions in Odaiba: Gundam

1. Scale Gundam Unicorn Statue

For mecha fans, it’s a dream coming true to see Banagher’s big boy in person. The spectacle anime attraction is when you see it transform into Destroy mode at night in a sound and light show.

Transforming light show every 30 min from 7:30 to 9:30.

2. Gundam Café

There is a mini Gundam cafe and shop behind the Unicorn. You can get pretty 1/144-scale Gundam pastries there. The Gundam Café shop is very cute and has items ranging from genuine Jaburo coffee to beam saber umbrellas.

3. Gundam Base

This Gundam Base is a big store and exhibition space where you can see how gunpla model kits are made.

Shingeki No Kyojin & Ghost In The Shell VR Games anime attractions

The mall right behind Gundam is DiverCity where you will find hexaRide, an immersive 360-degree VR experience. It’s just like you were in the story of Attack on Titan(volumes 9 and 10)

As for the Ghost in the Shell ride, you as a member of public security will have to help the mayor as you escort the defence minister and defend him from crypto-criminals.

You should try both VR Games before leaving the mall. It’s exquisite.

Akihabara and Yotsuya where you can find some places where some anime took place (real-life location of the anime Steins;Gate and Steins;Gate 0 and Your name) so is Odaiba. In the image below you can see one of the settings of the anime Digimon and its real life location
