HORIZONS NOVEMBER 2023

O

daiba originated as a set of small man-made islands built towards the end of the Edo Period (1603-1868) to protect Tokyo against possible attacks from the waterfront. A century later, these small islands were joined together and developed into one of Tokyo’s most popular tourist attractions with impressive shopping complexes consisting of malls, theme parks and museums. DECKS Tokyo Beach next to Odaiba Beach features many entertainment centers including Tokyo Joypolis, with the latest on electronic games, LEGOLAND Discovery Center, Madame Tussauds Wax Museum and more. DiverCity is nearby and offers a wide selection of Japanthemed souvenirs with a variety of authentic Japanese restaurants. It’s easily recognized by the world’s only full-sized Gundam statue (anime character) guarding the front entrance. Instead of walking from attraction to attraction, enjoy a ride on the Yurikamome Line: Tokyo’s first fully automated transit system controlled entirely by computers. Odaiba’s fun and entertaining atmosphere makes it popular with people of all ages.
