About
An immersive digital art museum in Toyosu where visitors wade barefoot through knee-deep water reflecting infinite digital flower fields, then pass through rooms of cascading light, floating crystal universes, and a garden where overgrown flowers bloom and wither in response to human touch. The four massive art spaces created by art collective teamLab blur the boundary between the artwork and the viewer's body, creating an experience where you become part of the art rather than simply observing it. Advance tickets are essential as the museum sells out weeks in advance, with timed entry slots ensuring the immersive rooms never feel overcrowded.
Highlights
- Walk-through water art
- Body-immersive digital experience
- Orchid-filled floating garden
- Infinite mirror rooms

Small Worlds Tokyo
One of the world's largest indoor miniature theme parks, covering 8,000 square meters. It features several themed areas at 1/80 scale, including a futuristic Space Center, a 'Global Village' inspired by European and Asian architecture, and highly detailed recreations of the worlds of 'Sailor Moon' and 'Evangelion.' The level of craftsmanship is astounding, with moving vehicles, shifting day-to-night lighting, and thousands of tiny, unique figurines. Visitors can even have their bodies 3D-scanned to create a miniature version of themselves to live in the park.
Odaiba Marine Park
A futuristic waterfront park located on a man-made island in Tokyo Bay. It offers the most iconic view of the Rainbow Bridge and features a 1/7th scale replica of the Statue of Liberty, which was originally a temporary gift from France but became a permanent landmark. While swimming is not permitted, the sandy beach is perfect for sunset strolls. The park connects several large entertainment complexes like Aqua City and Decks, and is a prime spot for viewing the city's illuminated skyline across the water.
Tokyo Joypolis
One of Japan's largest indoor theme parks, operated by SEGA and located in the Decks Tokyo Beach mall in Odaiba. Spread over three floors, it combines classic amusement park thrills with cutting-edge VR and digital technology. Highlights include the 'Gekion Live Coaster' (a hybrid roller coaster and rhythm game) and various 3D immersive attractions based on popular anime and games. Because it is completely indoors, it is a top choice for rainy days, offering high-energy entertainment for families and gaming enthusiasts alike.
Gundam Base Tokyo (Odaiba)
The ultimate destination for fans of the 'Mobile Suit Gundam' franchise. Outside the DiverCity Tokyo Plaza mall stands the life-sized, 19.7-meter tall 'Unicorn Gundam' statue, which performs a transformation sequence several times a day with lights and sound. Inside, the Gundam Base is a massive facility featuring a museum of Gundam history, a factory showing how 'Gunpla' model kits are made, and the world's largest selection of Gundam merchandise. It is a high-tech pilgrimage site that celebrates one of Japan's most influential cultural exports.
