Day 4 Odaiba, Tokyo Japan

First of Happy Mid Autumn Festival to all of you here! I'm so excited to continue my Tokyo journey in my blog. You can check out all my previous Tokyo post here. Continue my Day 4 journey after Tsukiji Fish Market. After I visit the market, we decide to visit Odaiba since taking the Metro Line is nearer from here. We walk from Tsukiji Station to Ginza Metro Station. Ginza is very nearby to Tsukiji too.

About Ginza

The Ginza (銀座) is Tokyo's most famous upmarket shopping, dining and entertainment district, featuring numerous department stores, boutiques, art galleries, restaurants, nightclubs, and cafes.

One square meter of land in the district's center is worth over ten million yen, making it one of the most expensive real estate in Japan. It is where you can find the infamous $10 cups of coffee and where virtually every leading brand name in fashion and cosmetics has a presence.

We didn't walk much at Ginza as it was quite a high-end places to visit. You can find many high-end brand and shopping mall here too. If you want to enjoy the high-end lifestyle in Tokyo, you can always visit and enjoy your day here at Ginza.

From Higashi-Ginza Station to Shimbashi Station via Asakusa Line. You can actually walk to Shimbashi Station from Tsukiji Market, it takes around 20 minutes of walking time.

We take the train from Shimbashi Station to Odaibakaihinkoen Station via Yurikamome Line. Yurikamome Line is either under Metro or JR line. It was a completely different train line available when you heading Odaiba.

About Odaiba

Odaiba (お台場) is a popular shopping and entertainment district on a man-made island in Tokyo Bay. It originated as a set of small man-made fort islands (daiba literally means "fort"), which were built towards the end of the Edo Period (1603-1868) to protect Tokyo against possible attacks from the sea and specifically in response to the gunboat diplomacy of Commodore Perry.

There are several lavish development projects did materialize, including some of Tokyo's oldest architectural creations, such as the Fuji TV Building, Telecom Center, and Tokyo Big Sight. Modern city planning furthermore provides Odaiba with plenty of green space and a pleasant division of motorized and pedestrian traffic using elevated walkways and the like.

Saw this super funny and random photo I took. After arrived at Odaiba Station, you just need to follow the pathway out and you will see the Statue of Liberty at the first sight. Just check on the map around to see which area you would explore first.

Here at Diver City at Odaiba. Where you can see this Real Life Gundam size, everybody around me is crazily taking photos with the Gundam. There's not much of chance to have a nice solo photo with the Real Life Gundam.

But after we enquiry from the reception at Aquacity, the Rainbow LED Light only available on special festive such as New Year only. Basically, for normal days you can only see the White LED light from the Rainbow bridge.

That's all for my short visit to Odaiba. They have a lot of building to visit such as the Fuji TV Building, Telecom Center, and Tokyo Big Sight. Due to these places are quite further from the Odaiba station where you can actually decide to walk or take a train to Telecom Center Station.

PS: NO naked pictures
