If you’re travelling to Tokyo with a crew of kids and teens, or if you just want to indulge in a bunch of crazy kidcore activities, this Odaiba guide is for you.

 

Originally constructed as a series of man-made islands—built to defend Tokyo against invasion after the US fleet arrived in Japan in 1853—today Odaiba is home to a multitude of whacky museums, indoor amusement parks, fun shopping malls and a 20-metre Gundam statue (that moves multiple times a day and is illuminated at night).

 

And despite the fact that America never invaded Odaiba, they’ve left a colossal cultural footprint in the area with the establishment of the Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea theme parks.

 

This guide gives you a complete rundown on how to plan your perfect day at both venues, and provides you with an abundance of Odaiba eating, shopping and sightseeing choices to boot.
