DiverCity & The Gundam Base Tokyo

Welcome to DiverCity Tokyo Plaza, Odaiba’s pop-culture landmark — and home to one of Japan’s coolest sights: the life-size Unicorn Gundam standing guard at the entrance. At 19 meters tall, it’s impossible to miss. Every few hours, the statue transforms into Destroy Mode, complete with glowing lights, mechanical sounds, and a full show that makes both fans and first-timers stop in awe.

But the real treat waits inside: The Gundam Base Tokyo, a paradise for anyone who’s ever built a Gunpla or dreamed of piloting one. Here you’ll find exclusive model kits, limited-edition releases, and detailed dioramas that bring the Gundam universe to life. You can even watch professional builders at work or customize your own kit in the workshop area.

Beyond Gundam, DiverCity itself is packed with things to do — from big-name fashion stores and arcades to themed cafés and food courts with everything from ramen to crepes. Step outside afterward and you’ll find Odaiba’s seaside promenade, offering great views of the Rainbow Bridge and Tokyo Bay, especially at sunset.

✨ Why it’s worth it
Because nowhere else in Tokyo blends anime, shopping, and seaside views this perfectly. Whether you’re a lifelong Gundam fan or just curious, this place delivers that “only-in-Japan” vibe from start to finish.

🕐 When to go

• Daytime (10:00–18:00): best for shopping and photos with the Gundam statue.

• Evening: catch the transformation show with lights against the sunset.

• Open daily (check times for events or holidays).

💴 Prices

• Entry to DiverCity: free

• The Gundam Base Tokyo: free entry, pay only for model kits (from ¥1,000–¥10,000+)

🚆 How to get there
Take the Yurikamome Line to Daiba Station, or the Rinkai Line to Tokyo Teleport Station — both are a short walk from DiverCity Tokyo Plaza.

🧭 Waldir tip
Come in the afternoon, watch the Gundam transform at sunset, then grab dinner by the bay. Combine it with a visit to TeamLab Planets or the Statue of Liberty replica nearby for the perfect Odaiba day.

🔗 Book it easily and safely
If you’re planning to visit multiple attractions in Odaiba — like TeamLab Planets, the digital museums, or bay cruises — it’s best to book your tickets in advance, since some sell out fast. Here’s the official link where you can reserve safely and skip the lines.
