The full-scale Gundam replica stationed outside is the most distinctive thing about this Odaiba shopping mall, which has none of the high-concept barminess of the cod-Romanesque VenusFort. It does, however, seem to edge out its nearby rival with its selection of shops, including au courant fashion retailers like American Eagle Outfitters, Hollister and the country's largest branch of Armani Jeans. The complex also houses a bowling alley, concert venue and – no joke – a rooftop vegetable patch.

What’s on
The massive Unicorn Gundam statue in front of DiverCity Tokyo Plaza in Odaiba is getting lit up with special winter lights. Until February 16, you can see the robot illuminated in blue, red and yellow to commemorate the 45th anniversary of the Mobile Suit Gundam animated series, which first premiered in 1979. While you can see this exclusive light-up from 5pm to 11pm daily, we recommend visiting between 7pm and 9.30pm to also see a special show featuring a short screening of the animation, held every 30 minutes.
