For those looking to do more than dance at their New Year’s Eve party, head to Joypolis, Odaiba’s indoor amusement park, for the countdown event. The ‘countdown passport’ (admission from 8pm) includes admission to the after-midnight live shows plus an all-access pass to the park’s 20-plus attractions.
Operated by Sega, Joypolis specialises in VR experiences, like the virtual haunted house ‘Sadako' (yep, the girl from 'The Ring') but blended with real movements for a totally immersive scare. Get as many rides in as you can before the countdown at midnight, and then stick around for the New Year’s live shows starting at 11.15pm.
