Visiting Odaiba, Japan | Things to do in Odaiba (お台場) on day trip from Tokyo Travel Transcript:
Well good morning guys. Today we are visiting Odaiba (お台場). This is a manmade island in the Bay of Tokyo and we have come here because this place is known for its futuristic constructions, lots of shopping malls. They have a beach. You get amazing views of Tokyo. So yeah we're going to be spending the whole day here today and taking you on a tour of Odaiba (お台場).
We've just walked into our first mall (DECKS) and already there is a lot going on. I've seen Hello Kitty. There is Legoland.
There is a Madame Tussauds wax museum with Lady Gaga standing outside. You can rent kimonos.
We're going to show you guys the view of the rainbow bridge and the Tokyo skyline. Rainbow bridge is the bridge that we took over on the train to get here.
At the beach we're seeing some people sunbathing, working on their tan. There is standup paddleboarders. There is a few people swimming.
I'm going to show you the statue of liberty in Odaiba (お台場) because 'yes' apparently there is one here in Tokyo.
We found the robot at the info desk. You can approach her and ask her questions and apparently, she responds. I don't know if she speaks English but this is my first time seeing a robot helping people which is so weird.
I would say this has been worth the trip to Odaiba (お台場) just to see a robot. And there is still a museum that we're planning to visit later on. It is a museum about science, technology and apparently, they have robots in there too.
The tunnel of the future. Of the future. This is taking us up to Fuji TV building. Apparently, this is going to be the best view from up here.
What you doing? We're shopping just a little bit.
we are now at basement level here in Diver City. Yes so in the basement of this mall there is a gigantic gigantic food court.
Now going to show you guys the most famous Robot here in Odaiba (お台場). This one is called Unicorn Gundam and I don't know my Japanese anime or cartoons too well but maybe some of you might recognize him. He looks like a white transformer.
This is the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan). It looks super futuristic behind me. And we've come here to see robots.
We are here for another robot demonstration. Next up we're going to be meeting Asimo.
ime for our final stop of the day. We have come down to the beach and yeah we're just going to end things here. The sun is going to be setting soon and this is just a nice chilled spot. There is someone swimming right now. People are just like getting their feet wet. But it is nice and relaxing. There is a bit of a breeze.
So a good way to end things off here in Odaiba (お台場) with my man.
This is part of our Travel in Japan video series showcasing Japanese food, Japanese culture and Japanese experiences.

Thanks Sarah! It was a fantastic day trip.
Good fun guys !
Thanks! We had a great time.
Nice video! I really want to visit Odaiba one day, mainly because of Digimon, but also it looks like a really cool place 🌸
Thanks Audrey!
I missing Japan,,nice trip guys
Thanks Oscar! Hope you can revisit again soon.
That Gundam is epic!
Thanks! Apparently it is impressive at night which we didn't get to see.
OMG! I stayed in a Odaiba Hotel on one of my business trips to Tokyo a few years ago and did some of the very same things you guys did. I actually ate the same burger at the same restaurant you guys ate at although it was later in the evening and I remembered looking at the Statue of Liberty out of the window and seeing the Rainbow Bridge lit up at night. I was actually shocked and pleasantly surprised that I could find a areally good burger in a Japanese mall. I thought it was D-licious. Diver City Mall’s food court also has some pretty tasty food and the massive Gundam robot was impressive. You can also ride the big Ferris Wheel or see some car museums or test drive the latest Toyota cars on a closed road course there. There’s a ton of things to do in Le Daiba. Thanks for the great video and a trip down memory lane for me. Cheers!
That is so cool to hear! It was the best burger we had in Japan. The Ferris Wheel sounds like a lot of fun. I think you definitely spend more than just a day trip.
Seems Amazing Trip with Super Weather. Watching from Europe with Cold Weather. Have Fun Guys. Thank you for the Video.
Probably i think this was filmed in summer time ☺️
Indeed, filmed in the summer.
Thanks Prabath! Dress warm!
You look happy in ODIBA. thank you for good video. ^&^ u are best~!
Thank you! We had a great time.
GOOD!!!
Japan the most amazing beautiful country ever in the world!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to visit Japan!
I love Japan so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's wonderful to hear.
Sam and Audrey, me and my gf started watching your channel recently and we LOVE your videos. It's always a topic we bring up to each other when a new video pops up. We travel as well and because of your vids, we will be going to Slovenia at the end of this year. Keep up the great work and we hope to see you guys somewhere in the world!
Thank you very much Karl! That is fantastic to hear about Slovenia. I think you'll enjoy the scenery and laidback pace of life.
watching this during the pandemic... ughhhh. Can't wait 'til things get back to normal. Definitely want to go to Japan. Also, Gundam pre-dates Transformers.
I hear you! We so miss it. Hoping to do another trip in the future.
@@samuelandaudrey What part of Canada are you guys from? I'm 1 hour from Toronto.
Odaiba!! that's the best spot for vacation 😎
KUA'AINA is my favorite restaurant as well, I think they serve the best burger in Japan!!
Seems like you guys had awesome day😆
Thanks Rion! So cool to hear that. It was a top notch burger for sure...mmmm
@@samuelandaudrey I am Japanese who didn't grew up with burgers, so maybe my taste is not sharp as you guys. but I do love burger😆!!
KUAAINA is the only good burger restaurant I know in Japan. Is there any burger restaurant you recommend in Tokyo? I'd love to try it ;)!!
Very beautiful 👍👍
Thanks Suay!
Great vid 👍
Thanks Michael!
Gundam is iconic anime also inspired transformer a lot. Very massive franchaise in asia, i remember getting gundam toys for my 8 years birthday. Still best birthday present ever
I really found this video very interesting to watch. You had so many awesome clips from the museum & the robots were really a little creepy. The robots make me think of some of the old SiFi radio shows of them taking over families & the world Lol Man I love my burgers & that one made me so hungry for one Its burger nite for for me.
Thanks Lynn! The robots were incredible and that was the best burger we had in Japan.
Odaiba is so nice! Not my fave place in Japan but for sure it is unique and worth a 1 day trip 😄
Thanks! It was a super fun day trip.
Aqua City is my fave mall on Odiaba. I've eaten at that Kua'Aina a couple of times and always get the avocado burger. Its amazing.
So cool to hear! Those burgers are fantastic.
Odaiba is one the exciting cities in Tokyo. The observatory of Fuji television is round and amazing. 😳😳That was free about ten years ago. There is a famous fireworks festival in summer. 🎆🎇
Thanks Akiko! I really wish we could have gone up the observatory for the views.
Nice trip 👍🏻
Thanks!
Beautiful area, so is Hiroshima..... by the way the robot is great
Thanks Leni! A day filled with robots.
Ohh I love Gundam, im a huge fan of this Robot Series and will be in Japan as well on March 16-28 :)
That is so cool to hear.
Halo Sam, watching this video, I let a deep sigh because I would never ever get to tour Japan in my life! Thank you so much Sam and Audrey for showing a slice of Japanese robotic marvel. Love from Chennai, India.
please visit japan. it will change your life!!!!!
@@wagtailpottery5159 Thank you so much for the invitation. Hope I could find some time among the Indian Family commitments :-)
Thanks Dhanu! I hope someday you find the time to visit.
Awesome video
Thank you!
I see it’s warm for this time of year usually cold till April sometimes.
Oh, we visited last year in the summer.
Oh lol never mind.
Wish you guys had gotten the chance to go to the onsen theme park on Odaiba. A good soak in their onsens are a must for me.
Thanks! Hope we can next time.
We didn't get the chance to go either! Oh well, gives us an excuse to go back at least 😁
@@MillennialTravelConfessions Its worth it. I go every trip to Japan.
Ok so here is my list :-
Osaka,
Kyoto,
Toyama,
Kanazawa,
Odaiba (just added)
Keep the good work guys, i want 5 more places to make my top 10 places to visit in Japan, im on the way to start up my vlog.
Love 💜💚❤️ Japan ❤️💚💜 Love you guys.
lots of love ❤️💚💜💚💜❤️ from India
Awesome list!
Kamakura.
@@jadebench thanks bro
Nice video
Thank you!
Going to Tokyo this week. Thanks for the video!
One thing to do while in Odaiba is to go to the digital art museum! So if you go there try to fit that in the same day since Odaiba is kinda far from everything.
So exciting to hear! Hope you have a great time :)
Thanks for the great info!
Thank you@!
We´ve spent the whole day at Odaiba once as well, but it was a very rainy february day...I so hoped to see the skyline with the lights of the the city and the rainbow bridge..but what we saw was just some misty skies...meh. Gonna come here again and go to the Onsen and then enjoy the sunset. wish me luck =) PS: We had our burgers at the same restaurant btw xD
That is cool to hear Nyan! The burgers were really tasty.
Love Odaiba.... we went there twice in 2 days ... first was to go around all the different Malls & took a few rides @ the Sega theme park
second time was to go to the huge onsen spa where everybody is walking around half naked under their yukatas eating , drinking , soaking their aching bodies in public & private onsens & getting massages.... We were there around February when it was still cold
Thanks John! Ah, the Sega theme park must have been so much fun!
Excuse me do you remember how much was the private onsen there (i mean where you said people were in yukatas..)
Rawa Lee here’s the link to onsen in odaiba daiba.ooedoonsen.jp/en/
That robot was mind blowing
It was a fascinating day of robtos Francisco!
Nice video.
Thanks!
Nice Video Samuel and Audrey
Thank you very much Baindla!
I hope the Sphere is opened by the time i get there in May.
By the way Last year I visited Nova Scotia, New brunswick, Moncton, Quebec City and Montreal in your country. I loved Canada and lots of POUTINEEEEE. 🇧🇷🇨🇦
Hope it is open for you! That is cool to hear!
Hey guys! did you have the chance to visit the Venus Fort mall and the Toyota Megaweb ? I was there in 2017 . Both places are really worth a visit!
Thanks Diego! We didn't get a chance to go there unfortunately.
I guess, you missed the Toyota Car showroom in Palettetown? Plus on the top floor of Diver City, they have a huge Gundam store.
Thanks for sharing that Maurice! We'd love to return again to see more.
Those robots are so creepy...what is the future coming to? But besides that, what a fun day. Shopping! Food! Beautiful architecture! Perfect.
Thanks Anne! We probably saw more robots that day than we will in the next 10 years...lol
I was staying at hotel grand Nikko odaiba from 31 Jan to 2 Feb. This place is such a marvel, but the sad thing is that I didn't know it was a tourist spot while I was there. So I kind of didn't see many things. It is also the first time that you guys and me were at the same place at roughly the same time period.
Wow! That is cool to hear Karanjit. Was it quite cold that time of year?
@@samuelandaudrey yeah it was cold but I enjoyed the visit. Went to asakusa caused I saw your blog and another thing, I got tons of KitKat again because of you guys.
The boat shown at 13:05 is sightseeing boat returning from Asakusa. There's regular river cruise course between Odaiba and Asakusa.
Thanks for letting us know Hyoma!
Did you guys not go to the digital art museum in Odaiba?? Its one of the best things there! Also the Gundam lights up at night and has a little show at like 7 or 8 pm!
Ah, we missed out on both. A good reason to return someday :) Thanks for sharing that.
@@samuelandaudrey definitely have to do that next time!!
@@crome2298 Thank you for recommending this! Looks so cool!
Are you guys using a new camera? The fps is amazingly smooth!
Thank you Rio! We're using the Panasonic GH5. Not new but it has been a while since we did a video outside.
Haha Sam looks like he distrusts all the robots 😂
LOL!
Класс! Мечтаем посетить Японию))За плечами уже более 50% мира, а вот до Японии еще не добрались... Лайк за обзор от Милых и подписка на канал! Дружим с удовольствием!
Is it still that warm in Tokyo ? Or you guys just videotaped it 4 months back !!
We shot this last year. It must be cold in most parts of Japan now.
Hi love the videos. plz can you put prices just to have and idea
Thanks Migi! We'll try to remember prices for future videos.
Is it possible to just spend half a day to see most of the attractions there? Or is it breakfast to dinner type of visit? Thanks guys
Great question Rei. Rushed you could do like 10 or 11am to 5 to 6pm but ideally 9am to 7 or 8pm would be ideal.
@@samuelandaudrey thanks. We'd like to really explore this place, but, so much other places to see. I'm hoping equal time for my wife for shopping and gadget/robots gawking for me. Hoping to find some arcade game we both can get silly on also. Thanks for vlogging
I think you should mention you filmed this in summer time, some people are thinking the weather is now this way.
Good point! We filmed it in late June.
Hi guys, you should go and visit the original and the only one which you can find it in Florence Italy inside the Church of Santa Croce. Auguste Bartholdi copied the work of Pio Fedi "The Liberty of Poetry." The statue was commissioned for the tomb of Giovanni Battisti Nicolini on the 10th anniversary of his death.
Hope we can do that someday!
@@samuelandaudrey I love how you edit the videos. Thanks and travel safe.
I want to visit THAT museum!! How hot was it that day? 90F hot?
Thanks Adi! It was one of the coolest museums we've ever visited. It was hotter than that I believe. Japan is super hot in the summertime.
what season did you guys travel there?
We visited in June and July.
With the sunbathing, surely this was not filmed today, was it?
It must be cold now. We filmed it last year.
At 5:47 - I had this scary scary futuristic moment where I thought SAM had turned into a robot - is it just me.....Audrey..?..:-)
I thought about it seriously but then realized I wouldn't be able to eat and decided to retransform myself back to mere mortal
What month was this shot?
Would have been in June.
This must be sometime ago, probably last year, right?
Indeed, last summer.
7:37 I find much mirth every time I come across a scaled globe model that represents Africa as it should be. My continent doesn't get that much love on geographical models.
I once saw a map of massive countries that fit inside of Africa and it blew my mind.
@@samuelandaudrey It would stupefy many Africans too. We're so used to the scaled down model...is that perhaps why some folks think the continent is a country?
Truly enjoyed this video. Keep it up.
The sign says that the observatory is closed on Mondays. 休館日：毎週月曜日
Audrey ... you are stunningly good looking!!!!!
💃💃💃👍👍
Thanks!
Good thing that Audrey is petite. She can quite easily buy Asian apparels.
is this really middle of winter?? sunbathing?😲
Filmed last summer.
Audrey, can I ask where your dress is from? I love stripes!
Thanks Sara, I just asked Audrey and she thinks she picked it up at H & M.
Thank you! Love your videos :)
@@samuelandaudrey
Ugh it’s a shame you guys were full. It would have been so cool to see a video in a mall food court in japan . Future video perhaps ????
Thanks! We really should do that as there are so many options.
CYBAAAA ODAIBAAAA
We loved our day trip!
and I love you Audrey ... greetings from Berlin
I love you very oshopping
Thank you!
お台場は人工島と言うより埋め立て地、埠頭。
中央防波堤が人工島にあたる。
I loved Odaiba but except for the tacky malls.
I can understand that Alex.
WHAT??? YOU SAW THE GUNDAM STATUE??!??! :Fangirling:
It was very impressive Sara!
Sam when are you coming to india next time you should come with audree
Thanks, Sanket! Hope to revisit again soon.
Bro you are so behind on the India series. What’s going on bro. Everything alright?
Slow internet right now in Patagonia. Hoping to catch up soon. It'll all be coming out just not sure when.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos here’s an idea. Maybe leave yOur editing PC in Canada and have teamviewer or Remote Desktop or some kinda software on it and edit remotely from some low end machine where your at when you travel. You can have the same experience but in a more efficient way. Maybe give that a try. Advantages are that you will almost always have higher bandwidth at home plus you won’t have to worry about damaging your main PC while travelling. This is Ofcourse if your not uploading the current trips videos, in which case this is a no go. Cheers
6:48 GOONDAHM WTF!!!
Hii🤗
Hey Pranay!
HI!
hi
Hey Laura! How are you?
@@samuelandaudrey great going through a rough patch with my boyfriend other than that always looking forward to any videos to take my mind off my life LOL. I think I spend way too much time on CZcams. Always grateful for your videos. Take care
