Odaiba: What to Do and Where to Stay

Food · Things to do · Where to stay

The Yurikamome runs from Shimbashi through Odaiba and Ariake to Toyosu, about 13 minutes from Shimbashi to Odaiba-kaihinkoen. Seaside Park, Joypolis and LEGOLAND are 2–3 minutes from that station, the Rainbow Bridge Promenade is a 1.7 km walk between Shibaura and Daiba, and teamLab Planets is 1 minute from Shin-Toyosu. The life-size Unicorn Gundam statue ended its display at the end of August 2026, and Miraikan is closed for refurbishment until 22 April 2027.

Grand Nikko Tokyo Daiba is the one hotel on Odaiba itself, directly connected to Daiba Station. The other hotels are on the same line, in Ariake by the Tokyo Big Sight stations, at Toyosu Station, and at Takeshiba and Shiodome near JR Hamamatsucho and Shimbashi.
