Japan Day 1 - Gundam Front Tokyo

Our first stop is the Gundam Front Tokyo!!! ガンダムフロントとょ!^_^

Before we arrived in Japan, my husband and I already searched for the location of this life sized robot. From Tamachi (the station near Celestine Hotel), we went to Daiba Station. 

There are 8 stations, 1 transfer (From Shimbashi to Yurikamome Line). The estimated travel time is only about 24mins.

Prepare your cameras (but be silent inside the train) when you reached the Rainbow bridge. It features a stretched and beautiful shape like a rainbow over Tokyo Bay as its name suggests. You can snap a photo of it or just look at it. It is absolutely gorgeous!

This bridge is officially called as "Tokyo Wan Renraku-kyo" (Tokyo Bay Connector Bridge).

At the main entrance of Diver City Tokyo stands the Mobile suit Gundam (RG 1/1 RX-78-2 Ver. GFT) piloted by character Amuro Ray (if you're a Gundam fan, I'm sure you know it). It is lit up everyday from 5:00pm to 11:00pm with steam spewing from its chest. My husband and I we're so fortunate enough to be there at around 6:00pm that time.

At hours of 7:30pm, 8:30pm and 9:30pm you can watch him test his pilot skills. However, due to lack of time, we're not able to wait on it anymore. Probably on our next visit this April.

After we took pictures of the world's only full-sized Gundam statue, we checked out a food stall inside the Diver City Mall named: Tokyo Crepe Girl. To tell you honestly, there's something about the Japanese Fresh Cream that made it so famous: From Hattendo to Paper Moon to Tokyo Crepe Girl.. These creams are so tasty and delicious paired with fruits in a pastry. And some are mixed with cacao, like Royce's Nama Chocolate. So when in Diver City, don't forget to drop by at the Tokyo Crepe Girl. They have the most delicious crepe I've ever tasted! It is worth a try.

Overall, the place was totally awesome! There are also other shops near Diver City that you can check out. Watch the Gundam at night, stroll around the park outside the mall or take pictures of the Rainbow bridge from afar.

More blogs from Tokyo on my next post! Can't wait to share it all to you guys.
