Odaiba, Tokyo may have a giant Gundam Robot, but they feature a moving Gundam at Yamashita Pier. Yes, it moves; this 18-m robot moves like the one in the anime! Such great work from technicians, engineers, and creators. If you want to see it, you can go to Gundam Factory Yokohama to see it move and learn how it can. You can see it up close or to the best angle, too!

When traveling, I absolutely love having fun, so amusement parks a great place to visit. If you are in this city, one thing that attracts your attention is that colorful Ferris wheel named “Cosmo Clock 21”. Riding is one of the best things to do in Yokohama.
