Here’s what to see and why you might want to see it…
TeamLab Planets
This Teamlab site features a literally immersive digital experience, with fish and flowers swimming/floating all rond you as you wade in a knee-deep digital pond. It’s also got a crystal LED infinity maze…
A color-changing bouncy ball room…
…and lots more fabulous digital/sensory entertainment.
There’s also a vegan ramen restaurant in a hut outside that surrounds you with an ever-changing calligraphy landscape as you eat…

Small Worlds Miniature Museum
If you think Japan might be the best place in the entire world to see a model train museum, you would be right. Not only is this one HUGE, it’s got insanely detailed models of scenes from all over the world, plus scenes from famous anime movies/manga, rocket ships that blast off and planes that fly.
•
Tokyo Trick Art Museum
Pose yourself in crazy situations in these eye-fooling scenes that defy both gravity and belief. They change all the time, with a mix of super-Japanese scenes and crazy situations from elsewhere and beyond.

1960s Souvenir Street
The DECKS shopping mall has an entire floor dedicated to old-timey souvenir shopping, with vintage goods and snacks from times gone by
•
Giant Gundam Robot
And since you’re in the neighborhood, swing by the giant Gundam Unicorn outside the Divercity shopping complex to catch a glimpse of it all lit up at night and take in one of the (free) shows that happen every half hour from 5:30 on.

Looking for a book that will whisk you away to Japan, no matter where you are?
“I feel as if I time traveled to 18th Century Japan. An exhilarating plot and characters that step off the page make this a must-read novel.”
—Terry Shames, Macavity Award-winning author of the Samuel Craddock series
