The Gundam Base Tokyo (+ life-size Unicorn Gundam statue)

ザ・ガンダムベース東京

Odaiba · near Tokyo Teleport (Rinkai Line) or Daiba (Yurikamome)

The official flagship Gunpla (Gundam plastic model) complex with 2,000+ kits, exclusive items, build zones and displays, free to enter. Outside stands the life-size Unicorn Gundam statue with scheduled transformation/light shows.

Why children love it: Towering Gundam statue that lights up and transforms, plus a huge model shop and life-size Gunpla displays.

Honest drawbacks: The outdoor Unicorn Gundam statue's display is ending Aug 31, 2026 (statue being removed); the Gundam Base store remains open. Shop is merchandise-focused and appeals most to existing Gundam fans.
