Odaiba peaks at golden hour, so this route saves the waterfront for last. Do the indoor attractions and Gundam in the afternoon, then walk out to the bay as the Rainbow Bridge and skyline light up. Flat, easy and very family-friendly throughout.

    1

    Yurikamome out + Gundam

    Stay 70 min

    Ride the monorail over the bridge, then see the life-size Unicorn Gundam at DiverCity.

    Local tip: Catch a Gundam transformation/lighting slot - check the schedule on arrival.

    Seaside Park & Rainbow Bridge at sunset
