Odaiba is also known as New Tokyo in which we can see many new, contemporary designed buidings. The area is huge and spacious, unlike in Tokyo and its suburbs. It reminds me a lot of the US.
In here, there are some attractions such as Museum Miraikan (mainly about robots), Sony Explora (a science centre -fun for family & visitors), Toyota Mega Web ( a showcase house), shopping malls, automobile showrooms, and others.

| The world famous theraupetic robot - Paro - a seal - we can touch it, stroke it but can't cuddle or hold because it has been place inside a glass. There is hole on the top of the glass in which you put your hand inside the glass and touch Paro. When you stroke Paro, it feels that you are stroking a cat. Suddenly a feeling of therapy emerges. |
