This is my second trip to Tokyo, Japan's largest city, after exactly 2 years. This time with my parents-in-laws and hubby. We reserved bus for Shinjuku station and upon reaching there at 1:30 pm, it was highly crowded. After spending 15 minutes over there, we decided to go to Odaiba and hence reached the Yurikamome line to reach Shimbashi, from where we took a one day open pass worth 820 yen/person. And this pass is sufficient for us to make our train journeys all around Odaiba for the entire day. By the Yurikamome`s rubber-tyred train, we reached Daiba station of Odaiba.

Once we reached Odaiba, we had our lunch over there. And then we walked
through the shore where we could see some programs being conducted for
children and there were people enjoying surfing in the waves. I am
seeing surfing for the first time in my life in real. It seems so
interesting to me. Then we walked towards the replica of The Statue of
Liberty where we clicked enough snaps.

From there we could see the Fuji TV building also. Odaiba as a whole
had so many changes in two years. The gardens adorned with Tulips when
we visited last time here had some other small flowering plants creeping
all over the ground still with artistic elegance.
The Diver City which was under construction during our last
visit had now being completed and the Gundan statue over there is now
heading up with more pride infront of it. There was a circus group over
there opposite to the Diver City building which was a temporary
arrangement beautifully constructed.

After spending some time in the park around there, we walked towards the
Venus fort, inside which there was a display of cars of ancient Japan ,
which sounds very interesting and it reflected the great status of
Japan before some 50 years back. The arrangement of buildings and shops
recreated there also reflected the social setup of ancient Nippon which
all tells the story of an advanced society before ages.

One of the very interesting things we could found there was the marble
statues at the middle of the building and the roof made like sky and
clouds that exactly made us to feel like we are standing just beneath
the clear sky and it felt to me like it was inside the planetarium.The entire view inside the fort exactly resembles the so-called heaven
in our fairy tales as it is seen from my snap below. So amazing.

Then, we walked towards the Ferris wheel and entered it, from where we
could see the entire Odaiba island's beauty. After that we
just made a round through Odaiba by train since my in-laws found it
difficult to walk any more. Within the train we could see the entire
Odaiba when all the lights lit, on the rainbow bridge and the Ferris
wheel along with the parks and the buildings.

When we said Sayonara to Odaiba once again, I feels like there will come another chance to visit here.
