Statue of Liberty and Aqua City
Third stop, the Statue of Liberty and Aqua City.
Some great pictures of Odaiba (not taken by me) can be seen here.
I've been searching on the Internet as well as my three Japan tour books and no one can tell me why there is a Statue of Liberty on the island of Odaiba. *shrug* Oh, well. Took a pretty picture, nonetheless.
Pass through Aqua City (through a VERY cool passageway between Aqua City and Mediage showcase by Sony) into the Mediage area and you've entered another world. There is a huge cineplex, more shopping, a really cool Sony Showcase area (showing the latest and greatest Sony products to play with), and even a World of Coca-Cola.
An employee in the Sony area brought Andrew a Wallace & Grommit coloring page and some crayons. She then took a picture of him with a one of the showcase Sony digital cameras and printed it out on a Sony photo printer for us. Marketing, ya think?
Andrew and "Kenta" in a playhouse inside Aqua City (what we've named the Hilton dog mascot of Andrew's)
A lovely advertisement outside of a store. I *think* they are advertising their bluejeans.
$40 for a child's haircut???
On the way home...
