The area of Odaiba is well known for shopping and the beautiful sights. This is also where Fuji TV headquarters are located, where you can enjoy a stroll in Odaiba Kaihin Park and admire its artificial beaches, where you can have fun and relax at Tokyo Odaiba Oedo Onsen Monogatari, a large hot-spring and entertainment complex with TV studios and art galleries. Odaiba is also rich of restaurants and cafes, especially if you are out on a date!
Today we will talk about the beauty of Odaiba and our recommended lunch spots.
Great indoor entertainment and shopping
There are many indoor entertainment facilities in Odaiba, making it perfect to enjoy your time there, even on rainy days. At Tokyo Joypolis, one of the largest indoor theme parks in Japan, there are many different attractions, including VR using the latest technology.
Odaiba is also great for families. “Kidzania Tokyo” lets children experience 100 different professions while using real tools and equipment, and “Tokyo Trick Art Labyrinth Hall” is where you can take interesting and weird pictures. At Tokyo Leisureland, instead, you can play video games in the large game center, or pretend to be a UFO catcher.
If you are more into shopping there are four large complex facilities that are very convenient. “Diver City Tokyo Plaza” has more than 150 stores. “Venus Fort” replicates the cityscape of European cities of the 17th and 18th centuries. “Dex Tokyo Beach,”which reminds of a large boat floating on the sea on an open terrace with a wooden deck. “Acqua City Odaiba” overlooks a reproduction of the Statue of Liberty and Tokyo Bay. Each one of these places has its unique appeal.
Quick lunch-spot access guide
In Odaiba, with all its convenient commercial facilities, you will not need to worry about where to eat. Here are our three recommendations that can be enjoyed at “Aqua City Odaiba” just one minute walking from Yurikamome Daiba Station.
Yoshimaru Suisan (Sushi): You can get fresh seafood directly from the port
Yoshimaru Suisan in Aqua City Odaiba, is a restaurant where you can enjoy carefully selected seafood purchased from Toyosu Market. You can get dishes for prices as low as 100 yen (tax not included), and you can choose different types of sushi and have them delivered to you on a conveyor belt. You can easily order from a touch panel.
*The menu is available also in English and Chinese and the staff can speak English.
Many of the sushi dishes are great and well-balanced with the flavor of the shari. The color of the plate itself is different depending on the price of the dish, so it will be easy for you to keep track of how much you are spending.
In addition to sushi dishes such as salmon and tuna, you will also find rolled sushi, like harasaki, and side dished like tempura and fried chicken.
Yoshimaru Suisan is the perfect place for those who want to enjoy a large variety of flavors at lunch. Depending on the season, fish like tuna and yellow tail may not be available.

Gonpachi Odaiba, where you can enjoy soba, skewers, and tempura, is a popular Japanese restaurant celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2020.

The skewers are carefully prepared with slow-burning charcoal, and the noodles for soba are hand-made every day with the restaurant’s unique recipe.
Gonapachi Odaiba's popular lunch choice is Edo-mae Ebi Shitendon, a dish with 4 large prawns for 1000 yen (including tax). This is a perfect combination of crispy shrimp goodness, and the restaurant’s secret sauce! This is a very satisfying weekday only lunch item that comes with pork soup, handmade soba and drinks, in addition to the tempura bowl.
