Palette Town is a huge entertainment complex consisting of the commercial facility VenusFort, the digital art museum teamLab Borderless, the mobility experience-based theme park MEGA WEB, the live studio Zepp Tokyo and a gigantic Ferris wheel.

It is a 3-minute walk from the Rinkai Line Tokyo Teleport Station, directly connected to New Transit Yurikamome Aomi Station.

This tourist attraction in Odaiba is visited by many people whether it be on weekdays or holidays because of its easy access from Haneda Airport, Tokyo, Ikebukuro, and Yokohama.

In 2019 teamLab Borderless was selected as one of "the most wonderful places in the world” by the American international news magazine TIME and this has led to it becoming a popular destination for many foreign tourists.

It is so large that it is difficult to see everything in a single day, so keep that in mind if you want to leisurely see everything.

VenusFort is a commercial complex designed to look like an 18th century European town. Inside it there are about 160 shops offering a variety of goods ranging from apparel to beauty items and designer sundries. There are also superb cafes and restaurants perfect for taking breaks from your shopping.

The ceiling replicates the sky and changes with the time of day. These changes in color give it the appearance of being just like under the sky and give the space a more open feeling to add to your shopping pleasure. The interior also changes according to the season. When we visited in December shops and other places were decorated with lights.

One place you should be sure to visit when you go to VenusFort is the Venus OUTLET on the 3rd floor. There are about 40 shops here making it the only outlet floor in the 23 wards of Tokyo. Here you can buy brand-name products at reasonable prices which makes it a popular destination spot for those who like outlets.

VenusFort also has a pet shop and shops that sell goods for pets. Stop by here and check out the cute animals during your shopping.

“Look, drive, and experience” at the mobility experience-based theme park MEGA WEB. There are three areas in the facility: Toyota City Showcase, Ride Studio, and History Garage, each having a different theme.

Up-close look at cars at Toyota City Showcase

Toyota City Showcase is an area where new model Toyotas are displayed. For those who are interested, test drives of the cars displayed is possible.

There is also a game corner where you can experience motorsports with cars outfitted with next-generation technology. This is great for children whose legs are too short to reach the accelerator as they can enjoy the experience sitting on a parent’s lap.

This is an area where you can actually drive. The vehicles are outfitted with the same technology found on actual cars. You can learn traffic rules while experiencing the real feel of driving a car! This is a popular spot for families because everyone from preschoolers to adults can enjoy the experience.

Get a feel of history at the History Garage

Classic cars, both foreign and domestic, are displayed in a retro atmosphere against a backdrop of building facades reminiscent of the 1960s in Tokyo. Here you can get a feel of what it must have been like during the good old days decades ago.

In the History Garage, there is also the Restoration Pit where you can see the restoration work of a historic car up close, and the Motor Sports Heritage that shows the history of motor sports. This is an area that will certainly appeal to car lovers!

If you go to Palette Town, why not take a ride on the giant Ferris wheel that is the symbol of the place? From it you can get a spectacular view of many famous places in Tokyo, such as the Tokyo Skytree, Tokyo Tower, and the Rainbow Bridge. You can even see Mt. Fuji on a clear day.

The view at dusk when the sun is setting and city lights start to come on is quite romantic. You can get a very different view of Tokyo from the Ferris wheel.
