19: Pokemon & Gundam Front


Today has been a fun filled day!

We had two main goals today: Pokemon Center Mega Tokyo and Gundam Front! And it was a success!

We went to Ikebukuro Pokémon Center Mega Tokyo and boy there was a lot of Pokémon items! There were tons of toys but no Pikachu dressed up as Charizard.. I'll probably be visiting it next week. So maybe I'll check back again on inventory as they have new stuff next week.

We went for some lunch, however I got distracted in the Disney Store. I caved and bought a Chip and Dale Bag! It was so cute!
We found a nice restaurant that did skewers called "Dorijin (とりじん)". It was a nice find inside the Food section of Sunshine City in the same building as Pokemon Center. It was quite delicious!

We went to Odaiba for Gundam Front. It was a sight to see! There was the famous huge Gundam in front of Diver City. It was really huge and clearly a tourist attraction! Also, it looked like the mall was designed for the foreigners coming via tour buses and the ferry dock. There were a lot of american chains as well as local and gift stores as well.

We went to the nearby Pallet Town for the name. We also saw the Toyota Mega Web (which had tons of cool Toyota car stuff) in VenusFort that reminded me of Macau's Venetian Hotel.

Afterwards, we went back to Shinjuku Station for dinner. We went to the local Yoshinoya and then went back to our place near Tsurukawa Station.

And now I'm getting my butt kicked in cards. Another day, another adventure!
