Visiting DiverCity Tokyo Plaza
DiverCity Tokyo Plaza is a free-to-enter shopping and entertainment complex in Odaiba, Koto, built around a central second-floor Festival Square. This page covers the complex itself, its shops, dining, and entertainment tenants, distinct from the broader Odaiba destination guide, which covers the wider waterfront district DiverCity sits within.
The single most urgent question for anyone planning a visit around the complex's best-known feature: the life-size Unicorn Gundam statue's public display is confirmed to end on August 31, 2026. As of this page's last verification date, the statue remained on display in Festival Square. Read the status callout in Things to Do below for the current position and what to check before traveling specifically to see it.
DiverCity opened on April 19, 2012, developed and operated by Mitsui Fudosan. Seven retail floors plus a rooftop level hold roughly 150 stores spanning international and Japanese fashion brands, character and anime merchandise shops, and a large food court, alongside entertainment tenants including Round1 Stadium, Zepp DiverCity, and Little Planet.
Gundam Base Tokyo, on the seventh floor, is the complex's other headline draw and, by several accounts, the largest Gundam-themed store in Japan. Unlike the statue, Gundam Base is a permanent, ongoing part of the complex, not a time-limited installation, which makes it the more durable reason to visit regardless of the statue's status.
The Unko Museum Tokyo and the world's first standalone Doraemon store, opened December 1, 2019, add two more distinctive stops for families and character-goods shoppers. Tax-free shopping is available at a dedicated counter for qualifying purchases, and free wheelchair rental, coin-returnable strollers, and nursing rooms are available throughout the complex.
DiverCity works well as a half-day stop within a wider Odaiba day, easily paired with Miraikan, teamLab Planets, or a walk along Rainbow Bridge. Whatever the Unicorn Gundam statue's status turns out to be on the day of a visit, the complex's shopping, dining, and entertainment tenants remain a strong reason to stop here on their own.
Things to Do at DiverCity Tokyo Plaza
The life-size Unicorn Gundam statue has stood in DiverCity's second-floor Festival Square since September 2017, when it replaced the original RX-78-2 Gundam statue that stood at the same Odaiba site from 2009 to 2017. Its public display is confirmed to end on August 31, 2026, following a farewell performance series. As of this page's last verification date of August 28, 2026, the statue remained on display.
No official replacement statue has been confirmed. Bandai Namco has framed the removal as a finale rather than a handover, though the franchise's history of statue succession makes a future successor plausible, entirely unconfirmed speculation at this stage. Anyone planning a dedicated trip specifically to see the statue, especially for a visit after August 31, 2026, should check the statue's official microsite for its current status before traveling. While the statue remains on display, daytime transformation shows run at 11:00 AM, 1:00 PM, 3:00 PM, and 5:00 PM, with rotating evening programs from around 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM. This schedule applies only while the statue is up and should not be assumed to continue past August 31, 2026.
Whatever the statue's status turns out to be on the day of a visit, DiverCity remains a strong shopping, dining, and entertainment stop on the strength of its other tenants, starting with Gundam Base Tokyo below.
How to Get to DiverCity Tokyo Plaza
DiverCity Tokyo Plaza sits in Odaiba, on reclaimed land in Koto, and is reached by two separate lines serving two nearby stations, giving flexible routing depending on which part of central Tokyo a visit starts from.
Both stations are close enough that the choice mostly comes down to which line connects best from the starting point.
From Tokyo Station
From Tokyo Station, take a JR line to Shimbashi Station, then transfer to the Yurikamome Line toward Daiba Station. The full journey usually takes around 25 to 30 minutes including the transfer.
From Shinjuku
From Shinjuku, the Rinkai Line runs directly toward Tokyo Teleport Station via a JR Saikyo Line through-service connection, with a total journey of roughly 30 to 35 minutes.
From Shibuya
From Shibuya, travelers can reach Shimbashi Station by JR or subway and continue on the Yurikamome Line to Daiba Station, a journey of roughly 30 to 40 minutes in total.
From Narita or Haneda Airport
From Haneda Airport, DiverCity is roughly 30 to 40 minutes away by a train or monorail connection into central Tokyo followed by a transfer onto the Rinkai or Yurikamome Line. From Narita Airport, the trip typically takes around 90 to 100 minutes depending on the train service used.
Closest Stations to DiverCity Tokyo Plaza
Tokyo Teleport Station on the Rinkai Line is the closest station, a 3-minute walk from Exit B. Daiba Station on the Yurikamome Line is a 5-minute walk from its south exit. Both are practical choices; the better option depends on which line connects more directly from the starting point.
