I have posted before about the Diver City Tokyo Plaza, but I wanted to do so again.  If you happen to be traveling to Tokyo and love the Gundam franchise Diver City Tokyo Plaza is a stop you will definitely want to visit.  If you can’t Ken Ikuhara-Gross has posted several pictures and brief history of the site on animenewsnetwork.com.  Above are three of the images he posted in his article.  Their are several more and will make you want to make a trip to see the Plaza.  On the outside of the Plaza is a life size RX-78-2 Gundam (which is the first picture above) and in the plaza itself is a cafe and memorabilia shop.  The 7th floor houses two museums, another gift shop and a Strict-G clothing store.  Make the jump over to AnimeNews Network to view all of the other cool photos and thanks to Ken for sharing: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2016-03-04/gundam-front-the-ultimate-tour/.99376

Something you wouldn’t normally see, but is really cool.  For the “29th National Urban Greenery Fair Tokyo” a life-size topiary bust of a Gundam was made.  It is on display at the Diver City Tokyo Plaza next to the life-size Gundam statue.  The display will be their from September 29 through October 28.  So if you are in the area be sure to check it out.  Below is a video from Youtube by darwinfish105.  Thanks to AnimeNews Network for the link.

If you know anyone that is traveling to Tokyo this is one stop they will definitely want to visit.  At Diver City Tokyo Plaza on Tokyo’s Odaiba island the new Gundam Front Tokyo Entertainment Complex had it’s Grand Opening on April 19.  The video below is courtesy of AnimeNews Network, YouTube, and Mainichi Shimbun newspaper’s Mantan TV website.  The video starts outside the complex, moves into the Gundam Cafe/Gift Shop and then into the collection of models.  It doesn’t show the complete collection, but it gives you an idea of what is in store for you.
