A huge man-made island in Tokyo Bay, Odaiba is home to numerous hotels and entertainment complexes, along with the really cool Miraikan Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation.

This place was enormous, with tons of interactive exhibits on everything from robotics and space exploration to environmental issues. No wonder Japanese kids are so smart!

Odaiba also sports one of the largest ferriss wheels in the world, nearly twice the size of the Texas Star in Dallas.

And there’s a charming waterfront, with great views of Tokyo Bay, and even a small Statue of Liberty.

Not a bad field trip!

Sounds like fun! The ferris wheel reminds me of my ride on the London Eye!
