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.
