Day 5 In Tokyo - Great Time At Odaiba

Breakfast At Hotel




































To get to Odaiba, hubby and i took the Yamanote line to the Shimbashi Station and switch to the Yurikamome monorail. The Yurikamome monorail uses the Rainbow Bridge to get to Odaiba and offers spectacular views of the harbor and the Tokyo waterfront area. The stations on the Yurikamome line are fairly close together, so once you have crossed Rainbow Bridge it doesn't matter too much where you get off the train.

















Odaiba

Odaiba was born from reclaimed land in Tokyo Bay in the southeastern part of Tokyo. It attracts mostly young people as a new amusement spot in the city. Major attractions of Odaiba are dotted along the Yurikamome Line, a new unmanned traffic system that crosses Rainbow Bridge to connect Shimbashi Station with Odaiba. Attractions include the Odaiba Seaside Park that overlooks Rainbow Bridge, Fuji TV headquarters and studios where visitors can see the sets of popular TV programs, and Palette Town, a "theme park for women" with an interior modeled after a European city in the 18th century, and which accommodates over 150 shops.





Decks Tokyo Beach
Decks is a shopping mall featuring various stores, boutiques, cafes, restaurants, the food theme park "Daiba Little Hong Kong" and "Tokyo Joypolis", three floors packed with the newest arcade games and more.




Lunch At Khazana
Hubby read about this interesting restaurant located at 5F Decks Tokyo Beach in the travel guide book. Khazana offers all you can eat lunches and good curries plus outside tables with views of the Rainbow Bridge and beach. They have 4 different types of curries and i love its chicken curry which is super delicious and i could not resist having more servings :>




















Just looking at the pictures makes me crave for more of Khazana's yummy curries!!!
