JapanVisitor.com has a Tokyo area guide on Odaiba. Godzilla fans know that Odaiba was extensively used in the 2000 Toho feature, Godzilla x Megaguirus.
The guide begins with:
Odaiba (or Daiba), built on reclaimed land in Tokyo Bay, is a new high-tech shopping, restaurant, residential and entertainment area in south-west Tokyo.
You can catch Japanese TV dramas in the making at the wildly futuristic looking Fuji TV studio, meander through Venus Fort: a "theme park for ladies" built in the style of an eighteenth century European city, or pay a visit to the Maritime Museum (Tel: 03 5500 0011), housed in a reproduction of a cruise ship, and there's a great view of Tokyo Tower and the Rainbow Bridge. Not surprisingly, Odaiba is popular with the young and dating couples.The guide provides a great selection of attractions for visitors to choose from.
