Today we ventured out to Obaida and Tokyo Bay. Built on reclaimed land it is a strange island. Home to SEGA world, Fuji TV (home of IRON CHEF), a giant ferris wheel, a cat cafe where anything cat related can be found and shopping (no Japanese suburb is complete without lots of shopping centres).
The highlight of Odaiba would have to be the enormous ferris wheel - for 900 Yen - about ten bucks you get about 15 minutes on a 115m wheel which gives 360 degree views of the Tokyo bay, Ginza and all of Tokyo. It was a pretty hazy day and it had awesome views - we were pretty grateful that there wasn't an earthquake while we were up there though, that would have been bloody frightening.
Afterward we wandered down the main shopping stip of Ginza - which is pretty much a one-stop-shop for every luxury item we a) couldn't afford and b) probably wouldn't buy even if we could afford it.
