Hmm.. ok, so things keep closing down around Daiba... Interestingly, when I was in Daiba in 2006, it was BUSY, but when i returned in 2007, it wasn't as busy, and there are areas that resemble some cheaply built structure.. .. and in 2008 and 2009, when i went back, it really was just nothing more than just "another area"

i was surprise at the drastric change in a mere few months...
Perhaps you know it by its North American name "Ninja Warrior"? The major attractions at Muscle Park are modeled after the obstacles used in Sasuke.



Odaiba from its conception is what I call a dinosaur of the Bubble Period. The astronomically expensive man-made island was to flourish only if Tokyo and the rest of the country were to maintain a healthy economic growth. There are tons of these dinosaurs througout the country --- from theme parks to large concert halls, from huge hotels to gigantic malls --- all in smaller towns. Very few of them yielded enough profits and most have been closed.


Your Japanese proficiency shall be in direct proportion
to your true interest in the Japanese Mind.
