DAY 6 in TOKYO: Visiting Oedo Onsen Monogatari

Day 6:

• Travel to Odaiba

1. Decks Tokyo Beach

2. Palette Town

3. Oedo Onsen Monogatari

• Check-in Grand Pacific Le Daiba

And... It's time to leave Sheraton and Disney~ After checkout, we went down a level from Sheraton's reception to wait for the shuttle bus to bring us to Maihama station. From there, we will take the train back to Odaiba.

Shuttle bus timing

Maihama station reached~

Back at Tokyo Teleport station, we slowly made our way back to Grand Pacific Le Daiba to put our goodies bought from Disney with the front desk. Then it's time for brunch! We initially planned to eat Shabu Shabu at Tsukiji Uemura in Decks Tokyo Beach, but they have some reservations or something, so we couldn't eat T.T We walked around the other shops but nothing really interest us though >.< No feel to eat sushi that day.. We walked along the shops located outside the mall and ended up in this shop - Shukubou (旬坊). For detailed directions & review, read >>here<<.

Store front

Menu

Egg over rice

Soba

Can't remember the exact names of the dishes; can't even remember if there were English words on the menu actually?? But the shop serves soba, udon and rice bowls. The obasan who took our order certainly don't speak English though. The rice bowl was not bad. The soba was okay, I have no idea what those white things are - they are sticky, chewy and rather tasteless though. There were no other tourists visiting this shop; guess it is more targeted to locals. We saw a few local men dining while we ate there. Note that this shop allows smoking inside.

Back to Decks, we headed to Level 4 where the interior, unlike the futuristic design outside, has a street shopping feel.

To Decks Tokyo Beach~

Daiba Itchome Shotengai 

We took a Purikura at Hollywood photo studio [ハリウッド写真館] located at Daiba Itchome Shotengai 

Find out where we took our Purikura in Tokyo >>here<<

We visited the Trick Art Museum there! A few pictures of the exhibitions below~

Entrance fee: 900 yen

Be a ninja~

Enter the haunted alley!

Take photos with animals~

How many animals can you find?

Quite fun! Furthermore, there wasn't much people when we were there, so we get to enjoy the whole attraction to ourselves! Unlike the crowded and busy Trickeye museum at RWS in Singapore (not sure if it's still crowded since I last visited though)! However, the scale of this Trick Art museum is similar to the Trickeye in Singapore; definitely not like the Trickeye we went in Seoul!

Second Purikura of the day at an arcade located near Tokyo Trick Art Museum

There's a SEGA Joypolis located in Decks!!

Our dippin' dots ice cream!! :P Look at all the flavours!

We shared a cool soda dippin' dots!

Before entering SEGA Joypolis, we decided to return to our hotel to check-in, put our newly-bought goods and take a quick shower! During check-in, we were informed that we have been upgraded to another room! :D Some photos of the room below! Read >>here<< for my review of my stay

We walked back to Decks Tokyo Beach to go into SEGA Joypolis! Admission only pass cost 800yen. We wanted to go in and see if we are interested in playing any of the rides before ending up with the expensive passport pass that costs 3,900yen. Based on their website, they are apparently increasing their prices after July 11, 2016.

Took another Purikura here! Can't have too many Purikuras!~

Inside SEGA, there is a Crepe Ojisan store. 

Menu

We ordered the crepe with banana and chocolate. Tastes so-so only though..

Using the admission ticket, you can charge money into the ticket and use it to pay for the rides you decide to take inside if you have not bought the passport ticket.

Below are some pictures and videos of the cool rides inside! If only Singapore's arcades were exciting as the one in Japan! I will certainly play! Cause in Japan, everything is in Japanese, don't even know how some of the games are played...

Halfpipe

Literally spinning and swinging to play the game O.O

Did you see the turning car? It's an indoor coaster inside SEGa mind you.. 

 Since we are inside, we decided to try out 1 ride! Ended up choosing this ride - Wild Jungle! It's a cool simulation ride. You board a car and you enter into a dark room with a screen. The car moved about and even though you know what's happening its not real, it felt very realistic! :D Bet all the other rides are good too!

After we are done exploring SEGA Joypolis, we each bought dippin' dots ice cream before we left! Yum yum!

Next stop for the day, Oedo Onsen Monogatari (東京お台場大江戸温泉物語)! It is a hot spring theme park with the interior decorated to the Edo period. This is a place that attracts mostly tourists. There is public onsen here and for those who do not want to strip naked in front of others, there is also a foot bath. 

Admission price

Odaiba Oedo Onsen Monogatari

You need to take off your shoes once you enter Oedo onsen and you can place your shoes in the many lockers available. Put your shoes, lock the locker and take the locker key with you.

Shoes locker

After which, you proceed to register at the counter and you will be given another locker key to put your things and clothes. You do not need to carry any cash inside Oedo, this locker key also serves as your form of payment within Oedo.

Main locker key which is also used to charge your purchases

Then, you can choose your yukata design and size before heading into the changing cum locker room. You can wear your undergarments inside but change your clothes to the yukata provided. Then you are ready to be transported to the Edo period. The day we went, it was not too crowded.

Rows of shop~

We had our dinner here! It's in a section where there is a large seating area and a few food stalls.

Menu

Tea and water are provided free flow for everyone

Our curry katsu! As I always say, you can't go wrong with Japanese curry!

After our filling dinner, we decided to head out to the foot bath! It's a rather chilly night outside though! Oedo does provide a layer of outerwear to wear over the yukata but sometimes the outerwear might be fully utilised!

To foot bath~

So pretty!

Soaking our feet in the warm water! 

There's a fish spa there available at a cost

Whenever I read manga, I see the characters trying to fish the balloon out of the water and I decided to try it out!

Caught it.... NOT! I nearly had it but the string holding the hook broke before I maneuvered the balloon towards me! Not as easy as I thought... T.T Even if you fail, you can still get a balloon though!

Lastly, we bought a fruity ice cream to share before leaving Oedo~ The flavour we chose was rather sour though! >.<

After changing back to our own clothes, we proceed to the counter to make payment for our purchases. Then it's time to return to our upgraded room for a good night's rest!

And... that's the end of Day 6!

To Day 7!~
