I was in Tokyo last week, and I got to visit what is perhaps my favourite place in the city - Odaiba. It's an artificial island in Tokyo Bay, mostly full of shopping centres and amusement arcades. By day, it's a very fun place to spend a few hours. Shop in Aqua City, have fun in the Sega Joypolis, take a stroll on the beach. But by night, it becomes a world of wonder.
Venus Fort is an indoor shopping centre on Odaiba modelled and themed to look like Venice. The entire complex sports a false ceiling which reproduces the current time of day - which means that at night, the sky is a wonder to behold. I was lucky to arrive just before 10pm, and as I entered the fountain piazza, a bell sounded, and a spectacular light an music show started.
I really can't describe how magical it felt - you'll just have to see for yourself!
