It stands on the grounds of a new shopping/enetrtainment complex to be opened later this month, but you can already see the Gundam from behind the fences. I centered the following map on its location:
http://maps.google.com/?ll=35.624732,139.775123&spn=0.001269,0.001725&...

Get off at the Daiba station on the Yurikamome line and exit to the right and away from the Statue of Liberty. Keep walking along the wide pedestrian walkway and over the Shuto Expressway. Diver City Tokyo Plaza is the first brown building on your left. Hang a left once you get there and you can't miss it....

Does anybody how often the Gundam "comes to life" at night? Is it a one time show each night or are there scheduled intervals? Is there a schedule listed somewhere?

And my previous post refers to this brief show - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZiAI29Pn2o

It comes to life 3 times daily at 12:00 15:00 and 17:00.

Thanks for the info, yllwsmrf

I was just there two weeks ago. Just to add, there is also a `show` on Saturdays at 8:15 pm.

Also, Diver City is already open for business, so you can do shopping there as well. Be prepared though, as it gets super busy.

That's right, there's also a 5-7 min show called Gundam Stand Atop Tokyo that includes video projected on the wall behind the Gundam. Its held weekdays at 19:30 and 20:30, weekends and holidays 19:30 20:15 and 21:00. The 20:15 and 20:30 showing are a little shorter for some reason.

here's a video I found that shows what to expect:

Hmm, I wonder what the regular show is like compared to the stand atop tokyo version? Hopefully it's just of the Gundam turning on, moving it's head and some smoke effect. I think that's what they used to do in the past. I prefer that over the music, video and lights going crazy.

Hi guys, so do I need to register for an account and buy tickets? It is asking for Katakana name but I don't know what to put there... thanks

What is gundam front, is this the same things you guys are talking about here or not? I am confused, going to Japan in 2 weeks and for sure want to visit Gundam. Thanks :)

The show looks interesting, but that's all? The arms won't even move? Still, I would love to visit there next time.

@amuro When most people talk about seeing the Gundam at Odaiba, I think they are referring to seeing the huge 1:1 scale Gundam for free in front of the building. Some people then pay to go inside where they can see various things related to Gundam.

@azyiu From videos I've seen it's basically just a light/smoke show and only the head moves. I haven't seen it yet, but I'd go even without the lights/smoke. Where else in the world will you see a giant robotic looking structure just sitting in the open? :)

@Smithers, thanks, so the admission fee is to the store itself and not to the "live show" for the 1:1 Gundam then?

The life show is free, and the "Gundam Cafe" shop can be entered for free. But the "Gundam Front" mini-theme park on the top floor of the shopping complex is paid (except the shop that comes with it which can be entered for free):

@ Smithers

Don't get me wrong, I would go regardless too. Yet, there IS indeed another life size robotic structure in Kobe, Japan here:

Can't seem to be able to buy tickets though under this link
http://ticket.pia.jp/pia/ticketInformation.do?eventCd=1215947&rlsCd=00...

It asks to register but seems like it is for Japanese residence only, as per the address section?

Is there any other ways to purchase ticket in advance?
