Gundam RX-0 Unicorn statue in Odaiba
I don’t know much about the Gundam universe, but I enjoy photographing its RX-0 Unicorn statue in Odaiba. The giant battlesuit is one of Tokyo’s most famous science-fiction tourist attractions. It has become a Mecca for lovers of the giant robot genre. This thing looks fantastic in photos!
As the statue is full-sized, it is enormous. It is 19.7 meters in height. Any person standing next to it looks tiny. And not only is it tall, but it is also incredibly detailed. You can see the individual parts and maintenance instructions cover it. The Earth Federation used the Unicorn in its war with the Principality of Zeon.
The suit has two modes. One is the Unicorn with a horn on its head. The other is the Destroyer, which has panels that open to reveal hidden lights. Both are fun. The change happens several times a day. I’ll revisit it to get night photos. With its lights on, I bet it looks incredible.

The Gundam RX-0 Unicorn statue is a great place to go for fans of the genre. It’s also a great Tokyo photo spot. Please put it on your list of places to visit in the city.
Please remember one thing! There used to be a Gundam cafe next to the Unicorn. That is no longer there as it closed in early 2022. Leave questions and comments below.
