Ghostly Odaiba

A rainy day in Tokyo with an approaching typhoon

Odaiba Ferris Wheel is 115 meters tall and is one of the biggest in the world

Mirror "endless" passages leading to Odaiba

It felt srange with no people around...

I had the idea of being in "another reality"

Skyscrapers of Odaiba

I was the only one to take a ride!

I chose a transparent cabin

The view of skyscrapers and Tokyo (the rain has started)

Waterfront of Odaiba

Fuji TV building

Getting higher...

Wind and rain became stronger

One more view from the height

Ghostly buildings

From the waterfront, the weather didn't appeal to me

Even Kitty Shop was deserted!

I really felt like being in "another world"

No one in my sight...

Again strange objects and no people

In the cafe I was alone, too!

Visiting that mysterious building I left for later.

Before coming to Tokyo, I was told that Odaiba is the place that I must visit! I had it on my schedule, but when I came to Odaiba I was surprised that the place was deserted. I walked to the Ferris Wheel and to the waterfront, but did not run into anybody at all. I saw cars, but there were no people walking around. I went to the Ferris Wheel when it started to rain and I was absolutely alone taking a ride. Approaching the top, my cabin rocked and the wind roared, so it was a bit scary. I saw the shapes of buildings that looked like shadows or a ghostly city. From the Ferris Wheel, I had to run towards the station as the rain became heavier. I met no one again, and even in a cafe where I decided to have a lunch I was alone. The weather made for a really strange visit, but I enjoyed it anyway!

Wow, no crowds at all! It really does look so different when it's empty!

Yeah, it was very strange and surreal I'd say!
