Visit to Odaiba




Today we went to Tokyo to Miraikan, the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation. They have just installed a new high definition 3D projection system in the dome theater. The inaugural program is an astronomy movie "Birthday" about the creation of the universe. It was quite impressive, with stars seeming to move right past your head. We also watched the Honda robot Asimo put on a little demonstration. You can see it in the attached video. We went back to Asakusa by boat, walked through the Senso-ji temple area and found a little fish restaurant that grills all the fish over charcoal. After dinner we took the train back to Ashikaga.
