Exhibit Guide Map
 Odaiba Gundam Project 2011, displaying parts of the 1/1 Gundam, will be held from August 13th to 21st at Symbol Promenade Park in Odaiba. 
The Green Tokyo Gundam Project exhibited an 18-meter Gundam statue in the summer of 2009 to mark Mobile Suit Gundam’s 30th anniversary. This display, meant to showcase green, attractive urban renewal, drew 4.15 million visitors to Shiokaze Park.
The following year, the RG 1/1 Gundam project to mark the 30th anniversary of Gunpla was held at the Shizuoka Hobby Fair (Shizuoka), the World Capital of Modeling. 
Two years later, the Gundam statue returns to Odaiba as a set of parts. Visitors can check it out up close from angles that were impossible before, and even climb on or sit in its right manipulator, to really get a feel for its impressive scale! 
Attractions also include refreshment kiosks and a Green Day Zone. Reentry is permitted all day.
The tickets will be issued as '1 Day Pass' and day pass designs will be different each day! Collect them all! 
 
Art for the Odaiba Gundam Project 2011, held in Symbol Promenade Park in Odaiba, has been released.
The design of the admissions tickets changes every day, beginning with August 13th’s Amuro Ray/RX-78 Gundam, then Banagher Links and the Unicorn Gundam on the 14th. The series continues through a hero and his mobile suit a day; collect them all! 
Odaiba Gundam Project 2011 features the return of the Gundam statue featured in 2009. Visitors will be able to experience the impressive sight up close, and even touch its right hand!
Tickets are sold in person. Admission is ¥500, with infants and toddlers not yet enrolled in school admitted free.
Admission is ¥500, with children under school age admitted free. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to help victims of the recent earthquake.
This summer, re-encounter Gundam in Odaiba!
