The Life-Sized Unicorn Gundam Statue stands roughly 19.7 m tall in front of DiverCity Tokyo Plaza in Odaiba, and since its September 2017 debut it has become one of Tokyo's most photographed free outdoor landmarks. It is famous for transforming between Unicorn Mode and Destroy Mode by day and for its nighttime projection show. Note that Bandai Namco has announced the statue's display will end at the end of August 2026 after about nine years, so check the latest details before you go.

Good to know
SeasonThe display has been announced to end at the end of August 2026. If you plan to visit, confirm the exact end date and whether it is still standing before you go.
RulesSince a June 2025 mechanical fault, the statue was at times fixed in Destroy Mode and later had partial shoulder-movement issues. Whether the full transformation show runs on a given day can vary, so check in advance.
SeasonSummer in Odaiba is hot, humid and offers little shade. If you wait around for a daytime show, bring water, a hat and sun protection.
MannersIt gets crowded during show times and on weekend evenings. If using a tripod or selfie stick, be careful not to block other visitors' paths or views.
SafetyThe plaza in front of the statue (Festival Plaza) is spacious but fills up quickly at show times. Watch your belongings and keep children close in the crowd.
