There’s something truly magical about the idea of coming face to face with a famous personality. Madame Tussauds in Odaiba, Tokyo makes this dream within anyone’s reach as it offers 70 life-size wax figures of the world’s influential leaders, celebrities and athletes, historical icons, and even Japanese artists. The resemblance between the figures and their real counterparts is uncanny, and one cannot help but marvel at the craftsmanship that goes into each of these creations.
Taking photos with the wax figures is most definitely the museum’s main draw, but interactive games and activities are added into the mix for an even more immersive experience. You and your family and friends can play digital golf and soccer, take part in a virtual quiz, have fun with a light-based game, and many more.
During the time of our visit, we were careful not to interact with too many high touch surfaces (due to COVID), but we still had our fair share of fun and enjoyment. Here’s hoping that on your visit, you wouldn’t have to worry about the virus anymore.
As you explore the museum, you can learn about the process behind the creation of the wax replicas. You also have the chance to create your own hand wax, but during our visit, it was not operational. It is worth mentioning that food and drinks are not allowed inside like in any other museums.
So, to all my friends out there! If you want to unwind from all the sightseeing in Tokyo, then paying Madame Tussauds a visit is a treat! You'll surely have a fun time “meeting” your idols and taking photos with them. Just make sure to visit early so you can have enough time to see everything the museum has to offer. You may purchase the admission tickets online via Klook or through their website, or directly over the counter. Have a great time on your visit!
