[Japan trip] Odaiba, Palette Town: Venus Fort + Toyota Mega Web + DiverCity Plaza

Image
My October Tokyo trip continued in Odaiba , which although I had previously visited in April during my last trip , I did not have the chance to complete a tour of the whole island, so I am back again! It is a popular tourist destination and the island is big enough to spend the entire day.   This time round, we didn't spend the whole day again as typhoons hit Tokyo during our second day in Japan. All trains and buses services ceased temporarily or were delayed, and everything went back to normal only in the afternoon. We took the train to Odaiba, and we headed straight to Palette Town .     We went to Venus Fort , and it is said to be the first outlet mall in Tokyo. I love the interior of the mall as it resembles an 18th century European town.     I picked up a Tax-Free Sling Pouch from Burberry Blue Label and it cost me 23000Yen (SGD280).   I personally love the design very much, and Burberry Blue Label is only available in Japa
