The highlight of our trip to Odaiba was the sea cruise. We rode the Hotaluna, and it felt like stepping onto a spaceship. The design was so sleek and futuristic. The staff were lovely and made us feel welcome. Even though it's a popular attraction, the ship didn't feel crowded at all. There was plenty of space on the top deck for everyone to move around and get their pictures without bumping into each other. The views of the Tokyo skyline from the water were 10/10.
Tip for first-timers: Try to time your ride for right around sunset. In late December, we took the 5 PM boat and it was perfect. We saw the city transition to nighttime lights while planes flew low overhead toward Haneda Airport. It made the "sci-fi" vibe of the boat feel even more real!
