Itasha cars are vehicles adorned with colorful, often anime-inspired, graphics and decals, and the Odaiba Itasha Heaven event is set to showcase around 1000 of them. Along with cars, there will be decorated motorcycles and bicycles, too!
One aspect of Itasha events that provides an extra layer of fun is that people often dress up in cosplay, endeavoring to find cars that match their character of choice.
This is a paid admission event, with tickets priced at 1800 JPY on the day or 1500 JPY in advance. Advance tickets can be arranged via 7-11 stores (Seven code: 104-529) or Lawson stores (L code: 32345). Please note if you come in cosplay there is an additional 500 JPY fee.
Getting there
The event takes place at the Odaiba outdoor special venue (Aomi temporary parking lot) which can be accessed in under 10 minutes on foot from Tokyo Teleport Station on the Rinkai Line.
