Tokyo City by day (Odaiba & Ueno Park)

I availed the Kinugawa theme park pass (KTPP) which has a service describe as follows; The Kinugawa Theme Park Pass (4,000 yen / $40) includes the round trip from Tokyo and unlimited travel on trains between Nikko and the Kinugawa Onsen area, as well as buses to the theme parks. Admission to Nikko Edomura, Tobu World Square or both theme parks are included (price will increase). The pass is valid on two consecutive days.

Tobu World Square is a theme park in Kinugawa Onsen, Tochigi, Japan. The theme park contains over a hundred 1:25 scale models of famous buildings, including UNESCO-designated World Cultural and Heritage Sites, complete with 140,000 1:25 miniature people. On 24 April 2010, a 1:25 scale model of the Tokyo Skytree was unveiled at the park. This is 26 metres tall, taller than the 19.95 metre replica of the New York World Trade Center.
