Tokyo’s Iconic Unicorn Gundam Statue Closing This August 2026

Gundam fans heading to Tokyo have just a few months left to visit the life-size Unicorn Gundam in Odaiba. The management has confirmed that the 19.7-metre tall statue will be dismantled in August 2026. Since 2017, the statue has been a staple of Tokyo’s skyline, drawing millions of tourists for its impressive "transformation" sequence. With the statue's departure, the future of the Odaiba site remains a mystery, though many hope for a new mobile suit to take its place. If you're planning a trip to Japan this June or July, make sure to add this to your itinerary before it's gone for good.
