Reviews Summary
Visitors praise the Kami-Igusa Gundam Statue for its immaculate condition and impressive presence, especially when illuminated at night. The surrounding area, with its shopping malls and seasonal flowers, adds to the overall positive experience, though crowds can sometimes make picture-taking challenging.
"We taking on the principality with this one. 👏 👏 👏"
Rafael Zapata
"I found this an excellently maintained piece of art. The statue was clean and shiny as if it was installed on the day. There was a huge screen close by with announcements and advertisements. People would gather in the front and there was no personnel to conduct the flow, so there was no much space for pictures or viewing."
Antonio Adaldo
"It was an amazing train ride there and the mall is amazing. The statues are so cool as well as the tulip fields and all the cherry blossoms there."
