Tokyo Leisureland

This is what Tokyo Leisureland looks like.....
Filled with loads of games. It's a HUGE arcade.
So tempted to try one of UFO catchers but I didn't because I knew that it would be difficult and I never have any luck with these plus once you've tried it, you continue on thinking that the next chance would be the one!!!
Purikura or photo sticker booths~
Look! A hello kitty one. Spot the small bunny-eared one in the  middle? It's to make it easier for those who want to play to catch a doll. There's a guy walking around to replace or change them.
ooo....Hello Kitty X leaopard designs =  so pretty!~
STITCH!!!!
Little aliens from Toy Story....see, there's always one that's left outside.
hmm...Mickey x abstract art???
Cute little monkeys......
Glamour girl??
Tails anyone???
huge mickey gloves!....and LOADS MORE!!!
I think this is a gambling machine......but I have no idea what it's called nor how to use it.
All I know is that, there are lots of coins inside......
Jackpot????

Vrroomm.....car racing! I love these wehn I was younger but I never win!!!
Oh...and this is a new one. Nope it's not a motorcycle, it's a bicycle! So much for exercise bikes! With these, more and more people will exercise!!! haaha......

Dancing machines anyone? Me? I'll stick to the dance floor.....
And I spotted Hatsune Miku, the 3D hologram singer~!

Toyota Universal Design Showcase

Next we walked past the daikanransha of Tokyo Leisureland to the other building which houses the Toyota Universal Design Showcase.
The "Toyota Universal" enables you can look at a number of technical solutions for people with a disability. In that same buidling, there is also the "Design Showcase" that explains the different steps and research needed to create a car.

This Toyota robot will play the trumpet at specific times during the day.
The i-foot is a mountable robot. Kinda reminds of the robot thingy used in Avatar. I wanna ride on one too~
This one seems interesting....all you have to do is just stand on it. Might be good for people who have to walk long distances. But where does one keep it once they have reached their destination?? I also wonder how good is its stability and where does one puts his/her shopping bags??
See....clever isn't it? Really convenient for disabled people.
No idea what these are... Erm, modern wheelchairs??
I like the exhibits where they showcased all the futuristic looking products but not so much on the research part. Not unless it's medical related. But the design showcase is mostly on cars or other electronic products produced and researched by them. So maybe it'll be interesting for engineers. I saw a several groups of people watching videos or taking down notes of somesort.
