10D9N Spring Japan Trip: Throwback Times at Tokyo One Piece Tower

The last segment of Tokyo One Piece Tower is actually filled with clip art from the anime. I seriously don't mind having this painting hanged on my bedroom wall seriously.

You can even see a clip from the anime which explains the display. Anyone knows which arc this floating island is featured?

This scene always makes me kinda sad. It's the time to say goodbye to Going Merry. With heavy hearts, Luffy set the ship on fire and Going Merry was given a Viking funeral.

There is a mirror maze which you have to go through if you want to exit the theme park. It can get pretty confusing really. I keep bumping my feet to the mirror.

Once you have exited the mirror maze, you have to go through the flaming tunnel. The tunnel filled with hot wind too so you can feel the heat of...

...Ace's fire fist, which he used often to sink battleships and burn down mighty cities. Ah, such power.

If you can't keep up with the latest development on the seven seas, you can read up Daily Tongari to catch up with the latest news.

It has been a fun experience for me since I know the story pretty well (at least, on the beginning part). I should probably continue reading the manga if I manage to trace back the last chapter which I read.

10D9N Spring Japan Trip: Memory of Tokyo One Piece Tower

There are actually a lot of rooms inside Tokyo One Piece Tower which provides visitors a lot of adventures to explore. Most of the rooms come with character display though. The problem with long manga like One Piece is...I can't trace back to the latest chapter that I read when I stopped for too long. Hence, there are some characters which I really don't know appearing from which pirate crew.

But, at least, I know that this fellow here is the grandfather of Luffy, Monkey D. Garp. The ironic thing is he is also serving in the Marines, the organisation who maintains order and peace in the sea. He has a pretty good relationship with Luffy and Ace though, despite both kids being in the pirates.

And since we have seen Garp's picture, this can only mean one thing, you have arrived at Marine Headquarter. Anyone's interested to try sitting on the Marine Admirals' seats of power?

If you dare to do that, you must be prepared to be punished in the jail, you have been warned!

A lot of colorful strips taken out from the anime, I suppose. From what they look like, it seems that they are taken from the earlier part of the anime.

Just a usual rowdy-friendly night at the bar.

My favourite scene from One Piece saga. Oh my gosh, this is so nostalgic. U_U.

Tokyo One Piece Tower is located inside Tokyo Tower. Do visit the theme park for a fun day with the Straw Hat crew.

10D9N Spring Japan Trip: Games and Food at Tokyo One Piece Tower

Due to its tentatively smaller size (as compared to the outdoor theme park), Tokyo One Piece Tower focuses more on indoor arcades. I guess Tokyo One Piece Tower is more suitable for smaller children than adults. There are so many arcades here but before I take a look around the arcades, let's stop by Frankie's food stall.

Will you call me weird if I say I love this kind of stuff? LOL. But this version of Frankie toys will look good on my cabinet display (if I ever get one in future).

Apparently Nami has made a good living for herself here at Tokyo One Piece Tower. She has her own casino for goodness sake. Are you willing to bet your "Berrys" and play against the money loving Nami? (Nami is my most favourite character and we both share the same interest toward money. Life is tough, babe.) LOL.

Usopp, too, has lent a hand in creating this shooting range. Kids love this game and they queue up to aim at the targets and shoot. Who will be the next King of Sniper?

If both games do not really attract you, how about following Robin to her own adventure?

Robin's Arcade at Tokyo One Piece Tower Japan

The archaelogist Robin is ready to go on an exploration to look for ancient characters hidden around the park. Anyone interested to join?

The little boy can't get his hands off Franky arcade game. So cute. Hahaha.

To be honest with you, there are not a lot of things to do here for adults. Unless you love taking pictures, like me. =P

Taiwan Travel: One Piece Land in Nantou

We were so amazed when we came in to the entrance of Formosa Aboriginal Culture Village because it looks so European. But, when you step your feet in the next section of the park, you will feel like you are transported to the land of Japan.

The culture village seems to embrace the culture of pirates i.e. One Piece. I am starting to wonder if this place should be called One Piece Land instead.

If you do not know about One Piece, it's a very famous Japanese manga series about the journey of Luffy (the one with the straw hat) and his crew to become the Pirate King. The manga was so famous, it has been adapted into an anime and movie. The anime is pretty famous in Taiwan too and everyday it was aired on local TV at 6.30pm (chinese dubbed).

You will see a lot of stamp booth like this one. A lot of Taiwan's tourist attractions have stamp booth. So if you happen to have a hobby of collecting stamp, you will have a lot of stamp to collect in Taiwan.

The stamp looks pretty cool I admit. I do not have a stamp book though, so I stamped my receipt. XD

I want to ride Going Merry and embark on a journey to the seven seas~~~

Going Merry One Piece Formosa Aboriginal Culture Village Taiwan

There are a few rides inside the village, this one looks pretty awesome but you will be wet wherever you sit. We did not bring any clothes so we skipped this ride. Huhuhu.

One Piece Log Ride Formosa Aboriginal Cultural Village Taiwan

I don't really see anything that sounds cultural here but since I love One Piece, this place is awesome! Hahaha. If you go deeper into the village, you can watch some cultural performances e.g. dance shows from the Aboriginal Taiwanese.

If you have enough fun here, you can take the One Piece cable car ride to Sun Moon Lake.
