from what i've seen on the internet the residents of tokyo are already living in the year 2050.
i'm not even joking tokyo is popular for being extremely futuristic in design and technology
and now the city's robot restaurant is fast becoming one of its main tourist attractions
with its daily shows featuring stunning visual performances
if you haven't heard about robot restaurants before today it's a famous place to go when
you're in tokyo with all the neon lights and fluttering banners it is an absolute must-see
while you're visiting shinjuku now it is an obvious tourist trap but in my opinion
well worth it the price is a bit steep and tickets may cost you around 70 euros
there's a lobby area to gather at with a very relaxed environment for you to hang
out at before heading into the room where the robot show takes place just take note
that you need to be on site at least 30 minutes before show time otherwise you'll be denied entry
this event might not be for everyone so make sure
to check out some pictures videos before deciding to watch the show
don't bring your little kid thinking they'll like it and expect loud noises and lights
make sure you get earmuffs for your child it is a bit loud if you want to bring them here
there's an awesome dance variety show great for pre-show cocktails
in a lively room perfect for setting the tone
you can also get bento boxes for something to chew on during the show
but contrary to what the name implies you don't really go to the robot restaurant for the food
in japan people are extremely familiar with robots as they've been watching and interacting with
them since they were little as a result of this some of the performances may seem a little bit
hokey but trust me the talent level of these performers is definitely nothing to scoff at
from the professional dancing to the musicians it makes for a great live show
even without the robot battles
they definitely know how to push the entertainment to the next level now for the main attraction
the robots you're treated to literally every configuration a robot that the mind can conceive
female-shaped robot dinosaur-shaped robots even those in the form of sharks and action heroes
are controlled remotely while others are directly controlled by pilots
you're either gonna love it or hate it to be honest but this place is wild
the show is best described as a carnival show on overdrive
it is totally weird and crazy but an extremely hilarious way well worth a visit it's a sensory
overload weird and wonderful you've got to experience it for yourself
the music is energetic and the performers are awesome and give their 100 to the entire show
the use of robots is cool but the dancers and drummers really make this show what it is
the show was quite surprising and unexpected but this is just a show to watch once in your life
it's a one and done type of attraction embrace your inner child
the food was a bit overpriced and not a ton of options so i would suggest a dinner before
or after and just snacks and drinks here the seating is tight so be ready to get to know your
neighbors and it's pretty loud so anyone with sensitive hearing might want to bring earplugs
you are allowed to take pictures and videos without a flash and once you're in the venue
you're not allowed to leave though they do have two intermissions for bathroom and snack breaks
some time ago fans of robot restaurants got a bit of a scare there were rumors floating
around that this beloved place was going to close because of the covet 19 lockdown
prevented the foreign tourists at the restaurant relied on for business to come to the restaurant
and it's not just robot restaurant more than 89 firms have cited kobit 19 as the reason why
their businesses failed and they had to close up the majority of these businesses were restaurants
and hotels so it has been pretty rough for many businesses in tokyo and japan and robot
restaurant hasn't been spared the restaurant has been temporarily closed since july 2020
but wait all hope is not lost as countries are beginning to lift travel restrictions and
vaccination programs crawl towards hurt immunity the chances that you'll soon be able to watch two
giant robots fight it out for your amusement is rocketing sky high much like the robots themselves
