For those who are still unsure what Iron Chef Tour 2009 is or what it consists of, here is a description of what you will do for you 1 week stay in Japan from 8/17 to 8/25.
Inspired by the popular anime ''Mobile Suit Gundam'' Tokyo Metropolitan Park Association will be exhibiting a 60ft life-size Gundam model in Shinagawa from July 11 to August 31. There has even been an announcement that in August, for one month, the Gundam's right arm will be used for the 2016 Olympic bid logo.
Having the Gundam model and the greenery of the city will be an attraction in which the the city can take advantage in their bid for the Summer Olympics. It is estimated that 1,500,000 people will visit for the duration of the exhibition.
If you are a fan of Gundam and want to see it, try our Akadot Tour and the Iron Chef Tour. We will be able to take to Shingawa to witness it.

This is just a quick little heads up for people in the LA area. My favorite artist, KAWS (who's store, Original Fake, is located in Aoyama, Tokyo), has a gallery exhibit going on right now at the Honor Fraser gallery. I went to the opening reception as was absolutely blown away by the colors, precision, and overall cleaness that the author's works have to offer. I really can't reccomend this exhibit enough! Go check it out if you're in the area. It's free!! Click here for more information.
