Tile (part 3069) in 199 Dark Stone Grey Dark Bluish Gray, with Map With Blue Circles Pattern (element 6226606). The most striking aspect of the part selection is the sheer number of printed parts. This includes four new printed elements, and five existing printed parts. A total of 19 printed parts would be a lot for any set, and is much more than we’ve ever seen in the LEGO Architecture series.

A much smaller part of the model that adds a splash of colour are the cherry blossom trees which use stem pieces and pink LEGO flowers very effectively, with the scale of the buildings giving the trees context. Next to the blossoms is a small part of Chidorigafuchi Park moat, recreated with 1×2 trans-blue tiles, which gets its name from being shaped like a plover-bird called chidori in Japanese. On the positive side, I also noticed a lot of intriguing printed parts featured this set (especially for the Mode Gakuen Cocoon Tower), which I look forward to discovering in more detail as we get into the review. Lastly, I was pleased to see some advanced building techniques, especially for the Tokyo Big Sight exhibition center.

Shibuya Crossing While there are no new parts in this set, there are a few parts appearing in new colors for the first time. Tokyo’s Lego park (as well as the one in Osaka) is actually only a "Discovery Center": it offers indoor attractions, at a reduced size. Do not expect a full-fledged attraction park. Tokyo Legoland Discovery Center opened in Odaiba on 15 June 2012, and features several themed spaces mainly aimed at children. Legoland Discovery Center is however a quite noisy place for adults: a lot of children running around and screaming chased by overwhelmed families or staff using megaphones to call for a quieter use of the place(!)
