Orbi is a new, interactive video experience in Mark IS, Yokohama. It is located on the 5th floor of the building and accessible from the Minato-Mirai exit on the Minato-Mirai Line from Yokohama station. Orbi is a coordination project from the BBC Earth series and SEGA gaming. Orbi opened in 2013. Although a bit on the pricey side, 2600 Yen for adults and 1300Yen for students, it is well worth the experience. It opens at ten, and I’d recommend getting there at opening. It’s also best to avoid weekends and Japanese holidays as it can get quite busy. The main attraction is the IMAX 4D movie. Your admission is based on your movie time. The earlier you’re there, the more likely you are to get in when you arrive. Space is limited, so there could be a delay as to when you can enter. (It is a large shopping center, with plenty to do, but it wouldn't be pleasant to show up at noon and not be able to go in until 5PM.) The movies change out, so you won't be seeing the same thing if you decide to go again. At the time of writing, the current show is Voyagers. In addition to the 4D movie, there are several other movie experiences, a cold room and some fun interactive activities. We went first thing in the morning. And easily spent a couple hours there before it got too busy. There is a gift shop and café. If you want to take home any special pictures, there are a couple photo booths, have some extra yen for that too.
