A one-of-a-kind piloting experience in the cockpit of a giant robot
Cast off the everyday and immerse yourself in unknown thrills——Japan-born, the world's first piloted robot control experience lab
【Tokyo Midtown】
Operated by MOVeLOT Inc., 「ROBOT BASE」 has two locations in Tokyo, offering piloted robot control experiences, each with its own unique appeal. With the concept of 「a place where anyone can become a robot pilot—a “hero”」, this one-of-a-kind entertainment facility is produced by a cutting-edge robot development team.
At our Ryogoku and Kinshicho locations, piloting giant robots—once seen only in anime and films—becomes reality. In a fully reservation-only private space, you actually board prototypes under development and move the massive machines with your own hands——an unprecedented, premium experience awaits you.

1. A “giant robot piloting experience” boasting overwhelming realism
ROBOT BASE offers different robot piloting experiences at each location.
At ROBOT BASE 00 両国, you can try piloting the original robot “ASTRO,” which stands about 3 meters tall. Active, game-like content such as shooting while watching camera feeds and mini-battles on a diorama field is part of the appeal.
Meanwhile, at ROBOT BASE パトラボ 錦糸町, you can pilot the approximately 5-meter-tall “INGRAM” and enjoy an experience that faithfully recreates the world of the anime 『機動警察パトレイバー』. In addition to the sheer impact of a giant robot that actually moves, the cockpit interior reproduced just like in the work is also a highlight, boasting a level of quality that will overwhelm even non-fans.

2. A cockpit and staging that deliver ultimate immersion
It’s not just about getting on. We pursue an immersion that makes you feel like the protagonist of a robot anime.
At パトラボ, every instrument and switch inside the cockpit is crafted with meticulous care, drawing you into the world of “パトレイバー” the moment you climb in.
With ASTRO, you can feel firsthand how the control levers synchronize in real time with the robot’s arms, giving you the illusion that your own body has been extended.

3. An educational and highly entertaining facility for a wide range of visitors from Japan and abroad
This innovative experience is drawing attention not only for tourism but also as an educational venue. In addition to welcoming Japanese school trip groups, there has recently been a growing number of students from overseas aspiring to management or engineering who visit in groups as part of their school classes. As a cutting-edge site where Japan’s “manufacturing” and “anime culture” merge, it is attracting intense interest from around the world.
