Odaiba お台場 & Tōkyō Bay

Entertainment & Statue of Liberty in the bay

Statue of Liberty (Odaiba) and Rainbow Bridge

On a massive man-made island in Tōkyō Bay, Odaiba features futuristic architecture, shopping malls, theme parks, restaurants and my favourite, its own Statue of Liberty.

Half the fun is getting there on the Yurikamome elevated train line from Shimbashi station (on the JR Yamanote line). Enjoy great views and a full-on 270 degree turn that gets the train up onto the Rainbow Bridge to get out to Odaiba. You can even cross the bridge on foot.

While only 1/7th the size of the New York original, Odaiba’s Statue of Liberty is a tribute to Japan’s relationship with France.
