Rainbow Bridge from Odaiba

This pic was taken by my bestfriend at Odaiba. A very famous place at Tokyo. Usually you can see this Rainbow Bridge in Japanese Drama. There's also a miniature Statue of Liberty here.

| Quote: | | So named because of its changing nighttime lights, Rainbow Bridge spans the bay from Minato-ku to Odaiba one of Tokyo's premier wining and dining areas. Comprising eight traffic lanes and two rail, the bridge also has a pedestrian walkway and observation towers. Opened in 1993, the suspension bridge is 918 meters long with a distance of 570 meters between the two towers. Another way to see this spectacular bridge would be to travel over it on the Yurikamome monorail line departing from Shimbashi. Or you could take a cruise boat up river from Hinode Pier to Asakusa. To take the walkway, get off at Shibaura-Futo Station on the Yurikamome line |
Odaiba
Excerpt from Japan-Guide http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3008.html
| Quote: | Daiba, literally meaning "fort", refers to some of the man made islands in the Bay of Tokyo, which were constructed in the end of the Edo Period (1603-1868) for the city's protection against attacks from the sea.
During the extravagant 1980s, a spectacular redevelopment of the islands into a futuristic business district was started, but development was critically slowed down after the burst of the "bubble economy" in the early 1990s.
It was not until the second half of the 1990s, that Odaiba developed into one of Tokyo's most interesting tourist spots and the highly popular shopping and entertainment district, which it is today. Further development of the area is still underway. |
