Why we send people here

Your terminal’s own island: bay beaches, the bridge arcing home, a Statue of Liberty for the photo gag. The zero-risk plan for embarkation eve.

Why it earns the hours
  • Short enough to be certain of: 1 hr 30 min door to door, so even a tender day works.
Before you count on it
  • 1 hr 30 min door to door needs a 3.5-hour call: a 2–3 hour stop cannot hold it. Pick something closer instead.
  • No single published ride covers this one. Budget for a taxi both ways, or fold it into a guided day.
The story

Why Odaiba & the Rainbow Bridge is famous

Odaiba is built on gun batteries laid down in 1853 to keep Commodore Perry's ships out of Edo Bay, later filled in and developed as a waterfront district. The Rainbow Bridge over it opened in 1993. The view back at the city skyline is the reason to cross.
