Let's walk across the Rainbow Bridge
Rainbow Bridge is a bridge that connects Odaiba. Cars and trains pass through Rainbow Bridge, but people can also cross it for free. I recommend it because the night view is beautiful.

There aren't many tourists yet, and it's a special place with a beautiful view of Tokyo Bay, so it's fun to take a walk while taking photos.
It is especially recommended in the evening as you can see the beautiful scenery.

Nearest Station
(1) 15 minutes walk from Odaiba Kaihin Koen Station on the Yurikamome Line, or 5 minutes walk from Shibaurafuto Station
Rainbow Bridge has a north route where you can see the city of Tokyo, and a south route where you can see Tokyo Bay.
I took the south route from Shibaurafuto Station in the evening to Odaiba and returned to Shibaurafuto on the north route after dark.
South Route
Head to Odaiba with the sunset over Tokyo behind you.
It is said that Mt. Fuji can sometimes be seen, but on this day I could not see it.
The large cranes used to transfer cargo to and from ships are called gantry cranes, which are called giraffes because they resemble giraffes.
Bicycles are not allowed on the Rainbow Bridge sidewalk, so I push them.
Turning point. You can see the sea right below.
North route (Tokyo cityscape)
Proceed with the lights of Odaiba behind you.
View of Tokyo city from Rainbow Bridge. You can also see Tokyo Tower. The view of Tokyo from the sea is refreshing!
Although it is not recommended in summer due to the smell of exhaust gas and the heat, it is good for walks in cooler seasons such as spring and autumn.
The wind is strong, so be careful not to blow your hat away!
