I have been to Japan 8 times in the past but never made an effort to visit Odaiba till this trip since we were to depart from Haneda back to USA and stayed in Shinagawa for a night. It’s truly a fun place for all ages. Odaiba is a city of its own with amusement park, waterfront marine park where you will find a small replica of Statue of Liberty standing on the edge of the park with Rainbow Bridge and Tokyo Bay on the background. It’s the most visited site on the island. Kids love the fun activities; young adults love shopping for fashion ware, while some prefers visiting the science museums. Ferris wheel and Fuji TV headquarter’s sliver globe observatory are considered the iconic landmarks, along with Rainbow Bridge, all can be seen from the other side of Tokyo Bay by Hamamatsucho. At the waterfront by Aqua City you can include Statue of Liberty, Rainbow Bridge and a tiny needle look of Tokyo Tower all three in one shot of picture, along with Tokyo’s skyscrapers in distance. There are varieties of international cuisines for your hungry appetite or snack shops for midday break. Marine Park is a great location to watch sunset. Night views from the waterfront are exceptional impressive when lighted Rainbow Bridge and small tourist boats shine the darkness of sky. Free shuttle provided by Tokyo Bay bus that loop around the popular sites from The Nation Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation to the waterfront marine park. It runs every 20 minutes till 7pm. There is Rainbow Bus company from Shinagawa Station to Odaiba, runs every so often hourly from East Exit(Konan Exit); turn right you will see a sign directing you to the bus waiting stop. It takes 17 minutes, 210 yens each ride, the last hour of bus return is 9:57 pm., if you miss it there are taxis available to get back to Shinagawa. You can also take a private rail Yurikamome Line from Shinbashi station. If you are making a stop-over there is a manned booth for luggage stored by the west exit( near the Keikyu Rail elevator access) inside of the JR station or just rent a locker.

This is not so easy to find but is a great place to visit as it is interactive and fun for all ages - do go in as even though a lot of the outside is in Japanese, it is free to enter and one can interact with the robots that are generally used for other tasks in the real world, such as car manufacture or medicines and travel in a VR reality as well! The staff are really friendly and we came away with portraits drawn by a robot as well - all free of charge! Definitely recommended Enjoy

Odaiba Kaihin Koen (Odaiba Seaside Park)

Odaiba Marine Park has sand and rocks surrounding a quiet cove that spreads out beside Daiba Park (Battery #3). Odaiba is one of Japan’s lading tourist spots sporting a fusion of natural water and greenery with futuristic scenery such as Rainbow Bridge, the Fuji Television Building and urban resort hotels. This is the heart of the continuously evolving coastal subcenter of Tokyo. You can spend a fun time regardless of the season at Odaiba Marine Park, which is also famed as a standard stop for students on school trips and travelers from within Japan and abroad. Many have been spiritually soothed by the truly magnificent and beautiful sunset and night view seen from Odaiba Marine Park. You can enjoy the view as you stroll along the beach or grassy lawns, or from the observation deck or the Skywalk.

There is nice beach, however if I understood correctly, you are not allowed to swim. Interestingly the beach and entire area is man made. You have nice view from here towards the Rainbow bridge, which you most likely crossed to get here. And you have nice sunset view. There is also Statue of Liberty and shopping mall with plenty of restaurants, if you get hungry.

Daiba Park

"The Jokisen tea that awakens one from a peaceful sleep/With only four cups, the night is sleepless" This comical tanka satirizes the state of strife throughout Edo when an American fleet led by Admiral Matthew Perry appeared in Uraga Channel in June 1853, in the closing days of the Tokugawa shogunate. However, It was the shogunate itself that was surprised by the arrival of the black ships. The shogunate didn't even have large ships to defend itself from an attack by the foreign warships. So it came up with the idea of building batteries. As a result, it built six batteries off the coast of Shinagawa. However, in the end, they went unused and were neglected. They were known as the Shinagawa Daiba, and their designer was Egawa Taro-zaemon, the prefectural governor of Nirayama in Izu Province. The six batteries lasted until the Showa period, but four were removed as part of maintenance of Tokyo Bay, and only the two best preserved, No. 3 Battery and No. 6 Battery, were designated nat

I had read about the restaurants here on trip advisor before I had left home and when we arrived at our hotel our rooms weren’t ready so I suggested we come here. Only a short walk from our hotel taking in the Statue of Liberty and rainbow bridge. In the entrance we decided on a place to eat and headed for the fifth floor, very easy. There are also some great shops here.

Reviewed By 21SamRoss - Melbourne, Australia

This place was tricky to find but we got there after asking a friendly shop assistant for directions. We spent about 2-3 hours here taking photos with western celebrities and Japanese as well. We did some crazy poses and had a lot of fun doing it! When we went they had a hologram show where they scan your face then you watch a ballet show with one of the performers looking just like you. Was really cool. We also paid about 1,500 Yen to have our hands done in wax. It takes about half an hour so get it done and go off and explore and come back and get them. A unique souvenir I think. Well worth a visit and buy your tickets online if you can, works out to be a little bit cheaper.

We went to Odaiba seaside park and came across a replica of the Statue of Liberty. Quite nicely built. No need to go to New York.
