Rainbow Bridge – Take the kids for a walk across
this gleaming elegant suspension bridge that soars across Tokyo Bay. Reminiscent
of the Bay Bridge in San Francisco, the bridge is a spectacular way to see
the city, and on clear day you can see for miles in all directions. |
|
|
|
| |
|
Tip: To walk the bridge, the easiest approach is to
take the Yurikamome elevated train to Odaiba-Kaihinkoen and walk to the
bridge entrance. (You can pick up the Yuikamome at Shimbashi station.) |

Odaiba – Odaiba, a man-made island at the eastern
end of the Rainbow Bridge is chock full of full things to do. To get there,
take a water bus from Hinode Pier, or ride the Yurikamome elevated train
and get off at the Daiba stop. |

Museum
of Maritime Science – The museum encompasses the history of ships,
not just in Asia, but all around the world. Inside you can steer radio controlled
boats in the water, and outside there is a Japanese seaplane and real boats
to climb on. In the summer, have fun in the museum's water park. |

Shiokaze
Park – This park next to maritime museum has grassy areas to sit
and watch the boats go by in the harbor. |

Ride a water bus – Take the water bus (Suijo Bus),
a double decker ferry, from Hinode Pier (Kaigan). The water bus stops at
Odaiba island and the Kasai Seaside Park. Riding the ferries is just a wonderful
way to see the city from on the water. |
