Walking around Odaiba

Being one of the very first locations that we visited when we started this project, Odaiba is still a place that we enjoy coming to again and again, and today we could not resist creating a new “walking around” video of the area and this is just for you!

Also known as the official beach of Tokyo, Odaiba’s construction was initially started to protect Tokyo with a series of six fortress islands build in the 1850s. Today you can only access the No. 3 Battery Fortress or Dai-San Daiba (第三台場) which has been open to the public since 1928. Usually empty, this converted battery is an amazingly peaceful park with a stunning view of both Odaiba beach and Rainbow Bridge!

Talking about the Rainbow Bridge, did you know that its real name was originally the “Shuto Expressway No. 11 Daiba Route – Port of Tokyo Connector Bridge”? The name Rainbow Bridge was later decided by the public after its construction, which ended in 1993.

Visiting Odaiba cannot be done in one day, there is so much to discover there and we strongly advise you to plan ahead in order to not miss anything that this place has to offer!
