Rainbow Bridge

Rainbow Bridge is a suspension bridge over Tokyo Bay that connects Shibaura Wharf with the artificial island of Odaiba. Opened in 1993, it has a total length of 798 metres and a main span of 580 metres. It is a two-tier bridge: the upper level carries the Shuto Expressway's Daiba Route, and the lower level carries the Yurikamome transit line, Metropolitan Route 482 and two pedestrian walkways on the north and south sides. The walkways allow the bridge to be crossed on foot; the northern one offers views of Tokyo's inner harbour and Tokyo Tower, while the southern one offers views of Tokyo Bay and, on clear days, Mount Fuji. Access to the walkways is seasonal: from 09:00 to 21:00 in summer and from 10:00 to 18:00 in winter, with access closing 30 minutes before. The white towers and the night-time lighting of the cables in red, white and green, powered by solar energy, are visible from Odaiba. It can be reached on foot from Tamachi Station (JR East) or Shibaura-futō Station (Yurikamome).
