The Statue of Liberty in Odaiba is a smaller replica on Tokyo Bay, with the Rainbow Bridge and waterfront in view. Stop for photos, then follow the nearby beachside walkway for a closer look at the bay and Odaiba’s modern skyline. The statue is especially striking after dark, when it is lit against the city lights. Its setting also makes it easy to add a stroll through the surrounding waterfront area to a visit to Odaiba.
A replica on Tokyo Bay
Odaiba’s Statue of Liberty is a smaller version of the New York landmark. It was first displayed in the late 1990s as part of a Japan-France friendship commemoration. The original display was intended to be temporary, but the statue’s popularity led to a permanent replica on the Tokyo waterfront.
The waterfront setting
The statue is one of Odaiba’s recognisable photo spots, with Rainbow Bridge and Tokyo Bay as its backdrop. A walk along the nearby beachside path gives you more angles on the statue and the water. Daiba Park, the Fuji Television Building and Odaiba’s hotels are also nearby, so the stop can fit into a longer visit to the district.
