About

Opened in 1993, Rainbow Bridge carries the Shuto Expressway on its upper deck and the Yurikamome driverless train and a local road on the lower deck, with a pedestrian Rainbow Promenade running along both outer edges. Walking across from Shibaura (Tamachi side) to Odaiba takes about 30 minutes and gives superb views: the North Route looks at the Tokyo Tower and central skyline, the South Route at the port, Odaiba and the Fuji TV building. Elevator towers at each end lift you from street level. At night the towers glow white, powered by solar energy collected during the day, and are lit in rainbow colours for special occasions. For the classic postcard view, stand on Odaiba Seaside Park's beach as the lights come on.

Highlights

Free Rainbow Promenade footpaths on the North and South sides
North Route view of Tokyo Tower and the central skyline
Ride the Yurikamome over the bridge's loop for a moving panorama
Solar-powered night illumination, rainbow-coloured on special nights
Postcard view from Odaiba Seaside Park beach

Tips

Choose the North Route for the city skyline and Tokyo Tower; you can't switch sides mid-bridge.
Start from Shibaura-futo Station (Yurikamome) and walk to Odaiba, ending at the beach in time for sunset.
Bicycles must be walked on a dolly the bridge provides; the promenade closes in strong wind.
Promenade closes on the 3rd Monday of each month (next day if a holiday).
