Tokyo Gate Bridge from Wakasu Seaside Park 若洲海浜公園からの東京ゲートブリッジ

The 'dinosaur bridge', a 2.6 km truss bridge shaped like two facing dinosaurs, seen from Wakasu's seawall, where on clear winter evenings Mount Fuji sets behind it.

About

Opened in 2012, the Tokyo Gate Bridge crosses the outer harbour with two great steel trusses that locals nicknamed the dinosaur bridge for their shape. Wakasu Seaside Park on its northern landfall is the photographers' base: from the western seawall and fishing promenade you see the full span, lit in white (with seasonal colours) from sunset to midnight. On clear days from autumn to spring Mount Fuji appears to the west, and around 23-24 October and 18-19 February the sun sets right on Fuji's summit from here (Diamond Fuji), drawing rows of tripods. Planes from Haneda cross the sky, ships pass under the span, and you can also walk on the bridge itself during the day.

Highlights

• Full span of the dinosaur-shaped truss bridge
• Mount Fuji silhouette at sunset on clear days
• Diamond Fuji sunsets around late October and mid-February
• Bridge illumination from sunset to midnight
• Free pedestrian walkway on the bridge during the day

Tips

• The southern tip of the western seawall is the classic spot for bridge plus Fuji; arrive an hour before sunset on clear days.
• Wakasu Seaside Park's car park closes at night (vehicles cannot leave out of hours); the Koto City Wakasu Park car park nearby is 24 hours.
• The Wakasu campground is closed for renewal until March 2027; check bus times from Shin-Kiba (Toei bus Ki 11) before staying late.
• The bridge walkway is daytime only and closes on the third Tuesday of the month and in strong wind; check the Tokyo Port Bureau site.
