Yurikamome (Shimbashi to Odaiba) ゆりかもめ

Tokyo's driverless waterfront line: grab the front seat at Shimbashi and ride a 270-degree loop up onto Rainbow Bridge, with Tokyo Bay opening out in front of you.

About

The Yurikamome is an automated, rubber-tyred transit line running from Shimbashi to Odaiba and Toyosu, and because there is no driver, the front window is yours. The highlight comes after Shibaura-futo, when the train spirals up a full loop to climb onto Rainbow Bridge, revealing the skyline of Shiodome, Tokyo Tower and the bay before descending to Odaiba Kaihin-koen and Daiba. It continues past teamLab Planets territory at Shin-Toyosu to Toyosu Market. The whole trip is a cheap, superb sightseeing ride, especially at night when the bridge and Odaiba are illuminated.

Highlights

• Front-row seats with a panoramic driverless view
• The 270-degree loop climbing onto Rainbow Bridge
• Night views of the illuminated bay and skyline
• Close-ups of Fuji TV's sphere building and Odaiba's waterfront
• Ride on to Toyosu Market at the eastern terminus

Tips

• Board at Shimbashi, the first stop, and wait for the next train if the front seats are taken.
• The best view is in the front car on the right side of the front window for the Rainbow Bridge loop.
• IC cards work; the one-day pass pays off if you hop off at three or more stops.
• Avoid weekday mornings and Odaiba event days, when trains fill up with commuters and fans.
