Venus Fort in Odaiba

About

Odaiba is a man-made island offering pleasant beaches and shops. Visitors can catch a great view of Tokyo Bay and Rainbow Bridge from the shores.

In the Edo period, Odaiba used to be a defensive fort to protect the city from sea attacks. Since then, it has been transformed into a futuristic shopping district. Some of the attractions include:

Tokyo Decks: A shopping mall offering views of the beach with various cafes and trendy shops.

Fuji TV Headquarters: Visitors can enter and tour exhibitions on popular TV programs, and get a view of Tokyo Bay from the observatory.

Venus Fort: A beautiful indoor shopping arcade modeled after 18th century Europe. Beautiful fountains and pillars stand below the artificial sky ceiling.

How to get there

From Shinjuku, Odaiba is a 30 min train ride on the Rinkai line to Tokyo Teleport Station. Alternatively, it can also be reached from the Yurikamome line starting in Shimbashi, and getting off at Odaibakaihinkouen.
