The area
Neighbourhood: Odaiba / Shiodome / Shinbashi
Odaiba is an entertainment hotspot with a giant ferris wheel, concert halls, amusement arcades and lots of shopping. It also boasts Oedo-onsen-monogatari, a hotspring that recreates old Edo-era ambiance and is very popular with foreign visitors. Shiodome has ultra-modern office buildings where you can often find restaurants with a great high-rise view of Tokyo. The neighboring area of Shinbashi is a district of much older commercial buildings and it's a great place to join 'salary men' enjoying a drink and snacks at street stalls under the railway bridges after work.

From the most "central" districts of Tokyo it is practically a trip to Odaiba (changing at least two metro lines), but in our opinion it pays off: the arrival is already spectacular, by means of an iconic bridge crossed by trains and cars. The bay "must" be seen if you visit Tokyo, so as to see - in addition to natural beauty - also some local vacationers. Beautiful is walking, looking around: a bit kitsch reproduction (small) of the Statue of Liberty; particular the Fuji-Tv building (which stands out for a huge globe in the center of it). Rich are the various shopping malls (with a special focus on younger people, as is right since the area is also characterized by a series of amusement parks). In short, we would recommend a half-day visit (including round trip times).

Very nice to spend the day in Odaiba. Modern and old shoppings, modern and antique game games, museums of all kinds, have even the cocô that children like. Different stores and always crowded, last visit had a 1 hour wait line to get into Gundam's store. Restaurants, cafes, bars, etc. There's everything. We've already spent the summer hanabi that lasted until after midnight with beautiful fireworks burning in the bay of Tokyo. We have been on this island countless times and it's always good to come back.

The walks around the waterfront were spectacular especially the time of year we went the cherry 🍒 blossom was amazing. There's a small beach area with fantastic views, small beach side cafe with excellent value food and drink. I think we were a bit early in the season as the ferry into town wasn't running. You can walk along the beach to views of Rainbow Bridge, and The Statue of liberty .Shopping malls and entertainment a definite must.

…and we ended up spending nearly a whole day here. The shopping and gaming options are good because it’s significantly less intense than elsewhere in the city, with the large malls giving visitors room to breathe. Also weird and wonderful architecture around the island is genuinely really interesting to seek and out. Plus it shows a completely different side to Tokyo compared to the main areas tourists are likely to visit. And even getting there from central Tokyo is a joy, with views over the bay of the city if you choose to travel via the elevated metro lines.

A place that is certainly worth a visit
You can go down to the bay and walk along the coast admiring the Tokyo skyline after sunset
The Gundam statue is also spectacular from its 20 meter height
There is a shopping center and a Statue of Liberty similar to the American one

We visited here on a windy winter day. That was sunny but so cold. We just took some photos next to the landmarks and went inside the buildings and malls over there.
The best part in my point of view was the taking train line U and enjoying it's amazing landscape

This area has everything. Real sandy beach front, cafés and backed by malls and other interesting places - Fuji building - Diver City - Aqua mall and more. All easy to get round walking. Plus public transport also easily accessed. Good hotels also in area so could be an ideal base for a Tokyo visit.

Nightfall or night view is beautiful. We watched at night from Odaïba Marine Park where there is the Statue of Liberty. This is a welcome rejuvenating break. Take the automated Yamanote airline and put yourself forward, very futuristic!

Cruising is the best way to see the whole of Tokyo Bay, including Odaiba. It's especially great from dusk to night. We wanted to enjoy a sense of privacy, so we chartered the boat. As it got darker, we cruised, enchanted by the night view.

At sunset, attracted by beams of fluorescent light, by the warm heat of this still autumn that doesn't let a leaf fall... we arrived by elevated train at this artificial pierre that hosts everything. Actually the group wanted to dine choosing from the 30 restaurants expert in international cuisine. There was also a concert next to the giant GUNDAM robot which emitted colors and sounds intermittently, a walk along the pier, a view of the dazzling skyscrapers and a stop at the replica of the Statue of Liberty. The Rainbow Bridge spans the entire bay.

I will be traveling to Japan for the Tokyo marathon 2019 in March for the first time. Appreciate if you could advise how to go to Tokyo Marathon Expo. at Odaiba-Aomi from Shinjuku by rail/MRT direct.

Walk to Tokyo teleport Sta., get on Rinkai Line(Navy Blue), at Osaki Sta, transfer to Yamanote Line(Yellow Green Line), When you arrive at Shinjuku Sta. You can ride the Marunochi Line(Red Line) to Shinjuku Sachiome Sta or merely walk if you please. Tip: at the airport or online, you can get guides to the Metro which is a pain sometimes for there are several levels to the stations. Help/Info desks, Police and most staff in train stations do speak English.... Hope it helps.... and before I forget... purchase the necessary Metro passes (when we went there for 5 days, got the 2-day and three day passes) unlimited rides within the metro and a Suica Pass for other Tokyo lines.....

Hi there. We had jr passes so we didnt take any buses and when we did, they were jr buses. But i searched and this is what i found:
The free Bay Shuttle bus runs along a circular route within Odaiba (round-trip ca. 40 minutes) connecting the parking lots and museums in Aomi district with the shopping malls, the hotels and the Fuji TV building. Unfortunately, stops are hard to find so try to ask at the information counters of shoppings malls, ticket counters, etc.
Hope this helps!!

How to reach this place from Shinjuku?
Written 23 October 2017
We caught the train and then changed to the monorail; if you have a map of the train lines it’s quite easy to find.

What is the best way to spend a day in Odaiba? We are coming from Akihabara and plan to arrive around 10am. We are not so much into shopping, more arcades and looking at interesting things.

Residanna,
Welcome to Japan.
Odaiba has a sightseeing spots, those ones facing the Tokyo bay.
The interesting piece of architecture is the Fuji TV Building,please check schedule for visits.
Eating options as well as Sake tasting places are most of them located in a adjacent building
Easily recognizable because of funny mini Liberty Statue located right in front.
That accommodates small shops: souvenir and curious gadgets. For kids there is a big Toy shop
Inside . About the food, recommendation is for Japanese noodles shop(soba) or you can choose
Several ones with direct view of the Tokyo Bay.
Odaiba funa is the place itself, quite chaotic it charming agglomeration of shops
Restaurants, and some typical Japanese professionals such as Uranai-Shi Fortune Tellers
Wish you an enjoyable day at Odaiba.
All the Best
Quiet Brazilian

Är Odaiba en rolig plats att besöka som ensamresenär eller bör den besökas och upplevas i par eller grupp?

Is it easy to get from Odaiba island to the mainland? Are there easy train connections to the large "main land" train stations? Would you stay overnight on Odaiba?
Written 2 April 2016
It is very easy to get there either by train or ferry. The ferry is a very attractive option getting there. Staying on the island is an option depending on what your length of stay is after all you can only shop so much.

Why do you say to avoid the Hilton Hotel? We are planning a trip to Japan with about five days in Tokyo, and as Hilton Honors members, we have been thinking about splurging on staying at a Hilton there. Maybe there are a few different ones. Which one, specifically is this that you are saying to avoid? Thanks.
Written 29 January 2016
The Hilton in Odaiba opened up around October 2015. It use to be the Nikko Tokyo. I wouldn't know why people would suggest not to go there, I stayed at the Grand Pacifica in Odaiba (across the way from the now Hilton). I could tell the Hilton had a fabulous indoor pool, and waterside restaurants within the hotel. Granted, Odaiba is a 20 minute train ride to central Tokyo, I didn't feel it was a hindrance. The train ride was enjoyable because it was along the water, giving a completely different view of Tokyo. Odaiba offers many family activities and shopping. I enjoyed staying in the area because it was close enough to all I wanted to see, and during the evening, the view of the city, the rainbow bridge and the boats on the water....spectacular!
