Odaiba & Tokyo Bay
There are good views of the central Tokyo skyline from this park’s promenades and elevated walkways – especially at night when old-fashioned yakatabune (low-slung wooden pleasure boats), decorated with lanterns, traverse the bay. Note that swimming here is not permitted.
There's also an 800m-long artificial beach and an 11m replica of the Statue of Liberty.
