Crossing the Rainbow Bridge


 It was a few months ago,I guess, when some of my friends from the same department planned to have one day trip in Odaiba,Tokyo. I am not sure whose idea it was, but it was a great idea to walk across the Rainbow Bridge. For whom don't know about Rainbow Bridge, it is a suspension bridge crosiing northern Tokyo Bay betweem Shibaura and Odaiba. This bridge is 798m long with a main span of 580m.(from wikipedia) It is actually an Expressway for vehicles and public transport. I didnt know that there is a walkway!! The rainbow Bridge has three transportation lines on two decks. There are two walkways on two sides of the bridge. It was a great time enjoying the strong breeze in the summer as Odaiba is an artificial island in Tokyo Bay,so it is windy. We went there in the early summer which was 35 degree in maximum! 

We also went to Tokyo Miraikan, which is the National musemof Emerging Science and Innovation in Tokyo. Then we went to the Tokyo Trick Art Museum!
Below are the pictures I took on the one day trip in Odaiba. Although I have been to Odaiba for many times, this time was the best one!
Please enjoy the pictures below because I love every picture and I edited each of them with my heart!!! hehehe..
