Tokyo Travels: Odaiba

Rainbow Bridge, with Tokyo Tower in the background.

As I’m still recovering from food poisoning, including a lovely trip to the hospital today, here is another installment from our trip to Tokyo last December. This time it’s from Odaiba.

Originally this man-made island was built to defend the capital city (then Edo) from foreign sea attack, way back in the 1800’s. Today it is a popular tourist attraction for Japanese and foreigners alike. Like most popular areas in Tokyo, the best time to visit is at night.

The building itself, as well as the district it’s located in, has had its fair share of incidents over time. (Possibly) Related posts:Roppongi (六本木) “You will never find a [...]

I just love the warmth that these lamps gave off. I also love my Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8 lens, which allows me to take great low-light photos.
