Odaiba

Size: 21 items | Post to del.icio.us

The shopping and entertainment district of Odaiba sits on man-made islands in the middle of Tokyo Bay. During the economic boom of the 1980s, the islands were transformed into a futuristic business district, but when the economy slumped in the early 90s, development slowed.

But when the Japanese economy regained some of its strength in the late 90s, entertainment, shopping and hotel facilities swept into the islands and the futuristic district was once again booming, this time as a tourist hot spot.

Aside from the lovely view of the Rainbow Bridge or the ultra-modern Fuji Television Building, what might be the most impressive sight in Odaiba is a relatively well-kept beach in Tokyo harbour. I would have thought it impossible.
