Rainbow Bridge ↗
A 798-metre suspension bridge spanning Tokyo Bay. Stand at the waterfront just to the right of the statue to frame the red-and-white bridge together with the verdigris-green figure — Odaiba's signature postcard view.
Una riproduzione in scala 1:7 della Statua della Libertà di New York, che si erge silenziosa sul lungomare di Odaiba lungo la Baia di Tokyo. Fu collocata nel 1998 durante l'Anno della Francia in Giappone e donata dalla Francia come simbolo di amicizia tra i due Paesi. Con la sua figura verde-verderame incorniciata dal Rainbow Bridge e dalla Baia di Tokyo, è il simbolo più riconoscibile di Odaiba — e un'icona civica gratuita e sempre accessibile.
Ingresso e biglietti
È un monumento all'aperto in un parco pubblico sul lungomare: nessuna biglietteria, nessun cancello, nessuna prenotazione e nessun orario di chiusura.
No. Non ci sono biglietterie né cancelli d'ingresso, quindi non c'è nulla da comprare o da stampare. Basta percorrere il lungomare e alzare lo sguardo.
La statua è accessibile 24 ore su 24, tutti i giorni dell'anno. Le ore più tranquille sono la prima mattina e la tarda serata; il momento più affollato è intorno al tramonto.
Alla fine del lungomare dell'Odaiba Kaihin Park — circa 5 minuti a piedi dalla stazione Daiba (uscita A) o dalla stazione Odaiba-Kaihinkoen.
Intorno al tramonto e subito dopo il calare del buio, quando il Rainbow Bridge si illumina dietro la statua — la foto classica di Odaiba.
La Statua della Libertà Odaiba si trova sul lungomare di Odaiba lungo la Baia di Tokyo ed è una riproduzione in scala 1:7 dell'originale di New York. Fu installata nel 1998 durante l'Anno della Francia in Giappone come esposizione temporanea per il 150° anniversario delle relazioni franco-giapponesi, e riscosse un tale successo da diventare permanente nel 2000. Alta circa 12 metri e rifinita nello stesso verde-verderame dell'originale, guarda verso la Baia di Tokyo e il Rainbow Bridge — uno dei simboli di Odaiba e il primo scorcio che molti visitatori vedono dal battello o dalla linea Yurikamome.
The Statue of Liberty Odaiba is a public open-air monument within Odaiba Kaihin Park, maintained under the 'Umi-no-Koen' (sea park) system operated by Tokyo Port Authority (Tokyo Port & Harbor Corporation) under the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. As a free, publicly accessible waterfront space, it offers residents and visitors a place to enjoy Tokyo Bay, take photos and relax, and ranks among the most representative landscapes of the Odaiba waterfront subcentre.

Tokyo Bay · Tides
La statua poggia su una base rocciosa nella Baia di Tokyo, dove l'acqua sale e scende due volte al giorno. Controlla la marea prima di partire per scegliere il livello d'acqua più suggestivo, i riflessi migliori e le ore più sicure.

Rising
Predicted water level relative to mean sea level (metres). For reference only; actual conditions on site may differ.
Best viewing time
Around one to two hours either side of high tide the water is at its highest, giving the statue its most dramatic setting against Tokyo Bay. At low tide the rocks around the base emerge and add depth to the scene.
Photography and light
In calm weather near high tide the surface is smoothest and reflections are complete. Just after sunset, a mid-to-high water level makes it easiest to capture clean water together with the city lights.
Safety notes
Rocks and breakwaters exposed at low tide are slippery and are quickly covered again as the water rises. Stay on the promenade, do not go below the waterline, and do not climb the sea wall.
Tides are astronomical predictions; air pressure, wind and local terrain can shift actual conditions. Please leave some margin in your plans.

The Statue of Liberty Odaiba was erected in 1998 (Heisei 10) during the 'Année de la France au Japon' (Year of France in Japan) as a temporary exhibit marking the 150th anniversary of Franco-Japanese relations. So beloved by the public and visitors, it was made a permanent fixture in 2000, becoming an inseparable part of the Odaiba waterfront.
New York's Statue of Liberty was itself a gift from France to the United States, symbolising liberty and the bond between the two nations. Odaiba's replica continues that thread — it, too, is a cross-border emblem of friendship, carrying the long artistic, cultural and diplomatic ties between Japan and France, and lending the shores of Tokyo Bay a touch of French romance.
The prototype of Odaiba's statue is the Liberty Enlightening the World erected in New York Harbor in 1886, sculpted by the French artist Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi. Its internal steel framework was designed by Gustave Eiffel — of Eiffel Tower fame — a masterpiece joining engineering and art.
Every detail carries meaning: the crown's seven spikes stand for the seven continents and seven seas; the raised torch represents liberty lighting the world; the tablet bears the date of American independence, 'JULY IV MDCCLXXVI' (July 4, 1776); and the broken chains at the feet symbolise freedom from oppression.
The Odaiba version stands about 12 metres tall — roughly 1/7 of the New York original (about 93 m including pedestal). Though smaller, its crown, torch and tablet are proportionally faithful, and it is painted the same verdigris green as New York, so from afar it is almost indistinguishable.
Odaiba began as a battery island at the end of the Edo period and later became a waterfront subcentre through Tokyo Bay land reclamation. Today it gathers seaside parks, commercial facilities and the Rainbow Bridge; the Statue of Liberty stands at the end of the promenade, forming a classic tableau with the skyline and the bridge across Tokyo Bay.
As free, open public art, the Statue of Liberty Odaiba is now the go-to spot for photos, sunsets and night views. It is both Odaiba's visual signature and a unique thread connecting the cultures and emotions of New York, Paris and Tokyo.
Odaiba's Statue of Liberty is a 1/7-scale replica of the New York original, even reproducing its verdigris patina — and the original's internal steel frame was designed by Gustave Eiffel, of Eiffel Tower fame.
History & chronology
Dalla creazione dell'originale a New York all'installazione permanente nella Baia di Tokyo — la storia in ordine cronologico.
1886
The original Statue of Liberty, a gift from France marking the centenary of American independence, was installed on Liberty Island in New York Harbour. Its thin copper skin supported by an internal iron framework was designed by Gustave Eiffel, later the engineer of the Eiffel Tower.
1998
As part of the 'Year of France in Japan', marking 150 years of Franco-Japanese exchange, France presented a replica that was installed on the seaside promenade of Odaiba Kaihin Park. It was originally intended as a temporary exhibit for the duration of the event.
1999
The statue was due to be taken down when the event ended, but in response to visitors and local voices who wanted it kept, the installation was extended.
2000
It became an officially permanent monument and settled into its role as one of the defining landmarks of the Tokyo waterfront.
2010s
Framing the statue together with the Rainbow Bridge became widely known, and the view began appearing in travel guides and local publicity.
Today
As part of the park it is open to anyone, and it offers a different face at every hour — the quiet water at dawn, blue sky at midday and illumination at night.
This timeline is compiled from information published by public bodies, the operator and official tourism sites. Please refer to primary sources for exact dates.
La Statua della Libertà Odaiba è più di una riproduzione — è un simbolo pubblico ricco di significato politico, ingegno tecnico e linguaggio artistico.
Liberty, enlightenment and French aesthetics combined
The crown's seven spikes stand for the seven continents and seven seas, proclaiming liberty for all the world; the raised torch is the light of liberty illuminating the world; the tablet bears the date of American independence, 'July 4, 1776'; the broken chains at the feet symbolise freedom from oppression. The verdigris green comes from oxidised copper — 'the colour of liberty' bestowed by time.
A gift of friendship across the seas
The New York original was sculpted by French artist Bartholdi, with an internal steel frame by Gustave Eiffel of Eiffel Tower fame, dedicated in 1886 as France's gift to the United States. Odaiba's replica continues the bond between France–Japan and France–America.
Background & anecdotes
La Statua della Libertà è più di una grande figura — è un monumento pieno di significato. Vediamo come è nata, il simbolismo nascosto nei dettagli e come è rimasta a Odaiba.
The original figure is about 46 m tall and reaches roughly 93 m including its pedestal. The Odaiba statue is about 12.25 m including the pedestal — approximately one seventh of the original. The ratio is said to have been chosen to suit transport, installation and the scale of the park.
The internal iron framework of the original was designed by Gustave Eiffel, later the engineer of the Eiffel Tower. That light structure — a thin copper skin carried by an internal skeleton — is what makes it possible to raise a statue this large in a windy harbour. The Odaiba replica follows the same principle.
A broken chain lies at the statue's feet. It is understood to represent liberation from slavery, and it is the most direct message built into the name 'Liberty'. It is also one of the details most visitors miss when looking up from the front.
The tablet held in her left arm is inscribed 'JULY IV MDCCLXXVI' — Roman numerals for 4 July 1776, the date of the American Declaration of Independence. The reading of 'JULY IV' as 'the fourth of July' is one of the most repeated pieces of trivia about the statue.
The seven spikes radiating from the crown are said to represent the seven seas and seven continents, or the spread of liberty's light across the world. The statue standing in Japan carries the very same crown.
The Odaiba statue was originally an exhibit for a single event, the 'Year of France'. When its removal was announced, so many people wanted it kept that it remained on the Tokyo waterfront — a story that says a lot about how the city took it to heart.
Essendo un landmark molto fotogenico, alcuni punti di vista e orari ben scelti aumentano molto l'utilità e la bellezza delle tue foto.
📍 Odaiba Kaihin Park waterfront
A level, head-on view from the promenade is the safest angle to recreate the 'New York' composition. With Tokyo Bay and sky as background, you get a clean, symmetrical full-body portrait.
📍 Waterfront platform to the statue's right
Move to the right of the statue to bring the Rainbow Bridge into frame. The red-and-white suspension bridge against the green statue creates a striking colour contrast — Odaiba's most recognisable postcard view.
📍 West-facing promenade toward Tokyo Bay
Around sunset the backlight gilds the statue; after dark the Rainbow Bridge lights up and the statue glows in the blue hour against the city — the most atmospheric moment.
📍 Water bus / opposite-shore view
Approaching Odaiba by water bus from Asakusa or Hinode, you see the statue at eye level from the bay; on calm days the statue and Rainbow Bridge reflect on Tokyo Bay — a unique sea-level perspective.
In aereo, treno, trasporto pubblico, auto, taxi, bicicletta o battello — ogni opzione è descritta qui sotto, con parcheggi e domande frequenti.
Tokyo is reached via Narita or Haneda airports, the Tokaido Shinkansen or highway buses. Once in the city, Odaiba lies on reclaimed land in Tokyo Bay, Minato Ward. The most convenient rail lines are the Yurikamome (from Shimbashi) and the Rinkai Line (Tokyo Teleport Station); from either, a short walk brings you to the statue.
The statue is free and open 24 hours, at the end of the Odaiba Kaihin Park seaside promenade, framed with the Rainbow Bridge and the Tokyo Bay skyline. Plan your transport, parking and walking route together to avoid on-site confusion and congestion.
By Air (Haneda / Narita)
Best for overseas and long-distance domestic travellers; Haneda is closer, Narita has more flights.
Train / Private Rail
The most convenient and recommended way to the statue.
Public Transit (Rinkai Line)
Most direct from Shinjuku, Shibuya and Ikebukuro.
By Car (Parking)
Good with luggage, children/seniors, or for a bay-circling drive. No statue-only lot — use nearby commercial facilities.
Taxi / Rideshare
Easiest with luggage, children/seniors, or late-night arrival.
Cycling / Water Bus
The most relaxing, photo-friendly way to enjoy the city.
On Foot
If you're already in Odaiba, walking is the most natural way to arrive.
The statue has no own parking lot. The options below are the nearest major paid lots; rates and availability vary by season and time — please follow on-site signs.

I commenti dei visitatori sono disponibili su Google Maps (link esterno).
A pleasant surprise while walking Odaiba Kaihin Park. Smaller than New York but the verdigris green with the Rainbow Bridge is very photogenic — strongly recommend coming at dusk.
Spotted it from the Yurikamome train. Free and open 24 hours, beautifully lit at night — perfect for an after-dinner walk.
Meaningful as a symbol of Franco-Japanese friendship, with many photo angles. Busy on weekends; weekdays are calmer.
Easy to combine with nearby Aqua City and DiverCity; malls have restrooms and food, so it's relaxed even with kids.

Una statua da New York, nata a Parigi, radicata nella Baia di Tokyo — dietro ci sono più racconti di città, cultura e diplomazia.
In 1998, the 'Year of France in Japan' marked 150 years of Franco-Japanese relations, and the Statue of Liberty arrived as a symbol of friendship. It turns abstract diplomatic goodwill into a touchable, photo-friendly public landscape, continuing the tradition of 'France giving statues'.
Odaiba — once industrial reclaimed land — was transformed into a citizens' and visitors' waterfront leisure zone through seaside parks, commercial facilities and iconic public art. The Statue of Liberty is a microcosm of this 'culture activates urban space' strategy.
The same statue links New York (liberty), Paris (creation and gift) and Tokyo (friendship and localisation). It reminds us that great civic symbols often belong to all humanity, not just one city.
Ogni visitatore può scegliere l'approccio più adatto a sé.

Informazioni pratiche su servizi, storia della statua e pianificazione della visita alla Statua della Libertà Odaiba.
La statua non ha un parcheggio dedicato, ma le strutture commerciali vicine — Aqua City, DECKS Tokyo Beach, DiverCity Tokyo Plaza — dispongono di parcheggi a pagamento a pochi minuti a piedi. Le tariffe sono di solito orarie; si riempiono rapidamente nei fine settimana, nei festivi e per la vista notturna, quindi arriva presto o preferisci il trasporto pubblico.
Sì. La statua si trova nell'Odaiba Kaihin Park su un lungomare aperto, completamente pianeggiante e senza gradini, quindi sedie a rotelle, passeggini e ausili per il cammino si muovono agevolmente; lungo il percorso ci sono rampe e bagni accessibili.
Alla statua non ci sono bagni autonomi, ma Aqua City, DECKS e DiverCity sono a pochi minuti a piedi, con bagni pubblici, caffè, ristoranti e minimarket — quindi trovare cibo e servizi è molto comodo.
È una riproduzione in scala 1:7 della Statua della Libertà di New York, eretta nel 1998 durante l'Anno della Francia in Giappone per il 150° anniversario delle relazioni franco-giapponesi, a simbolo dell'amicizia tra Francia e Giappone. Inizialmente esposizione temporanea, è diventata permanente nel 2000.
La versione di Odaiba riproduce fedelmente proporzioni e forma dell'originale di New York, ricreandone anche la patina verde-verderame. L'originale di New York fu creato da Bartholdi con una struttura interna in acciaio di Gustave Eiffel e inaugurato nel 1886 come dono francese agli Stati Uniti — la riproduzione di Odaiba ne continua il legame internazionale.
No. La Statua della Libertà Odaiba è un monumento all'aperto in un parco pubblico sul mare — gratuita e accessibile a qualsiasi ora, senza biglietteria né cancelli (i servizi dei centri commerciali vicini sono separati).
Una visita tipica dura da 30 minuti a un'ora: arrivare, scattare foto, percorrere il lungomare e magari riposarsi su una panchina. Prevedi più tempo se visiti anche Aqua City o DiverCity (Unicorn Gundam).
Sì — è uno spazio pubblico all'aperto, visitabile con qualsiasi tempo. Tuttavia sul mare c'è vento e in estate l'ombra è scarsa, quindi porta acqua e protezione solare; in inverno e dopo la pioggia si sente più freddo e i percorsi possono essere scivolosi — vestiti contro vento e freddo.
La statua è proprio accanto al Rainbow Bridge e al lungomare della Baia di Tokyo, a distanza pedonale da Aqua City, DECKS Tokyo Beach, DiverCity Tokyo Plaza (Unicorn Gundam) e dall'edificio Fuji Television. Poco più lontano ci sono l'Odaiba Kaihin Park, il Tokyo Big Sight e la linea del battello per Asakusa.
