Odaiba Marine Park

In short

Odaiba Marine Park forms an integrated area with Daiba Park (Daisan Daiba) that encloses a cove, featuring an expansive stretch of sandy beach and rocky shore. It is known for "Odaiba Beach," an approximately 800-meter-long artificial sandy beach, views overlooking the Rainbow Bridge and Tokyo Tower, as well as its sunsets and nightscapes.

• ​Odaiba Beach​​: A white sand beach made with sand from Kozushima Island in the Izu Islands. Visitors can wade and play at the water's edge, but swimming is prohibited.
• ​Statue of Liberty​​: A bronze replica commemorating the "Year of France in Japan," standing approximately 11 meters tall.
• ​Observation Deck​​: Offers panoramic views of the Rainbow Bridge, Tokyo Tower, the Statue of Liberty, skyscrapers, and Shinagawa Daiba.

History and Highlights

​Odaiba Marine Park​ is one of the marine parks managed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Bureau of Port and Harbor, featuring sandy beaches and rocky shores surrounding a cove. It opened on December 1, 1975. The park covers approximately 510,000 square meters, of which about 440,000 square meters is water area.

The history of this sea dates back to the end of the Edo period. Feeling a sense of crisis after the arrival of Commodore Perry in 1853, the Edo shogunate built six daiba (battery islands). The two that remain today are Daisan Daiba and Dairoku Daiba. Daisan Daiba is open to the public as "Daiba Park," while Dairoku Daiba is preserved as a sanctuary for plants and wild birds, and entry is prohibited.

The park is also dotted with small attractions. The observation pier in the central area is a popular viewing spot. Nearby, beside a board storage shed, a Moyai statue from Niijima Island in the Izu Islands is on display. On the old breakwater leading to Daiba Park, there are two stone monuments. One is a memorial monument marking where elementary school students from Nirayama Town in Shizuoka Prefecture planted Kawazu cherry blossoms to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the construction of Daisan Daiba. Egawa Hidetatsu, who oversaw the construction of the daiba, was born in Nirayama, Izu. The other is a monument commemorating the victims of the Great Kanto Earthquake and World War II whose remains washed ashore.

Viewing and Experience Points

• ​Statue of Liberty​​: A bronze replica commemorating the "Year of France in Japan."

Tips for Walking

The park is a 3-minute walk from Odaiba-kaihinkoen Station and Daiba Station on the Yurikamome Line. The east-west expanse of the park spans roughly the same distance as that between Odaiba-kaihinkoen Station and Daiba Station. Starting from the park's east entrance at the central curve of the beach, the Marine House and water bus boarding area are to the west, and Daiba Park is to the north. The Statue of Liberty and the observation deck are next to AQUA CiTY ODAIBA and Hilton Tokyo Odaiba. Daiba Park is about 590 meters to the west-northwest, where the ruins of the battery and encampment can be seen. Since the water bus connects with destinations such as Asakusa and Hinode Pier, you can also plan a walk arriving by boat and returning via the Yurikamome Line.
