Walk across Rainbow
Bridge
Did you know you can cross Rinkai's symbolic landmark, Rainbow Bridge,
on foot? Leisurely take in the views that train and car passengers
only quickly glimpse. And of course, it's free! Bicycles, however,
are prohibited.
Two Routes, Two Views
Crossing the bridge on the more popular south side offers a view
of Odaiba, while the north route offers a view of Harumi. It takes
20-30 minutes to cross the 1.7km bridge, which is suspended 52.4
meters above the bay. Open to pedestrians from 9:00-21:00 April
through October and 10:00-18:00 November through March (entrance
until 30 minutes before closing). There is a midway rest and view
point, and the bridge is safe for persons in wheelchairs.
But I really want
to take my bike....
Bicycles are not allowed on the bridge. But take heart, because
bicycles are permitted on any of the waterbuses that cross the bay.
Pedaling over the ocean may be out of the question, but you can
still enjoy Rinkai's many other attractions by cycle.
