The Odaiba Statue of Liberty is the Tokyo based Statue of Liberty, sitting just outside Daiba Station, in Odaiba Kaihin-Koen park. There actually 4 Statues of Liberty in Japan. One in Osaka, another one in Shimoda (Shizouka Prefecture), A statue in Hachinohe (Aomori Prefecture) and of course, the Odaiba Statue of Liberty on the shore of the Tokyo Bay. The statue is 1/7th the size of the New York Statue of Liberty, and was originally intended to be a temporary fixture to the Tokyo waterfront, as a symbol of the friendship between Japan and France – Much like the New York one to symbolize the friendship between the U.S.A and France.
This Statue was only supposed to last from 1998-1999, but due to the popularity of it, it soon became a permanent resident of the Tokyo Waterfront.
The Odaiba Statue of Liberty provides a scenic viewing area no matter the time and day. However, some will argue that night viewing is the best, as you will have the beautiful nighttime scenery of the Tokyo Rainbow Bridge and the Tokyo skyline in the background.
