Odaiba (Daiba)
Odaiba (お台場), Tokyo's vibrant man-made island in Tokyo Bay, is a haven for shopping, entertainment, and futuristic architecture. Originally built as a series of fort islands during the Edo Period to protect Tokyo, Odaiba transformed into a modern city district in the late 20th century. Its scenic waterfront, iconic landmarks like the Fuji TV Building, and the Yurikamome train line make it a favorite destination for tourists and locals alike.
By the 1990s, Odaiba became a hotspot for leisure, offering shopping malls, dining spots, and bold architectural marvels like Tokyo Big Sight. Its innovative urban planning, green spaces, and pedestrian-friendly layout create a unique experience, making Odaiba a must-visit for all.
