Rainbow Bridge is so named because of its changing nighttime lights, Rainbow
Bridge spans the bay from Minato-ku to Odaiba one of Tokyo's premier wining
and dining areas. Comprising eight traffic lanes and two rail, the bridge also has
a pedestrian walkway and observation towers. Opened in 1993, the suspension
bridge is 918 meters long with a distance of 570 meters between the two towers.
Another way to see this spectacular bridge would be to travel over it on the
Yurikamome monorail line departing from Shimbashi. Or you could take a cruise
boat up river from Hinode Pier to Asakusa.
Triva
In Sofia Coppola's 2003 film Lost in Translation The Rainbow Bridge appears
during a dreamy post-party sequence in which the characters are taxi-ed across
Tokyo on their way back to their hotel to the sound of My Bloody Valentine's
Sometimes (My Bloody Valentine song).
Again The Rainbow Bridge was seen in the 2003 film Kill Bill Vol. 1 as O-Ren Ishii
and her gang, the Crazy 88, cross it on their way to the House of Blue Leaves for
the final showdown.
Rainbow Bridge is the largest suspension bridge in the world.
How to get There
The bridge can be accessed by foot from Tamachi Station (JR) or Hinode Station
(Yurikamome) on the mainland side.
