You can enjoy it day and night! A complete guide to the Rainbow Bridge

The Rainbow Bridge over Tokyo Bay is a popular tourist spot that attracts tourists with its beautiful scenery and grand scale.

Here are some details you should know when visiting this beautiful bridge day or night.

What is the Rainbow Bridge?

The Rainbow Bridge, which opened in 1993, is a 798-meter-long suspension bridge connecting Shibaura and Odaiba in Minato Ward.

The origin of the name of the bridge comes from the fact that it looks like a rainbow when illuminated in seven colors at night.

This beautiful night view is loved by many people as a symbol of Tokyo.
