Odaiba Statue of Liberty
The Statue of Liberty in Odaiba, standing against the backdrop of the Rainbow Bridge, symbolizes the friendship between Japan and France. Initially brought to Odaiba from Paris in 1998 as a temporary exhibit, the site continues to draw immense fandom to this day. With official permission from the city of Paris, it was permanently installed in 2000.
Odaiba is a popular waterfront spot in Tokyo, with well-known landmarks like the Statue of Liberty and Rainbow Bridge. It combines shopping, food, entertainment, and ocean views. It’s great for a relaxing stroll during the day, and at night the lights are gorgeous, creating a really romantic atmosphere.

San'en-zan Kodo-in Zojoji Temple
Located at the base of Tokyo Tower is Zojoji, an Omotoyama temple of the Jodo sect of Buddhism. Enshrined in Zojoji's Ankokuden Hall is the hidden black image of Buddha worshipped by Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shogun of the Edo period. Since he won one battle after after another, visiting this temple is said to increase the chance of victory.
Zojoji Temple is a historic temple with a solemn, dignified atmosphere. The temple and Tokyo Tower complement each other beautifully, creating a unique view. The grounds are quiet and peaceful, full of culture and history. It’s a worthwhile place to visit and pay respects in central Tokyo.

Tokyo Station: Marunouchi Station Building
The construction of Japan’s front gate, Tokyo Station, began in March, 1908 and it was opened in December, 1914. Kingo Tatsuno, the pioneer of modern architecture in Japan, designed it. The steel-framed, brick Marunouchi Station building was burned on the roof and interior in the 1945 air raid.
Tokyo Station blends historic and modern styles, with its elegant and impressive red-brick station building. It’s a major transportation hub in Tokyo. Inside, there are plenty of dining options, souvenir shops, and stores, making it convenient whether you’re taking photos, shopping, or transferring trains. It’s a must-visit landmark when traveling in Tokyo.
