Come and walk across Tokyo's Rainbow Bridge with me! This iconic bridge was opened in 1993 and is 798 meters (2,618 ft) in total length. The span of the bridge is 580 meters (1,903 ft).
Along the bridge are two pedestrian walkways, one on the north side and one on the south side. The north side faces Tokyo's beautiful skyline and gives you great views of Tokyo Tower, Tokyo Skytree Tower, and several of Tokyo's inner harbor Wards. The south side faces Haneda Airport, Odaiba, and the rest of Tokyo Bay.
The Rainbow Bridge carries three transportation lines on two decks. The upper deck carries the Shuto Expressway's Daiba Route, while the lower deck carries the Yurikamome rapid transit system in the center, walkways on the outer side, and Tokyo Prefectural Route 482 in between.
It is free to walk across the bridge. The walkways may only be used during certain hours (9 am to 9 pm in the summer; 10 am to 6 pm in the winter, access to the walkways close 30 minutes before closing time.) Bicycles are permitted on the condition that they are pushed (as opposed to riding them).
After crossing the bridge, we check out Daiba Park, an island that was built in 1854 as one of several batteries built for coastal defenses after the arrival of U.S. Navy Commodore Matthew C. Perry in 1853. Remnants of stone cannon pedestals, ammunition storehouses, and barracks can still be seen at the park.
We then stroll along Daiba Beach, an actual sand beach in Tokyo city, before we hop on the Yurikamome Line back towards Shimbashi Station.

Just watched this one. I'm not a traveler but this gave me a clear specific goal. To visit tokyo and walk this bridge. 😊

Thank you for another beautiful Japan walk! It really makes my day watching your videos and getting to experience things I may never get to see. What makes it even better is also being able to listen to your knowledge on your surroundings. Thank you Cory 😊

This is an activity I would do if visiting Tokyo. I walked a few of the bridges in NYC (Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Williamsburg). Glad ground is concrete and not grated/slatted.

Thanks for taking us along as you walk Japan. Eager to visit again, but until then ... you bring back memories and show me new things. Am not a fan of the streaming, but will walk with you anytime.

Great video Cory, Noise was not an issue, so well done. Bridge enthusiast in Vancouver. We have Lions Gate ( The bridge is 1823 meters long and has a main span of 473 meters), Ironworkers Memorial Bridge(The bridge is 1,292 metres (4,239 ft) long with a centre span of 335 metres), Burrard Bridge, Granville Bridge, and Cambie Bridge, which are all urban Vancouver bridges. I have walked them all, and love it. Seeing what man can accomplish, is very humbling and optimistic. Keep up the great work, nice to see different things, hope to visit soon!!!!!

Hi Cory, great journey, one of your best walks so far, love to know more about the technology of that train, all automatic, no driver, incredible that it stops at the station at the exact spot. The Japanese are amazing people, thank you🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵

@CoryMay81 Жыл бұрын

Thanks, Terry! Yeah, from what I read it was the first automatic computer-controlled train in Tokyo that runs on a track but uses rubber tires. That's why it runs so smoothly and quietly. There are probably thousands of sensors on the tracks and train cars to tell it exactly when to slow down and when to stop. Cheers for watching!

Aloha Cory, I watched this when you posted. I visited Japan mid September, this was one of my list to do. I'm in a wheelchair and it is wheelchair friendly. I had to enter where the guard was. I had to take 1st elevator to 2nd floor and take another elevator to the 7th floor. And from there I was able to do this video like you suggested. I like traveling Japan, because it's an adventure to find all the access I need. Not all places are accessible, but most of your videos are good, so I get ideas where I can go. It' nice if you can mention about accessibility if you get chance to share. Thanks again.

@thetalkingshrimp5683 Жыл бұрын

Cory, were you using a stabilizer or gimbal in this video? I asked because what you were holding looked really small, not because the image wasn't steady. Thanks man. I loved that deserted beach, I'd bring a cooler and just hang for hours.

@rhoderick2999 10 ай бұрын

I'm from the Philippines. ..Honestly. Japan is advance industrializad country. Japan superseded worldwide, when it comes to transportation. It's so efficient, comfortable train system or bus system. When it comes to decipline, Japan comes First When it comes cleanliness, Japan, comes First.. Japan truly comes First, Far behind the USA,....

Hi Cory , one more interesting fact , did you know in Vancouver all our train lines are fully automated , no drivers or conductors . Of course , we do not have the amazing network you have in Tokyo mega city , only 2 million + not 40 million .

That's very cool! I've only ever changed planes at the airport there and I remember catching a glimpse of the beautiful mountains backdropped behind the city skyline. I'd love to explore there one day. Please take care!

@@rasalghul8195 I am Japanese, 79 years old now. I lived in the west End of Vancouver for one year 54 years ago. I did not know that there are fully automated train lines. When I was in Vancouver, I thought that generally most people go to work or go to shopping by car and no need for railway network at that ime. It must have changed a lot since I left Vancouver.

@carlitoshoued7400 Жыл бұрын

Now I want to know more. Did Commodore Perry's black ships come through there and did the Japanese fight back with cannon fire from the batteries?

@CoryMay81 Жыл бұрын

If I recall, his ships actually arrived in Yokohama. And there was no battle at all. Their arrival ended Japan's 200+ years of isolation, ushering in the end of the Edo era and eventually the beginning of the Meiji era where Japan started to modernize and adapt western fashion, technology, education, etc.
