The Shinto shrine on top of the massive shopping mall Aqua City is somewhat of a secret tip. It can be found on the seventh floor of the mall, right on the rooftop, and is one of Tokyo’s ten major shrines dedicated to a branch deity of the Ise Shrine, with the main one being Shiba Daijingu Shrine in Minato. From there, look down on Rainbow Bridge in front of the sprawling lights of central Tokyo and find yourself getting lost in the mesmerizing view. The shrine is also said to grant seven wishes, such as prosperity in business, good health, and so on, so why not buy a omikuji (a fortune) for 100 yen and get a glimpse of what the future holds? With its romantic atmosphere and beautiful view, Aqua City Odaiba Shrine is also one of Odaiba’s most popular date spots.

Just below the observation deck of the Symbol Promenade Park stands a replica of the Statue of Liberty, 11 meters tall and weighing about 9 tons. To commemorate the “French Year in Japan” in 1998, France’s own Lady Liberty from the Île aux Cygnes came to Japan until 1999. Once the French one had returned home, Tokyo set up a replication of it with France’s blessing because Tokyoites had grown so fond of the statue. It was unveiled in 2000 and has become one of Odaiba’s most recognizable symbols where you’ll always spot people taking commemorative pictures.
