My final post of the year will be on Odaiba, Tokyo. Odaiba is a man-made or artificial island across the Tokyo Bay..it is connected with the Rainbow Bridge in which you could pay for a monorail to get over (360 yen = rm12) per ride or you can drive a car to get there. Odaiba was formerly built for defense purposes in the year 1850s but now it has been turned into a leisure, commercial (notably the Odaiba Aquacity) and residential area. Thanks to my Japanese friend, I was able to stay in his dormitory throughout my stay in Tokyo in the year 2007 and 2009 and thus I'm able to visit this place again. I did not get to visit Odaiba in the year 2008 though. To get to Odaiba, you will need to take a train to Shimbashi station via the famous Yamanote Line and then change to Yurakucho line..sounds easy rite :D...well not to waste anymore time..let's take a look at the beautiful view of Odaiba and Tokyo skyline!
