Odaiba Statue of Liberty
Standing about 12 meters tall, this replica of the Statue of Liberty has been one of Odaiba’s most recognizable landmarks since it was permanently installed in 2000. Originally brought from France for a one-year exhibition celebrating Japan-France relations in 1998, the statue’s popularity led to it becoming a permanent feature of the Odaiba Seaside Park waterfront.
Set against the backdrop of Rainbow Bridge, Tokyo Tower, and the city’s high-rises, the statue offers a perfect blend of Western symbolism and Tokyo’s urban beauty. It’s one of the most photographed spots in the area, especially at sunset when the sky glows over the bay and at night when the bridge’s colorful lights create a romantic atmosphere.
The statue stands near Aqua City Odaiba, making it easy to combine with a leisurely walk along the waterfront promenade. The surrounding park features wide, wheelchair-accessible paths, vending machines, and public rest areas. It’s also close to other major Odaiba attractions like Gundam Statue, DECKS Tokyo Beach, and Odaiba Marine Park, so it naturally fits into a day of sightseeing.
There’s no admission fee, and the area is open 24 hours, allowing visitors to enjoy it freely at any time of day. Whether you visit for the calm bay views, nighttime photography, or simply a short stroll, Odaiba’s Statue of Liberty remains a light-hearted reminder of the city’s openness to global culture and its love for scenic waterfront experiences.
Before you go
There is no admission fee; entry is free. The site is open 24 hours and is located within the public area of Odaiba Seaside Park (within the waterfront promenade). Wear comfortable shoes since you’ll walk along paths and a boardwalk. There are public toilets and vending machines nearby (the park/area facilities) and the location offers wheelchair-accessible paths. Bringing a tripod is generally fine since it is an outdoor public space, but be considerate of others on narrow walkways. There’s no special gate or timed “entry” to the statue area.
The statue and its surrounding park area are open every day, year-round, 24 hours (no closing days). There are no special holiday closures noted for the public walkway area of the statue.
When to go
Spring and autumn provide ideal conditions for viewing the replica statue with comfortable temperatures and clear skies that enhance photography of the Rainbow Bridge backdrop. Evening visits from late afternoon through sunset offer spectacular views as the statue, Rainbow Bridge, and Tokyo skyline illuminate simultaneously, creating memorable photo opportunities year-round. Weekday mornings between 8AM and 11AM offer the most peaceful viewing experience with minimal crowds, allowing unobstructed photos and leisurely waterfront walks. Late evening visits after 10PM provide solitude and dramatic nighttime views, though lighting conditions vary throughout the year for photography.
