For a taste of New York City with views of Tokyo Bay in the background, visit Odaibaââ¬â¢s replica of the famous Statue of Liberty. Though it`s positioning in front of the nearby Rainbow Bridge gives off the impression that this recreation is to scale, in reality, itââ¬â¢s about 1/7th of the size of the New York original. It was originally erected in 1998 as a temporary tribute to Japanââ¬â¢s relationship with France, but the statue was so popular she was made a permanent feature in 2000. What`s most interesting about the Odaiba Statue of Liberty is that she is not the only one in Japan, she also has sisters in Shimoda and Osaka.
