Statue of Liberty

The Statue of Liberty in Odaiba, Tokyo, Japan.

The Statue of Liberty was originally erected in 1988 as a tribute to the good relations between Japan and France. However, the statue became immensely popular and became a permanent addition to the Odaiba seascape in 2000. It is only 1/7th the size of the Statue of Liberty in New York, but with the backdrop of the Rainbow Bridge it has its own charm.

Odaiba is an excellent location to spend the afternoon. It is home to the Fuji television station and various other attractions such as the Daikanransha (大観覧車, giant Ferris Wheel). When I took this photo not only was the sky magnificent and the Rainbow Bridge perfectly clear in the background but there was also a meat festival happening. I had some excellent American style BBQ along with an amazing sky to complement Lady Liberty.
