Freiheitsstatue Odaiba
Eine Nachbildung der New Yorker Freiheitsstatue im Maßstab 1:7, die still an der Uferpromenade von Odaiba an der Bucht von Tokio steht. Sie wurde 1998 zum 'Jahr Frankreichs in Japan' errichtet und von Frankreich als Zeichen der Freundschaft zwischen beiden Nationen übergeben. Mit ihrer grünspanfarbenen Silhouette vor der Rainbow Bridge und der Bucht von Tokio ist sie Odaibas bekanntestes Wahrzeichen — und ein kostenloses, immer zugängliches Bauwerk.

Die Freiheitsstatue Odaiba entdecken
Die Freiheitsstatue Odaiba steht an der Uferpromenade von Odaiba an der Bucht von Tokio als Nachbildung im Maßstab 1:7 des Originals in New York. Sie wurde 1998 zum 'Jahr Frankreichs in Japan' als temporäre Ausstellung anlässlich des 150. Jahrestags der französisch-japanischen Beziehungen aufgestellt und war so beliebt, dass sie im Jahr 2000 dauerhaft blieb. Mit rund 12 Metern Höhe und demselben Grünspan-Finish wie das New Yorker Original blickt sie auf die Bucht von Tokio und die Rainbow Bridge — eines der Wahrzeichen Odaibas und für viele Besucher der erste Anblick vom Wasserbus oder der Yurikamome aus.

🧭 Practical tide tips
-
Best viewing time
Around one to two hours either side of high tide the water is at its highest, giving the statue its most dramatic setting against Tokyo Bay. At low tide the rocks around the base emerge and add depth to the scene.
-
Photography and light
In calm weather near high tide the surface is smoothest and reflections are complete. Just after sunset, a mid-to-high water level makes it easiest to capture clean water together with the city lights.
-
Safety notes
Rocks and breakwaters exposed at low tide are slippery and are quickly covered again as the water rises. Stay on the promenade, do not go below the waterline, and do not climb the sea wall.
Tides are astronomical predictions; air pressure, wind and local terrain can shift actual conditions. Please leave some margin in your plans.

Geschichte und Bedeutung der Freiheitsstatue Odaiba
1
Origins: the Year of France, 1998
The Statue of Liberty Odaiba was erected in 1998 (Heisei 10) during the 'Année de la France au Japon' (Year of France in Japan) as a temporary exhibit marking the 150th anniversary of Franco-Japanese relations. So beloved by the public and visitors, it was made a permanent fixture in 2000, becoming an inseparable part of the Odaiba waterfront.
2
Why Japan? A symbol of Franco-Japanese friendship
New York's Statue of Liberty was itself a gift from France to the United States, symbolising liberty and the bond between the two nations. Odaiba's replica continues that thread — it, too, is a cross-border emblem of friendship, carrying the long artistic, cultural and diplomatic ties between Japan and France, and lending the shores of Tokyo Bay a touch of French romance.
3
The bloodline of the New York original
The prototype of Odaiba's statue is the Liberty Enlightening the World erected in New York Harbor in 1886, sculpted by the French artist Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi. Its internal steel framework was designed by Gustave Eiffel — of Eiffel Tower fame — a masterpiece joining engineering and art.
4
Form & Symbolism
Every detail carries meaning: the crown's seven spikes stand for the seven continents and seven seas; the raised torch represents liberty lighting the world; the tablet bears the date of American independence, 'JULY IV MDCCLXXVI' (July 4, 1776); and the broken chains at the feet symbolise freedom from oppression.
5
A 1/7-scale replica
The Odaiba version stands about 12 metres tall — roughly 1/7 of the New York original (about 93 m including pedestal). Though smaller, its crown, torch and tablet are proportionally faithful, and it is painted the same verdigris green as New York, so from afar it is almost indistinguishable.
6
A landmark of the Odaiba waterfront
Odaiba began as a battery island at the end of the Edo period and later became a waterfront subcentre through Tokyo Bay land reclamation. Today it gathers seaside parks, commercial facilities and the Rainbow Bridge; the Statue of Liberty stands at the end of the promenade, forming a classic tableau with the skyline and the bridge across Tokyo Bay.
7
Odaiba's green landmark
As free, open public art, the Statue of Liberty Odaiba is now the go-to spot for photos, sunsets and night views. It is both Odaiba's visual signature and a unique thread connecting the cultures and emotions of New York, Paris and Tokyo.
Did you know?
Odaiba's Statue of Liberty is a 1/7-scale replica of the New York original, even reproducing its verdigris patina — and the original's internal steel frame was designed by Gustave Eiffel, of Eiffel Tower fame.

Design & Symbolik: Freiheit, Aufklärung und französische Ästhetik
Die Freiheitsstatue Odaiba ist mehr als eine Nachbildung — sie ist ein öffentliches Symbol voller politischer Bedeutung, ingenieurtechnischem Wissen und künstlerischer Sprache.
🗽
Liberty, enlightenment and French aesthetics combined
Form & Symbolism
The crown's seven spikes stand for the seven continents and seven seas, proclaiming liberty for all the world; the raised torch is the light of liberty illuminating the world; the tablet bears the date of American independence, 'July 4, 1776'; the broken chains at the feet symbolise freedom from oppression. The verdigris green comes from oxidised copper — 'the colour of liberty' bestowed by time.
- ✦Crown's seven rays: universal liberty across every continent and ocean.
- ✦Torch & tablet: 'independence' and 'enlightenment' frozen in light and date.
- ✦Broken chains & patina: a metaphor of emancipation, and a classic hue aged over a century.
🤝
A gift of friendship across the seas
The Original & Its Lineage
The New York original was sculpted by French artist Bartholdi, with an internal steel frame by Gustave Eiffel of Eiffel Tower fame, dedicated in 1886 as France's gift to the United States. Odaiba's replica continues the bond between France–Japan and France–America.
- ✦Bartholdi: personifying 'Liberty' in the language of classical sculpture.
- ✦Eiffel: solving the structural challenge of a giant statue with a steel skeleton — an engineering marvel.
- ✦Dedicated 1886: the Statue of Liberty becomes a global emblem of liberty from New York Harbor onward.
Background & anecdotes
Sechs Geschichten, die Ihren Blick auf die Statue verändern
Die Freiheitsstatue ist mehr als eine große Figur — sie ist ein Denkmal voller Bedeutung. Wir betrachten, wie sie entstand, welche Symbolik in ihren Details steckt und wie sie in Odaiba heimisch wurde.
Why 1/7 scale? Fact
The original figure is about 46 m tall and reaches roughly 93 m including its pedestal. The Odaiba statue is about 12.25 m including the pedestal — approximately one seventh of the original. The ratio is said to have been chosen to suit transport, installation and the scale of the park.
The engineer behind the skin: Eiffel Background
The internal iron framework of the original was designed by Gustave Eiffel, later the engineer of the Eiffel Tower. That light structure — a thin copper skin carried by an internal skeleton — is what makes it possible to raise a statue this large in a windy harbour. The Odaiba replica follows the same principle.
What the chain at her feet means Symbolism
A broken chain lies at the statue's feet. It is understood to represent liberation from slavery, and it is the most direct message built into the name 'Liberty'. It is also one of the details most visitors miss when looking up from the front.
The date inscribed on the tablet Anecdote
The tablet held in her left arm is inscribed 'JULY IV MDCCLXXVI' — Roman numerals for 4 July 1776, the date of the American Declaration of Independence. The reading of 'JULY IV' as 'the fourth of July' is one of the most repeated pieces of trivia about the statue.
The seven rays of the crown Symbolism
The seven spikes radiating from the crown are said to represent the seven seas and seven continents, or the spread of liberty's light across the world. The statue standing in Japan carries the very same crown.
Meant to be temporary — but it stayed Story
The Odaiba statue was originally an exhibit for a single event, the 'Year of France'. When its removal was announced, so many people wanted it kept that it remained on the Tokyo waterfront — a story that says a lot about how the city took it to heart.
Foto- und Aussichtsratgeber: die besten Aufnahmen der Freiheitsstatue Odaiba
Als sehr fotogenes Wahrzeichen gewinnen Ihre Bilder deutlich an Nutzen und Schönheit, wenn Sie einige Standpunkte und Zeitfenster gezielt einplanen.
📸
The Classic Front Shot
All day Most versatile📍 Odaiba Kaihin Park waterfront
A level, head-on view from the promenade is the safest angle to recreate the 'New York' composition. With Tokyo Bay and sky as background, you get a clean, symmetrical full-body portrait.
- •Centre the statue and use the open water as negative space to highlight the verdigris subject.
- •Crouch low and shoot upward to lengthen the figure and emphasise the crown and torch.
🌉
Framed with the Rainbow Bridge
Dusk Best colours📍 Waterfront platform to the statue's right
Move to the right of the statue to bring the Rainbow Bridge into frame. The red-and-white suspension bridge against the green statue creates a striking colour contrast — Odaiba's most recognisable postcard view.
- •Use the Rainbow Bridge as a diagonal lead-in line to add depth and tension.
- •A telephoto lens compresses the scene so the statue and bridge feel 'closer'.
🌇
Dusk & Night Views
Night Most atmospheric📍 West-facing promenade toward Tokyo Bay
Around sunset the backlight gilds the statue; after dark the Rainbow Bridge lights up and the statue glows in the blue hour against the city — the most atmospheric moment.
- •Shoot in the blue hour (20–30 min after sunset) when sky and lights are balanced.
- •A tripod with long exposure captures light trails of traffic on the bridge.
⛴️
Tokyo Bay Reflection
Morning Best reflection📍 Water bus / opposite-shore view
Approaching Odaiba by water bus from Asakusa or Hinode, you see the statue at eye level from the bay; on calm days the statue and Rainbow Bridge reflect on Tokyo Bay — a unique sea-level perspective.
- •Ride the upper deck and shoot past the railings to avoid crowds.
- •Mornings bring calmer water and more complete reflections.
Anfahrt & Orientierung · So erreichen Sie die Freiheitsstatue Odaiba
Ob per Flugzeug, Bahn, Nahverkehr, Auto, Taxi, Fahrrad oder Wasserbus — jede Option wird unten erläutert, inklusive Parken und häufiger Fragen.
Wenn Sie in Tokio angekommen sind
Tokyo is reached via Narita or Haneda airports, the Tokaido Shinkansen or highway buses. Once in the city, Odaiba lies on reclaimed land in Tokyo Bay, Minato Ward. The most convenient rail lines are the Yurikamome (from Shimbashi) and the Rinkai Line (Tokyo Teleport Station); from either, a short walk brings you to the statue.
The statue is free and open 24 hours, at the end of the Odaiba Kaihin Park seaside promenade, framed with the Rainbow Bridge and the Tokyo Bay skyline. Plan your transport, parking and walking route together to avoid on-site confusion and congestion.
Das sollten Sie vor dem Aufbruch wissen
- •Die Statue steht auf der ebenen Uferpromenade des Odaiba Kaihin Park, 5–10 Gehminuten vom Bahnhof Daiba oder Tokyo Teleport entfernt.
- •Es gibt keine eigenen Parkplätze an der Statue; nutzen Sie die kostenpflichtigen Parkhäuser nahe gelegener Einkaufszentren wie Aqua City, DECKS oder DiverCity.
- •An Wochenenden und Feiertagen wird es voll, besonders in der Abenddämmerung und bei Nachtbeleuchtung — weichen Sie auf Randzeiten aus.
✈️
By Air (Haneda / Narita)
From the two airports
Best for overseas and long-distance domestic travellers; Haneda is closer, Narita has more flights.
- -Haneda: Tokyo Monorail to Hamamatsucho, transfer to the Yurikamome to Daiba Station — about 40 minutes, roughly ¥700.
- -Narita: Narita Express (N'EX) to Tokyo Station then transfer to the Yurikamome; or Keisei Skyliner to central Tokyo then transfer — about 1.5 hours, roughly ¥2,500–3,000.
- -Both airports have taxis and limousine buses, but crossing the bay to Odaiba is costly and prone to Rainbow Bridge congestion — not recommended unless necessary.
- 1After leaving the airport, follow signs to central-Tokyo rail lines.
- 2Haneda→Monorail→Hamamatsucho→Yurikamome; Narita→N'EX/Keisei→central Tokyo→Yurikamome.
- 3Alight at Daiba Station (Exit A) or Odaiba-Kaihinkoen, then walk 5–10 minutes.
🚆

🅿️
By Car (Parking)
Via the Rainbow Bridge · Nearby Parking
Good with luggage, children/seniors, or for a bay-circling drive. No statue-only lot — use nearby commercial facilities.

🚕
Taxi / Rideshare
Door-to-door
Easiest with luggage, children/seniors, or late-night arrival.

- -Ask the driver to drop you at the transfer drop-off point by Daiba Station (Yurikamome) — about a 5-minute walk, avoiding parking hassle.
- -In rain/snow or weekend evenings, wait times are longer; leave a buffer and book via a local taxi app.
🚲
Cycling / Water Bus
Waterfront rides & sea routes
The most relaxing, photo-friendly way to enjoy the city.

Praktische Planung
Besucher-Ratgeber
As an open-air statue in a public waterfront park, the Statue of Liberty Odaiba can be visited free of charge at any hour, with no ticket and no crowd control.

- ✓The statue sits inside the open Odaiba Seaside Park, within walking distance of the shopping districts (Aqua City, DECKS, DiverCity) — easy to combine in one trip.

A pleasant surprise while walking Odaiba Kaihin Park. Smaller than New York but the verdigris green with the Rainbow Bridge is very photogenic — strongly recommend coming at dusk.

Spotted it from the Yurikamome train. Free and open 24 hours, beautifully lit at night — perfect for an after-dinner walk.

Warum eine Freiheitsstatue in Odaiba? (Zur gesellschaftlichen Bedeutung öffentlicher Kunst)
Eine Statue aus New York, geboren in Paris, verwurzelt an der Bucht von Tokio — dahinter stehen mehrere Erzählungen von Stadt, Kultur und Diplomatie.
Making Franco-Japanese friendship tangible
In 1998, the 'Year of France in Japan' marked 150 years of Franco-Japanese relations, and the Statue of Liberty arrived as a symbol of friendship. It turns abstract diplomatic goodwill into a touchable, photo-friendly public landscape, continuing the tradition of 'France giving statues'.
Public art & urban renewal
Odaiba — once industrial reclaimed land — was transformed into a citizens' and visitors' waterfront leisure zone through seaside parks, commercial facilities and iconic public art. The Statue of Liberty is a microcosm of this 'culture activates urban space' strategy.
Connecting cross-cultural symbols
The same statue links New York (liberty), Paris (creation and gift) and Tokyo (friendship and localisation). It reminds us that great civic symbols often belong to all humanity, not just one city.

Anfahrt & Einrichtungen
Gibt es Parkplätze in der Nähe? Was kosten sie?
Die Statue selbst hat keine eigenen Parkplätze, aber die nahen Einkaufszentren — Aqua City, DECKS Tokyo Beach, DiverCity Tokyo Plaza — bieten kostenpflichtige Parkhäuser in wenigen Gehminuten. Die Tarife sind üblicherweise stundenbasiert; an Wochenenden, Feiertagen und für Nachtansichten füllen sie sich schnell, daher früh kommen oder den Nahverkehr bevorzugen.
Kommen Rollstühle oder Kinderwagen nah heran?
Ja. Die Statue steht im Odaiba Kaihin Park auf einer offenen Uferpromenade, die vollständig eben und stufenlos ist, sodass Rollstühle, Kinderwagen und Gehhilfen leicht vorankommen; barrierefreie Rampen und Toiletten befinden sich entlang des Weges.
Gibt es Toiletten oder Essen in der Nähe?
An der Statue gibt es keine eigenen Toiletten, aber Aqua City, DECKS und DiverCity sind wenige Gehminuten entfernt, mit öffentlichen Toiletten, Cafés, Restaurants und Convenience-Stores — Verpflegung und Einrichtungen sind also sehr bequem erreichbar.
Geschichte & Natur
Wozu dient diese Statue, und warum steht sie in Tokio?
Sie ist eine Nachbildung im Maßstab 1:7 der New Yorker Freiheitsstatue, errichtet 1998 zum 'Jahr Frankreichs in Japan' anlässlich des 150. Jahrestags der französisch-japanischen Beziehungen und als Symbol der Freundschaft zwischen Frankreich und Japan. Ursprünglich eine temporäre Ausstellung, wurde sie im Jahr 2000 dauerhaft.
Wie hängt sie mit der Statue in New York zusammen?
Die Odaiba-Version gibt die Proportionen und Form des New Yorker Originals detailgetreu wieder und bildet sogar dessen Grünspan-Patina nach. Das New Yorker Original wurde von Bartholdi mit einem inneren Stahlgerüst von Gustave Eiffel geschaffen und 1886 als französisches Geschenk an die USA eingeweiht — die Nachbildung in Odaiba führt diese grenzüberschreitende Verbindung fort.
Planung & Tickets
Gibt es einen Eintrittspreis?
Nein. Die Freiheitsstatue Odaiba ist ein Denkmal im Freien in einem öffentlichen Uferpark — kostenlos und rund um die Uhr zugänglich, ohne Ticketschalter oder Tor (die Einrichtungen der nahen Einkaufszentren sind separat).
Wie lange dauert ein Besuch?
Ein typischer Besuch dauert 30 bis 60 Minuten: ankommen, fotografieren, die Promenade entlanggehen, vielleicht auf einer Bank ausruhen. Planen Sie mehr Zeit ein, wenn Sie auch Aqua City oder DiverCity (Unicorn Gundam) erkunden.
Kann ich bei schlechtem Wetter kommen?
Ja — es ist ein öffentlicher Außenbereich, der bei jedem Wetter zugänglich ist. Allerdings ist es an der Bucht windig und im Sommer nur leicht schattig, also bringen Sie Wasser und Sonnenschutz mit; im Winter und nach Regen fühlt es sich kälter an und die Wege können rutschig sein — kleiden Sie sich wind- und wetterfest.
Was es in der Nähe zu sehen gibt
Was empfehlen Sie nach dem Besuch in der Nähe?
Die Statue liegt direkt an der Rainbow Bridge und der Uferpromenade der Bucht von Tokio, in Gehweite von Aqua City, DECKS Tokyo Beach, DiverCity Tokyo Plaza (Unicorn Gundam) und dem Fuji-TV-Gebäude. Etwas weiter liegen der Odaiba Kaihin Park, Tokyo Big Sight und die Wasserbus-Route nach Asakusa.
