“Olympic Symbol” floating on the surface of Tokyo Bay and Rainbow Bridge catches your eyes

“Olympic Symbol” floating on the sea along Odaiba Marine Park. You can clearly see it from far away because it’s 33 meters wide and 15 meters high. When it gets night, it’s lit up against the background of Rainbow Bridge, Tokyo Tower and skyscrapers standing on the opposite shore. You’re sure to have butterflies in your stomach by seeing a fantastic view spreading out before your eyes. Moreover, Olympic five rings’ colors are reflected onto the surface of the sea below the Olympic Symbol and allow you to feel like it’s three times as large as the real thing. By the way, we took photos at the observation deck located near the ticket gate of Daiba Station.
