Odaiba is a bulk island, one of the districts of Tokyo.It's good here. Both in the afternoon and in the evening.
Now Odaiba is a "city of the future", an island of commerce and entertainment with numerous interesting objects: luxury hotels, large-scale exhibition complexes, museums, sports facilities,
offices of TV companies, parks, Tokyo's only beach, numerous shopping malls with shops and restaurants with views at sea and port.
The name of the island of Odaiba is directly related to its history, as originally there were built six small fortresses built in the beginning of the XIX century to protect the capital from an attack from the sea. The word "Daiba" in Japanese, in fact, means artillery batteries. Initially, it was planned to build 11 batteries, but only half was brought to the end.
In 1990, an ambitious plan for the development of the district was adopted - it was supposed to erect Tokyo Teleport Town, a kind of manifesto of Japanese futurism. The population of Odaiba was supposed to be more than 100 000 people. However, in 1995 the work was suspended - the "bubble economy" was blown away, and the funds were sorely lacking. It became clear that despite the spent trillion yen, it would not be possible to finish building the future for the 1996 international exhibition. A lot of companies-developers went bankrupt, and the development of Odaiba froze. For the business center of the island are located not too well - to get there you can only on the Rainbow Bridge, and few practical Japanese wanted to spend so much time on the road.
However, in the 2000s, activity resumed - picturesque islands overlooking the ocean began to attract tourists and local residents. Several large shopping centers, amusement parks grew on Odaiba, the Maritime Museum and Mirai-kan - the "Building of the Future" opened.
