These are photos I took on a yakatabune, the highlight of this Tokyo trip. In Odaiba you can see boats hung with lanterns floating on Tokyo Bay, and that is exactly what this is.

An expressway runs along the shoreline.
Fuji TV headquarters in Odaiba
Going up to the round observation deck is not worth much. And it costs 500 yen, sadly.
As it gets dark, the lights come on one by one.
It looks completely different from the daytime view. Tokyo Bay is much better at night.
DECKS in Odaiba
DECKS has lots of restaurants with great views, perfect for couples.
This is the kind of boat I was on.
Rainbow Bridge
You can go up onto the roof of the boat. That was when the view was best, and it was great for taking photos.
Some boats are decked out in really flashy lights.
A bit tacky, but they look impressive.
Inside the boat, a banquet…
There are so many boats out there you can’t even count them.
The night deepens in Odaiba.
