Rainbow Bridge from Toyosu
About the Toyosu Camera
This camera sits in Toyosu, on the Tokyo Bay waterfront, and looks across the water to the Rainbow Bridge. The channel streams it with a jazz and bossa nova soundtrack, which makes it more of a slow evening view than a traffic camera.
The Rainbow Bridge opened in 1993 and carries the Shuto Expressway, the Yurikamome line and a pedestrian walkway out to Odaiba. Its towers and cables are lit every night, and the reflections on the water are the reason to watch after dark.
Mt Fuji is roughly 100 km away, so it only appears when the air is dry and clear, most often on winter mornings and just after sunset, when the mountain shows as a silhouette. On hazy summer days it disappears entirely.
