The Rainbow Bridge (Japanese: レインボーブリッジ, Hepburn: Reinbō Burijji) is a suspension bridge crossing northern Tokyo Bay between Shibaura Pier and the Odaiba waterfront development in Minato, Tokyo, Japan. Its official name is the Tokyo Port Bridge (東京港連絡橋, Tōkyō Kō Renrakukyō). The English name "Rainbow Bridge" was chosen by public vote. The bridge carries road, rail and pedestrian traffic on two decks and is a prominent element of the Odaiba waterfront skyline.
