  • Zig Zag Bridge at Shukkeien Garden - Shukkeien garden was built in 1620 by Ueda Soko - a warrior who became a Buddhist monk, tea master and landscape gardener.  It was designed and built for the villa of Asano Nagaakira, daimyo of Hiroshima.  Shukkeien distorts concepts of space, cramming a miniaturized version of the landscape of West Lake Hangzhou China into a space of just 40,000 square meters.  Even its name means shrunken-scenery garden. Shukkeien contains many of the elements of classic landscape gardens introduced from China by Zen priest Muso Kokushi: evocatively shaped rocks, pavilions and a large pond with small islands. Around Takuei Pond with its hump-backed Rainbow Bridge winding paths lead visitors through miniature mountains, valleys, fields and groves.  Shukkeien’s Seifukan teahouse, with its thatched roof and lyre-shaped window, a different tea ceremony is held each month to celebrate the flowers of each successive season.

  • The Rainbow Bridge was designed to allow ships to safely pass under the bridge, but as it is close to Haneda airport it could not be built over a certain height to allow for safe airline paths. It is a two storey bridge with monorail train on one level and an expressway on another level. It is lit up at night, along with the Statue of LIberty replica and Tokyo Tower in the distance, giving it a "romantic" look.

  • The Rainbow Bridge is something of an engineering feat. It was designed to allow ships to safely pass under the bridge, but as it is close to Haneda domestic airport it could not be built over a certain height to allow for safe airline paths. It is a two storey bridge with monorail train on one level and an expressway on another level.
