Japanese Train from Tokyo to Odaiba (Jan 2017) Natural Audio
Odaiba (お台場?) is a large artificial island in Tokyo Bay, Japan, across the Rainbow Bridge from central Tokyo. It was initially built for defensive purposes in the 1850s, dramatically expanded during the late 20th century as a seaport district, and has developed since the 1990s as a major commercial, residential and leisure area. Odaiba, along with Minato Mirai 21 in Yokohama, are two of the only places in the Greater Tokyo Metropolitan area where the seashore is accessible, and not blocked by industry and harbor areas.
Daiba (台場) formally refers to one district of the island development in Minato Ward. The Odaiba name is commonly used to refer to the entire Tokyo Waterfront Secondary City Center (東京臨海副都心 Tōkyō Rinkai Fukutoshin) which includes the Ariake and Aomi districts of Kōtō Ward and the Higashi-Yashio district of Shinagawa Ward.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New Transit Yurikamome (新交通ゆりかもめ Shinkōtsū Yurikamome), formally the Tokyo Waterfront New Transit Waterfront Line (東京臨海新交通臨海線 Tōkyō Rinkai Shinkōtsū Rinkai-sen?) is an automated guideway transit service operated by the Tokyo Waterfront New Transit Corporation, connecting Shimbashi to Toyosu, via the artificial island of Odaiba in Tokyo, Japan, a market in which it competes with the Rinkai Line.
The line is named after the black-headed seagull (yurikamome in Japanese), a common denizen of Tokyo Bay and the official prefectural bird.
Technology
The Yurikamome is Tokyo's first fully automated transit system, controlled entirely by computers with no drivers on board. However, the line is not the first in Japan, as Kobe's Port Liner opened in 1981, 14 years before the Yurikamome.
The Yurikamome is sometimes mistakenly called a monorail, but the trains run with rubber-tired wheels on elevated concrete track guided by the side walls.
Shiodome
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shiodome (汐留) is an area in Minato, Tokyo, Japan, located adjacent to Shinbashi and Ginza, near Tokyo Bay and the Hamarikyu Gardens. Formerly a railway terminal, Shiodome has been transformed into one of Tokyo's most modern areas. It is a collection of 11 tiny town districts or cooperative zones, but generally there are three main areas:
The Shiodome Sio-Site (シオサイト?), a collection of skyscrapers containing mostly businesses, hotels, and restaurants. Its thirteen skyscrapers house the headquarters of All Nippon Airways, Bandai Visual, Dentsu, Fujitsu, Mitsui Chemicals, Nippon Express, Nippon Television and Softbank.
The western district, located west of the JR tracks and populated by European-style buildings.
The southern extension, east of the JR tracks from Hamamatsucho 1-chome. This area is for residential use, and there are three tall apartment buildings located there, along with a small park.
Shiodome Station is a stop on the Yurikamome and Toei Ōedo Line; the complex is also within walking distance of Shimbashi Station.

Welcome on the Yurikamome Line in Tokyo!
Let's visit the Bay of Tokyo, Odaiba and the Rainbow Bridge.
You can use the annotations @ 0:17 to jump directly to a certain part of this video.
The Yurikamome Line is an automated guideway transit service operated by the Tokyo Waterfront New Transit Corporation. It extends from Shimbashi in Tokyo's special ward Minato to Toyosu in Kōtō. Its trains run with rubber-tired wheels on elevated track guided by the side walls.
The line connects the past with the future:
Shimbashi was the terminus of the first Japanese Railway (Tokyo Shimbashi - Yokohama Sakuragicho) in 1872, while Odaiba stands for development and technical advance.
The Yurikamome is very popular as it serves the artificial island Odaiba, a major commercial, residential and leisure area, surrounded by the Bay of Tokyo. Odaiba is a must-see for tourists - it features futuristic shopping palaces, attraction parks and lovely beaches. The popular TV series Bayside Shakedown (1998) has taken place in Odaiba, when it was under development.
Odaiba is connected to central Tokyo by the Rainbow Bridge, a famous suspension bridge.The Yurikamome tracks are placed on its lower level - to reach this level there is a spectacular 270° loop at the northern end of the bridge.
Over the years the Yurikamome has become an attraction in itself!
It was Tokyo's first fully automated transit system, operated without any drivers.
As a result the front seats are extremely popular, they feature superb views of Tokyo. (I had to wait for the third train to get this unlimited view^^)
Opened in 1995 between Shimbashi and Ariake the line has been eventually extended to Toyosu in 2006.
After opening of the private TWR Rinkai Line - which is connecting Odaibo to the western parts of Tokyo - ridership on the Yurikamome Line has declined slowly.
In the future this line could be extended to Kachidoki (possible connection to the Toei Oedo line). New trains (7300 series) are scheduled to be introduced until 2016.
The line is named after the black-headed seagull ('yurikamome' in Japanese), a common denizen of Tokyo Bay and the official prefectural bird.

This video shows the route - stations - trains and the surroundings of the Yurikamome Line with many different perspectives and locations.
I'm sorry for some shaky footages. As being a tourist by myself I had only a huge tripod with me, but the trains were pretty crowded, so I couldn't use it in them.
I hope you like though ;)

TOKYO JAN 2017 Yurikamome over the Rainbow Bridge (レインボーブリッジ)
Beautiful train raide over the The Rainbow Bridge (レインボーブリッジ Reinbō burijji) in Tokyo in Winter 2017. The Rainbow Bridge is a suspension bridge crossing northern Tokyo Bay between Shibaura Pier and the Odaiba waterfront development in Minato, Tokyo, Japan.
It was built by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, with construction starting in 1987 and completed in 1993. The bridge is 798 metres (2,618 ft) long with a main span of 580 metres (1,903 ft). Officially called the Shuto Expressway No. 11 Daiba Route - Port of Tokyo Connector Bridge, the name 'Rainbow Bridge was decided by the public.
The towers supporting the bridge are white in color, designed to harmonize with the skyline of central Tokyo seen from Odaiba. There are lamps placed on the wires supporting the bridge, which are illuminated into three different colors, red, white and green every night using solar energy obtained during the day.
The bridge can be accessed by foot from Tamachi Station (JR East) or Shibaura-futō Station (Yurikamome) on the mainland side.
