<Japan>
For those who visit Odaiba, getting off a train (monorail actually) and seeing a replica of America’s famous statue right in front of you might be slightly weird.
But this replica has little to do with the original Statue of Liberty that is in New York. It is a replica of one that was in Odaiba in the late nineties made to celebrate Japan’s ties with France but it was only there for one year, from 1998 to 1999. It was so popular however, that a replica of that statue was created and has been there ever since. Getting it back was a pretty astute move really, as it is very popular. And it is a great place for some fantastic photos if the weather is good.
