① Start Area

Odaiba Seaside Park, with its expanse of beautiful waterfront scenery, is the starting point for RAINBOW BRIDGE RIDE 2025. What kind of scenery awaits you? This fun ride starts with that feeling of excitement.

② Rainbow Bridge (Distant view)

The Rainbow Bridge, which was completed in 1993 as a symbol of Tokyo Bay, is one of the highlights of the RAINBOW BRIDGE RIDE 2025. Enjoy a pleasant ride over waters as you take in the spectacular views of Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree.

③ Rainbow Bridge(Close up view)

The best part of the RAINBOW BRIDGE RIDE 2025 is being able to ride a bicycle on the Rainbow Bridge. Take a refreshing ride across the bridge while looking up at its main tower, which is 126 meters high. No words can fully describe the feeling you will experience.

④ Tokyo Harbor UMI-no-MORI Tunnel

This tunnel connects the Ariake area with UMI-no-MORI and boasts a length of about 2,500 meters. The extraordinary experience of riding a bicycle -20 meters under the sea is something that can only be experienced on the RAINBOW BRIDGE RIDE 2025. It’s a moment that will make you feel happy you participated.

⑤ UMI-no-MORI Park

In March of this year, the island, which was once a site of resource-recycling forestation made a grand open as “Sea Forest Park,” where you can enjoy a vast view of nature. Ride through the park that you can’t normally ride on a bicycle.

⑥ Sea Forest Waterway

Covered with lush greenery, the Sea Forest Waterway is also known as the boating and canoeing venue for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. Take a rest at the aid station while enjoying the kind of magnificent view that only Tokyo Bay can offer.

⑦ Tokyo Gate Bridge

This bridge is also called the Dinosaur Bridge because it looks like two dinosaurs are facing each other. Tokyo Gate Bridge offers a wonderful view of Tokyo Skytree and Tokyo Disneyland etc. If you are lucky you may be able to see a plane fly right above you as it is close to Haneda Airport.

⑧ Wakasu Seaside Park

About halfway through the long course is the Wakasu Seaside Park area, which is rich in nature. The refreshing sea breeze will gently heal your tired body. Now, this is the start of the second half of the ride.
Let’s continue enjoying the ride!

⑨ Finish Area

Go through the gate near Central Square to finally reach the finish line! Riders will be greeted with much cheers and applause. This is also the venue for the MULTISPORTS held on the same day. Receive and enjoy your commemorative item here.
