(((Digimon Is Forever)))

Tokyo has only two accessible beaches: Kasai Rinkai Park and Odaiba, pictured above. You’re not allowed to swim at either, but you wouldn’t want to, since the bay is full of rubbish. If you go to Odaiba very early on a weekday, you can escape Tokyo’s crowds. The beach is almost empty except for dog lovers (happiness), and it’s a lovely quiet walk with views of Rainbow Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, the Gundam statue and (in early summer) miles of hydrangeas along the shore. Bonus joy: traveling on the fully automated Yurikamome Line.
