Odaiba is one of artificial islands in Tokyo Bay. These islands were initially built for defensive purposes in 1850s. The island was dramatically developed in late 20th century as a major commercial, residential and leisure area.
Near to one of the shopping molls - Diver's City - there is a big park with sakuras and tulip fields.
