Statue of Liberty, Odaibo, Tokyo

Odaibo, Tokyo, with the Rainbow Bridge in the background.  Like the one in NYC, this Liberty statue was a gift from the French government in 2000, after its original (a smaller version of the one gifted to NY) was displayed in 1998 — 1999 (“French Year in Japan”).  It was so popular that a replica was erected after the original returned to Paris.  photo source: file from flickr.com
