The remains of a battery (fort) built in Tokyo Bay. Also called "Odaiba." In 1853 (Kaei 6), Egawa Hidetatsu (Tarozaemon), the magistrate of Nirayama, Izu, had these batteries built in preparation for the invasion of Edo by the American fleet. It took one year and three months to build the first to seventh batteries (the fourth and seventh batteries were unfinished). Each battery had an area of ​​about 33,000 square meters and was surrounded by stone walls, with the entrance facing Edo. Currently, the remains of the third and sixth batteries remain, and were designated as the Shinagawa Battery Historic Site in 1926 (Taisho 15). The remains of the third battery were opened as a metropolitan water park in 1928 (Showa 3), and the remains of a jinya (camp) and gunpowder storehouse can be found within the park. With the completion of Ariake Wharf in 1968, the Third Battery was connected to the mainland by a levee. It also became part of reclaimed land No. 13 (Koto Ward), and is now the Third Battery Park within Odaiba Seaside Park. After the completion of the Rainbow Bridge on the Metropolitan Expressway in 1993 and the opening of the Yurikamome Waterfront New Transit Line in 1995, the area rapidly developed as part of the Tokyo Waterfront New City Center, with high-rise apartment buildings, elementary and junior high schools, television stations, hotels, shopping malls and more being built. To the south of the area is the Museum of Maritime Science, which opened in 1974. The Sixth Battery is a small island within Tokyo Port, but is not open to the public.

東京湾内に築造された砲台(砦(とりで))跡。「おだいば」ともいう。1853年(嘉永6)、アメリカ艦隊の来航による江戸侵攻に備え、伊豆韮山(にらやま)の代官江川英龍(ひでたつ)(太郎左衛門)が築かせた海上の砲台で、1年3か月かかって第一~第七の砲台を築いた(第四、第七台場は未完成)。一つの面積は約3.3万平方メートル、周囲を石垣で巡らした方形で、出入口は江戸の方向にあった。現在は第三と第六の台場跡が残されており、1926年(大正15)史跡品川台場に指定された。第三台場跡は都立水上公園として1928年(昭和3)開設、園内に陣屋、火薬庫跡がある。1968年(昭和43)有明埠頭(ありあけふとう)完成により、第三台場は堤防で陸続きとなった。さらに、13号埋立地(江東(こうとう)区)の一部になり、お台場海浜公園内の第三台場公園となっている。1993年(平成5)首都高速道路のレインボーブリッジが完成、1995年東京臨海新交通「ゆりかもめ」開通後、東京臨海副都心の一部として急速に発展、高層住宅、小・中学校、テレビ局、ホテル、ショッピング・モールなどができた。その南方に、1974年開館した船の科学館がある。第六台場は小島として東京港内にあるが未公開である。
