The HD picture stays crisp on my TV, and the stream has been stable with no buffering or noticeable audio delay during longer viewing sessions.

The bridge is a better traffic bulletin than some evening broadcasts. When the lanes slow and rain moves across Tokyo Bay, you can see the commute story before the anchors finish reading it.

I keep this webcam bookmarked for late-night Tokyo planning, since the bridge lighting gives a surprisingly good sense of the city's mood before a trip. It is mostly reliable, though on rainy evenings the skyline fades and there is not much to watch beyond the steady expressway traffic.

Tuning in from Canada, and the Tokyo Bay view is a nice change of scenery. I like checking the bridge lights and traffic for a few minutes in the evening.
