Yumenoshima (夢の島, lit. Dream Island or Island of Dreams) is a district in Kōtō, Tokyo, Japan, consisting of an artificial island built using waste landfill in Tokyo Bay. It is not the first such island in the bay (see Umi-no-mori ja:海の森公園). At current fill rates, there will be no more room for waste landfill in the bay without affecting shipping lanes by around 2050; likewise, Osaka Bay and Ise Bay are slowly being consumed by waste landfill islands, e.g. Rinku Town.
