Toyko Canal City - Nihonbashigawa
(Stereo VR180 Experience)
Take a ride through Tokyo's many rivers and tributaries. Tokyo was once known for its vast system of waterways but modernization has completely buried some under ground and some have been paved into into roads. They have also been used as paths for highways, blanketing the canals in shadow. Judgements aside, we can all agree this has created interesting spaces that many do not have a chance to experience, until now. In this first episode, we travel up the Nihonbashi River from near its branch off of the Sumida River towards the Kanda River. The river was almost completely covered by the Shuto Expressway in the 60’s. There are plans to liberate the skies above so even this vista won’t last forever.

トウキョウ・カナル・シティ - 日本橋川
(立体VR180体験)
かつて運河で栄えた江戸。近代化によって川は暗渠となり、埋められたり、高速道路のルートになり影に包まれる。この状況に意見は様々ですが、これによって珍しい空間が築かれた事は、見た者は否定できない。しかし今までは、この光景を体験下人は少ない。そこで東京の隠れた川の姿を新しいVRシリーズで紹介します。この第一弾で日本橋川を出口となる隅田川から上って、神田川との分岐点まで辿ります。日本橋川を解放する予定もありますので、この光景も、良くも悪くもいずれなくなります。今の内にどうぞ。
