VR telescopes now available!
Tokyo Future Travel Scope

The year 2018 marked 150 years since the renaming of Edo to Tokyo, and the concurrent establishment of Tokyo prefecture. To commemorate the occasion, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) rolled out the project, “Old meets New:Tokyo 150 Years.”
As a part of the project, though it was limited to the month of July last year, telescopes that provided a virtual reality experience of scenery of Meiji-era Tokyo were placed within the TMG Building, and were very popular.
In an effort to convey Tokyo’s charms, in addition to the Meiji era sceneries, VR images projecting a feel of “Future Tokyo,” can now be experienced with Tokyo Future Travel Scopes, which have been placed within the TMG building as follows:
