- 1MachineElf 4y agoSeeing this reminded me of playing the sewer level in Stray. If you want to explore areas like this, but don't feel like traveling, then Stray is the game for you.
- afarrell 4y agoThe Tokyo Sewerage Museum was worth going out of the way to visit.

- asiachick 4y agojust to set expectations. it's small museum. just 2 rooms. it is amazing and you probably will not be comfortable eating sushi, sashimi, basashi for a fews days after :p
