- whatevermang 1y agoThis is one of the best things anyone interested in one of the most impressive engineering marvels ever can go and visit anywhere in the world. I cannot stress enough how good it is and how involved the tour gets (wearing waders to go waist deep in water to view the jet turbines used to pump water). I strongly advise taking someone who can help translate Japanese with you as there's a huge amount of information to take in and it's a fantastic opportunity for anyone keen on photography as well.
- CoolDogs 1y agoWhoa, this place is insane! Feels like something outta a sci-fi flick.
- alserio 1y agoIt's such a cool place it has inspired a lot of media. My favorite is the storm drains level in Mirror's Edge
- abcd_f 1y agoWeren't tours restricted some time ago? You can go down, you can look at the place from one spot, bit you no longer can walk around.
