Beyond Tokyo

Beyond Tokyo is a 20-minute VR adventure about Japanese culture, set around a stylized Shibuya in Tokyo. You freely explore popular and less-visited places through 360-degree videos, photos, narration and stories.

Explore Shibuya

At Shibuya Crossing, you can see the intersection from the center and from above through 360-degree and time-lapse video. Other stops include an izakaya serving yakitori, where you can see how Japanese salarymen eat, Harajuku’s changing fashion culture and a sushi restaurant where diners catch their own fish.

Shrines and city stories

An umbrella ride takes you from Shibuya Crossing to a rooftop shrine, with views of Tokyo’s skyline by day and night. At Meiji Shrine, you learn about forest bathing and power spots through 360-degree videos and photos, and can ring the giant Suzu bell for good luck. A detour through “upside down” Shibuya introduces local urban legends, while walking through the LOVE statue is said to bring good luck in love.

The experience also tells the story of Hachiko, Japan’s famously loyal dog, from the perspective of his guardian, Professor Ueno, with a view of Mount Fuji along the way. Another story explores the background of Kaze no Denwa, the “Wind Phone,” a true story about loss and love.
