  • Tokyo is loaded with museums, hundreds of them from art to science. If normal museums are a bore to you or you want to try something new, let me tell you about this place! The TOKYO MUSEUM OF SEWAGE!
    Here, you'll spend the day learning about Tokyo's sewer system, how it works and even get a chance to go inside the main sewer pipe suspending on a platform over the free flowing raw crap.
    Perfect for families -- or maybe for the second or third date with someone special :) either way, Kodaira city is a really relaxing place to hang out, a few really cool cafes and restaurants near the station.
    Best of all, this experience is free!
    What are you waiting for?

    goo.gl/maps/p9...
    URL:
    Kodaira Sewage Museum www.city.kodair...
    Joseph Tame:

    How to get there:
    Take the JR CHUO LINE from Shinjuku to KOKUBUNJI STATION (14 minutes).
    Change to the Seibu Kokubunji Line for 2 stops to TAKANODAI STATION.
    Exit TAKANODAI STATION and take a left. You will see a sign for the museum at the small bridge. Use the Google Map for reference.

    It is amazing that you were able to stay in the sewer pipe for such a long time.
    I was only there for 1 minute.
    Thanks for the great introduction video.

    The fact that Japan is a sewage museum is really really cool. It's clearly education. The toilets are fascinating as it is so this is cool to see as you said "the back end" of it all.

  • @netacid11
    @netacid11 8 лет назад

    I toured my local sewage treatment plant on Long Island, NY a few years back. It was very interesting aside from the smells of course. I learned there was a successful experiment to create a tertiary filtration that would allow the water to be sent right back into homes in sinks instead of being pumped three miles out into the Atlantic to alleviate the burden on the local aquifers. Alas, the consensus was that though it was perfectly clean and filtered water, the idea of sending cleaned urine back to the citizens directly wouldn't sit well with the populace and was scrapped.
    I've also had the experience of going all the way down to see the flow of raw sewage. My god, that smell..
    Thank you for another amazing episode! I enjoyed the dynamic between you and Joseph and I especially liked the classroom bits with the micro-kaiju!!

    • @WaoryuONLYinJAPAN
      @WaoryuONLYinJAPAN  8 лет назад

      What an experience! Yes, the smell ... but I was surprised it wasn't worse actually. Yeah, it's weird to think of sending this stuff back to the people but everything we eat and drink is really sent back in one way or another. I try not to think about it but this episode didn't help that. Haha! -John

  • @Ging_10
    @Ging_10 8 лет назад +2

    Oh my...that scene from the storm and the water reaching the door was really scary haha. I was surprised that they didnt give you any mask because of the smell so I guess it wasnt that strong after all :D

    • @WaoryuONLYinJAPAN
      @WaoryuONLYinJAPAN  8 лет назад +1

      It's really not as bad as you'd think. It's not what id want to smell for more than a few minutes but it won't kill you. Just don't fall in! -John

    • @Ging_10
      @Ging_10 8 лет назад

    @JustAnjuK 8 лет назад

    This would probably be a civil engineer's dream to see how a sewage works from the inside from a first person prospective. I think they also have something similar in America but you don't really get to tour the inside of the sewages though. But this is quite amazing to watch really. Not just for civil engineers but for anyone who wants to know how everything works.

    • @WaoryuONLYinJAPAN
      @WaoryuONLYinJAPAN  8 лет назад +1

      That is what struck me when I stumbled upon this place. I actually went to interview an artist who had an exhibition here (episode coming soon on that ;) just amazing that they allow you to go inside and have a look at how it works. -John

I could be a really happy than ever if you could make video about it! But keep going anyway and show me more what i don't know what's only in Japan! :D
