The G-Cans project is Tokyo’s way of dealing with the amount of water from the heavy rains during Typhoon and Rainy seasons. I marvel at the great photos and enormity of the project every time I see it on the web.. and keeping in mind the buildings above the massive hole in the ground.. damn impressive engineering feat.
You can also take tours during the dry seasons… definitely on the To-Do list next year…

I was completely unaware that there was any place in Tokyo with that much space. It’s a shame they can’t rent it out during the dry season, it would make for a nice, spacious summer home or, if concrete walls aren’t your thing, a storage facility.

Looks like something out of “The Lord of the Rings.”

I would love to see pictures when that thing is full of water. It must be impressive.

It would be a very impressive site full of water, I would like to see the water gushing in to fill it.. it’s hard to imagine the enormity of the reservoir.. I will definitely visit this place next summer.

The system is massive! It’s powered by 14,000 horsepower turbines which can pump 200 tons of water a second into the Edogawa river !!
