Kyu-Shiba-rikyu Discovery

“Kyu-Shiba-rikyu Discovery” is an app that allows you to experience the Kyu-Shiba-rikyu Gardens as they used to be in AR. *The now-defunct “Western-style building”, a state guest house from 1891 to 1923, will appear in a life-sized AR in a modern landscape lined with skyscrapers. *Using high-definition CG, you can experience the “view of the sea” that would have been visible from the top of “Ōyama”, the highest artificial mountain in the park, during the Edo period, when the park was surrounded by the sea. *You can use AR to see an image of the “tidal ebb and flow” of “Daisensui,” which was once a “tidal pond” that connected to the sea and drew in seawater. *Group photos of Meiji period greats such as Okuma Shigenobu and Itagaki Taisuke, as well as foreign guests such as foreign ministers, taken at Shiba-Rikyu during the Meiji and Taisho periods will appear in AR. *You can read explanations at the attractions in the park. There is also a voice reading function.

Please use this app to “Discover” the new Kyu-Shiba-rikyu Gardens. (Available in English and Japanese)
