Massive Sewer Japan’s next tourist destination.

Forget Kyoto, Geisha, or Mt. Fuji when planning your next visit to Japan. Instead why not spend your time in Saitam’s city’s (about 30 minutes north of Tokyo) massive storm water sewer. Designed to suck it up when typhoons hit, the 25.4 meters tall (83 feet) by 78 meters (255 feet) wide and 177 meters long (580 feet) massive cavern is open for tourists. Sure beats sitting around under some cherry blossoms and drinking sake...
