From Japan to SL

Tokyo SSOC: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/SSOC/90/183/29
I looked around the realistic Tokyo SIMs that I found last time. This intersection could be found at any place in Tokyo! I walked down into a subway station, which has a name of this SIM, SSOC.




In the station, there were underground passages, ticket booth, entrance gate, and kiosk, made realistically. Above the ticket window, there is a real, notorious route chart of Tokyo transportation network. The dimention is out of scale, so it is hard to find a desirable line or transfer station to be used, even for Tokyo residents.




Some station has a train staying, but it is not moving and the tunnel ends at the end of platform. In some European SIM, there was a tunnel connected to the next station, where some people were surprised to see me walking out of the tunnel.




Surprisingly there was “Test Shooting Center” in the station, with a machie gun. This never can be in Tokyo.




Most of building interiors were not made in detail, but some has a cool spot where I would love to take a lunch,




There are many vacant rooms in buildings and few shops. The best way to enjoy this SIM could be walk around the beautiful streetscape of Tokyo made over three SIMs, with something like Segway.




As shown in the aboce picture, Segway can use elevated walkways as is, and can go into the end of small alley.




This Segway is more than 15 years old but so cool to be able to fly with the wheels folded. It can speed up or fly over buildings. But be careful that flying is prohibited at some spot. There was nobody on the day though^-^
