<Impressions from the experience>

I was amazed at how cutting-edge technology such as VR allowed my movements to be reflected on the screen and in the game, and how the images were so clear and immersive.
There are a variety of interactive activities that can be enjoyed by both children and adults, from physical attractions to drone operation, car driving, and VR-equipped vehicles. Each space also has resting spots and smartphone charging points, so it feels like a facility that can be enjoyed for long periods of time with breaks in between.

When I heard it was located inside Tokyo Tower, I was curious about how big it was, but when I went inside I was surprised at how large the facility was. I was disappointed that the squid game ended so quickly. The roller coaster ride with VR was very exciting. There were some scenes that you would never be able to experience in real life, which was fun.

RED°TOKYO TOWER was truly a place where you could experience a completely new form of entertainment from another dimension.
The bouldering, trampoline, and jump rope games, all using the latest XR technology, were so satisfying and stimulating that even a single game left me breathless. Among them, Hado Shoot!, an AR sport in which you actually move your body to shoot waves from your hands and create barriers to fight your opponent, was the magical attraction everyone dreams of as a child. It was a truly valuable and enjoyable experience, allowing me to feel the technological advances of humanity firsthand through fun play.

At RED°TOKYO TOWER, we enjoyed a new and immersive experience that combined cutting-edge XR technology with real-world objects like trampolines and climbing walls. The e-motor in particular faithfully reproduced even the reaction of the steering wheel when turning, making it difficult to operate. In addition, the boat race gave us the feeling of a headwind and splashing water, giving us a sense of realism just like being in an actual race. We moved our bodies while experiencing the wonder of the technology, and smiles naturally filled our faces.

We were able to experience "future games" that combine AR/VR with reality. In particular, the game "HADOU," which is like a VR x dodgeball game, is highly competitive, and it was a lot of fun playing against friends!
There is also a video stage with LED monitors on the walls and floor, so you can take some great photos. It's also a great place to go with your family or partner!
Ryusei Nishiyama, 4th year student at Musashino University

It was a lot of fun to actually experience it, and I thought that if I had come here as a child, it would have felt like a dream come true.
It was a cutting-edge facility with a wide variety of amusements, allowing me to experience something out of the ordinary.
It is a facility that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, from children to adults, all day long, so if you visit Tokyo Tower, I highly recommend you stop by and experience it.
