TOKYO AKIHABARA VIDEO!

By Neonsim,

So, this time i wanted to do something different, instead of taking pics for this entry, i decided to make a video, to show my recreation of Akihabara in motion, I tried my very best to capture the essence and energy of electric town. and get the map as close to the real thing as possible in the process. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB3WHjfg2CM&feature=c4-overview&list=UUwEW_7hR6OgYH-a2q1CUc4A I hope you enjoyed that, i will update with pics soon. thank you!

Hellow all and welcome back, This is a pretty simple update, Just showing progress in my central tokyo area(the main area around the government center, etc) Start off with some nice Ariel shots. So you can get a sense of the density. and otherwise urban chaos. that is tokyo japan. And a night shot for good measure. Moving on to focus on shinjuku, for now shinjuku area around shinjuku station Not to be confused with Akihabara this area is also a huge electronics spot, 2nd behind akihabara, you wont find in...

Hellow i know it's been a very long time (2 years?) But i am back and got alot of new updates for you all, up now, my favorite spot in Tokyo, Akihabara If you love anime and electronics such as games, then akihabara is your one stop destination. Hundreds of electronics shops, ranging from tiny one man stalls specializing in a particular electronic component to large electronics retailers, line the main Chuo Dori street and the crowded side streets around Akihabara. They offer everything from the newest...

Small update of shibuya, I moved 109 where is suposed to go, two blocks from tokyu station. And moved the qfont building in it's right place, Right across the road from 109(2) Minami shinjuku, the pure definition of dence, as i was searching through street veiw, i found that there was not one single empty lot, Home to shops, low wealth and high wealth apartment buildings,...

Mapping out some roads in lower shibuya, I had to tare down the intire highway to get it to fit right, Also i know the insenorator plant is not located there..Its sorta a place holder, Wont be much longer before i connect Shibuya ward with the rest of the city. I have had to tare down and rebuild alot of the city, End of teaser

So i thought ide post up a new shibuya update, i have stopped working on the shinjuku area for a while, and now focused more on shibuya, and getting it connected to the rest of my city, So i took some pics, i hope you enjoy, the pics include faumous land mark spots, real dedicated recreations, traffic(lots of it) and transportation systems. enjoy! When talking about shibuya, you have to mention Shibuya 109,109 opened in April 1979. The architect was Minoru Takeyama. Tokyu, the building's operator, designed...

Here you will find all the hustle and bustle inside the Inner city, Practically the core, This is were all the small buisnesses and shops greet the day, sun up to sun down, From 5 story glistening apartments and commercial buildings to dirty tenents galore, This is were you get the Grit of shinjuku, Jam packed streets, Small banks, wall to wall Grit, It's easy to get lost here as well. It borders shinjuku, it is the mamoth mase of wall to wall buildings, Packed shops, jam packed roads, neon signs...

I have been going about this the wrong way for quite some time now, and i have now seen were my Tokyo is true to life, And were it leads me astray, Take for instance the following. This is the correct Path of shinjuku Route 4, Where as mine, i have it set as a complete straight path, Meaning no cerving at the Meiji Jungo shrine, And since this is a Dedicated Recreation, That just wont do. Anyway, Here is a Region Veiw. As you can see, i am not using the Tokyo map pack, i have just been terrorforming the...

Meiji Shrine (????, Meiji Jing??), located in Shibuya, Tokyo, is the Shinto shrine that is dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and his wife, Empress Sh?ken.[1] When Emperor Meiji died in 1912 and Empress Sh?ken in 1914, the Japanese people wished to pay their respects to the two influential Japanese figures. It was for this reason that Meiji Shrine was constructed and their souls enshrined on N History After the emperor's death in 1912, the Japanese Diet passed a resolution to commemorate...

A huge problem, ...:(

By Neonsim,

"Que worlds smallest violen..." To my fans, sorry for the delay in updating my city, i had to deal with a huge problem. That took up over "10" days.. So, i was working on my city, and i was working on shinjuku, and decided i would make it look more realistic by using the NAM Padestrian tiles, so i planted them around the buildings, and then i saved, But when i got back to the game, it froze then the game completely shut down.... So...after i cooled off, i restarted the game, loaded up the city again, got...

How far i have come.

By Neonsim,

I started my tokyo project back in 2007, since then my computer has crashed 3 times, (Before i knew i could back up my citys) i started again in earlly 2008, But i demolished it all to start my all new tokyo project, Mainly because i love tokyo japan, And that tenpedons CJ inspired me, I have to say, this is one of the Hardest cities i have ever tried to recreate from scratch, Some of the hidden roads and rail systems are not very google maps friendly, During the last 2 months i have not had the...

*Hatsudai, is alot different from Nishishinjuku, it is made up of a "No zoning" residential, as well as "No zoning" commercial lots, Meaning you can have a tall office building next to a school,club,apartment, or house, Minami is also a outter ward to Shinjuku, With Shinjuku metropalitin expressway running right through the center, it's also next door neighbors with the yoyogi ward. Minami also has such land marks as tokiwa shopping complex and Tokyo opera city tower. It also has it's own network of...
