Review: We have seen many virtual tourism experiences before, but I have to give credit to ‘Beyond Tokyo’ for presenting it in a new and interesting way. You travel around a small 3D world which is filled with interesting things to interact with which will then trigger a 2D video or some interesting facts. While I would have liked it to be free I understand that some time and effort has gone into this. If you have any interesting in Japanese culture this is worth a look, but it really should have been free making just about any cost seem too much.
