ChronicleOfModernArchitecture

Anthropomorphic characters introduce modern architecture in Kyoto and Osaka!

▼Concept

This is a chronicle spun by you and the Buildings, that continues into the future...

One day, you find an old album.

When you open it, you find photos and notes. It looks like someone's diary.

Unable to resist your curiosity, you flip through the pages and notice that a "person who looks just like the building" is in one of the photos. Intrigued, you visit the nearby building.

There, you find a "person who looks just like the building" you saw in the photo.

▼How to play

[As a voice drama]

This is a new type of voice drama that brings you into contact with the history buildings.

Take a peek into their friendships, listen to the origin and secrets of their birth, and get to know them better.

The more you listen to the stories of the various tatemono, the more you may see something special about them.

[As a tool for walking around town and sightseeing]

Buildings themselves will give you a thorough explanation of the profound charm of modern architecture!

Walking around the city while listening to this guide, you will become a master of Kyoto/Osaka's modern architecture!
