Breaking news! Gifu city announced a “Metaverse Gifu Castle” project. Metaverse, in this case referring to a virtual space, aims to recreate the Gifu city and castle of Nobunaga’s time and allow visitors to view them using VR apps.

The initial phases is projected to launch summer of 2023, with the more complex VR functions hopefully ready to access by incoming visitors in 2024. 

The archaeological team has so far been able to excavate and study enough material to allow the digital artist team to create a full 3D reproduction of the castle (see the above images), but now they’re aiming to push it further for a more immersive experience.

お城の周りの木は見事に色づいていました。こういいオレンジがかった葉っぱは、陽の光を浴びるとめちゃくちゃ映える。

もみじの額縁。贅沢な景色です。

晴れたり曇ったりの微妙な天気でしたが、この時は青空になってくれました。
