"World's 1st" immersive theme park opens in Tokyo

Immersive Fort Tokyo boasts 11 attractions allowing visitors to enter recreated fictional worlds of characters from popular novels and anime, including those of British detective Sherlock Holmes and J-pop idol series "Oshi no Ko," operator Katana Inc. said.

Before opening, visitors waiting to enter the park clapped and cheered as operators announced they would open 15 minutes earlier than scheduled. The experience recreates settings from Sherlock Holmes' world in 19th century London, replicating locations such as his office and a bar in an approximately 3,000 square meter "immersive theatre," where visitors can walk around freely and attempt to solve a murder mystery.
