Two weeks ago I visited a place underground where they raise plants with artificial light. It is in the Marunouchi area next to Tokyo station, I was very surprised to see what they are doing below all those skyscrapers in Maronouchi.
These are some of the pictures I took. In some of the rooms the light was so shinny I had to use sunglasses, it was like going out to the street in a clear summer day.

These two plants are growing with LED light.

Roses

A rice pad.

Can you find the pumpkin?

More LED plants

Girls preparing salads made with lettuce and herbs grown underground.

I ate this salad, it was pretty good.

They were selling groceries grown underground with artificial light.

And this is how it looks like upstairs, above the place I just showed you in the pictures. Pretty amazing right?
Yesterday, talking with Ale, he said to me: “Have you realized that DVD is a synonym for porn in Japan?”. And yes, it is a synonym, at list in a “street” context. If you walking around in any Japan city streets and you see a sign that says only “DVD”, then it is for sure a porn movie store.

This is a “DVD” store.
Now you know, if you come to Japan beware of “DVD” 😉 Can you find the DVD in this picture?
