Step 1 - Let's stroll around Itookashi City!
This is Itookashi City, an imaginary city in 2050. You will go to City Hall to register to live in Itookashi City. Put your hand in front of the screen alongside the model, and you will be led through the future city. Through built-in cameras in the model city, the citizens will tell you how 35 cutting-edge technologies, such as the Plant Factory and the Superconducting Cable, benefit their lifestyles.
Step 2 - Let's become an Itookashi Citizen!
In order to become an Itookashi Citizen, you need to offer your idea to make this city better. Think about what you've heard from the citizens, and use the "Waza card" describing cutting-edge technologies, to propose your suggestion to enrich life. You will see how the choices you make affect the city by the changes in the 4 parameters of Environment, Material, Individual, and Society.
