It is understood that IMMERSIVE FORT TOKYO covers an area of nearly 30000 square meters and was renovated from the Venus Fort shopping mall in Paletto Town, a large comprehensive facility in Tokyo. The new theme park utilizes the original 18th century European street theme of the mall for renovation, creating 10 themed scenes, 4 restaurants, and 2 surrounding shops.
Unlike traditional theme parks, this place not only brings highly popular movies, animations, novels, and games from Japan and even the world to theme parks, but also allows consumers to experience these "famous events/scenes" firsthand as the "protagonist" of the story. Depending on each person's reaction and action, the process and ending they experience will be very different, creating an immersive experience that is completely their own.
