↑ This is the rendering of the completed product! ︎! If you walk along the Tokyu Oimachi Line from JR / Tokyu Oimachi Station, it will appear suddenly.However, unfortunately, citywave Tokyo is structurally located slightly above (2nd to 3rd floors), so it is difficult to see from the entrance because it looks up.However, when you go up the stairs, the wooden deck spreads out and it is a completely different space.Is it like an oasis in the city?By the way, this big project, citywave Tokyo, will be the first facility in Asia Pacific.In Europe, we have expanded to Zurich, Switzerland, Vienna, Moscow, Israel, etc., including Miuchen.

↑ The Zurich store I went to the other day, but the location and atmosphere of citywave Tokyo are very close.The facilities in Tokyo are completely outdoors as shown in the photo.Given the unusual heat these days, I feel like it's going to be cool, but citywwave Tokyo is open all year round.It's quite cold in Tokyo in the middle of winter, but what happens?It is possible to raise the water temperature to 26-27 ° C, but it's cold, isn't it?

↑ Surfing in the middle of Tokyo.If it says, it is "URBAN SURF". It originated in the "Eisbach River", a waterway in the city of Miuchen in the 1970s, and has a history of more than 40 years.The waterway that branched off from the main stream has a fast water flow due to the narrowing of the width, and the water of the river rises to the place where the rock was artificially placed as a hydraulic control measure, and it seems that surfing started by using it as a wave.It seems that there are "famous points" in England and Amelia in addition to Miuchen all over the world, but Miuhen seems to be Mecca.The reason is that there are stable waves.Nowadays, it is fully equipped with lighting equipment and is crowded with people who surf the river at night.However, the problem here is ... The water temperature is always 15 ° C to 18 ° C.Some of the people in the photo enter the water with trunks, but they are quite strong.

↑ Currently, there are more than 1000 core river surfers in Germany, and there are more than 1000 places including points unknown in Germany other than the Eisbach river in the photo.I was completely licking river surfing.As you can see from this background, the experience of citywave Tokyo is river surfing, which is a little different from normal surfing.When I went to the sea the other day, the feeling of glide, which is the real pleasure of surfing, is definitely higher in the original surfing.However, it seems that if citywave is also used, it will definitely have a positive effect on normal surfing.Of course, I feel like I can use it for snowboarding.In fact, it's pretty close to the feeling of slipping on a deep powder on a steep slope.

Such citywave Tokyo will open on August 8th. CAP operates as a general director. We are in Oimachi almost every day in August, so please come and visit us. WEB reservation will start from August 11rd.
