One of the biggest of its kind in Japan! Combining a water fountain display with 3D projection mapping, the "ONE PIECE Water Spectacle" is here to adorn the winter at Canal City Hakata!

Combining video and audio… This is a shape-shifting water fountain show that is a real must-see!

A shopping and entertainment complex that has become a symbol of Fukuoka, Canal City Hakata has refurbished the "Sun Plaza" event space that lies within the facility, as a part of their 20 year anniversary celebrations. Included in this refurbishment initiative, is the introduction of an experience-based attraction called "Canal Aqua Panorama," which makes use of 3D projection mapping (at 2,500 inches this is one of the biggest in Japan), illuminations, audio and water fountains. The new fountain devices are incredibly sensitive and dynamic, meaning that audience will really be able to enjoy the productions. The new display was unveiled to the public on Saturday 19th November, but just before that there was a preview for the press on Thursday 17th November and asianbeat went along to check it out!
All the colorful lighting makes the venue look even more stunning!









In his remarks, he also said that "working towards the next 10 or 20 years, starting with 'Canal Aqua Panorama,' we will continue to do our best to make sure that as many people as possible can experience the excitement.'"
