Toyosaki

Monday, 18th December 2006 by James

Continuing last week’s post about inventive use of space in Japan, today’s feature is Toyosaki, a 160 hectare area built on reclaimed land.

The development is just outside Tomigusuku City, and due to its proximity to Naha Airport they’ve made use of the advertising opportunity with some very neat large type that says something along the lines of “For Rent - Project Toyosaki under development”.

More info here (with land prices, if you’re interested).
