Great pictures of huge stormdrain networks beneath Tokyo. Apparently the vertical shafts are large enough to accomodate a space-shuttle. It seems they have been under construction for over a decade, and should provide protection in the case of a tsunami/etc. Very future-looking.

is this a public open space or is there a possibility to get there for a fotoshoot?

Well there are public tours that are available to everyone, but they are only conducted in japanese. Information for signing up for the tour is here: http://www.ktr.mlit.go.jp/edogawa/works/saigai/sonae/gaikaku/g-cans/english/index.html
As it says, if you don’t speak Japanese, you must have someone who can translate for you because of safety concerns.
