I think there might be a thread on this somewhere, but I dont want to be a dick and dig it up and post it here to shut you down. ;)

They give tours apparently. Some fella in the draining forum went there recently. Awesome place.

I remember watching something on the discovery channel about this thing. Pretty genius method of flood control, woot to civil engineers.

It kind of reminds me of the sewer segment of Mirror's Edge... o_O

We didn't need a story. We didn't need a real world. We just had to keep walking. And we became the stories, we became the places. We were the lights, the deserts, the faraway worlds. We were you before you even existed.

I saw a Land Rover commercial that was filmed in there.

The question is not when are we gonna stop, It's who's gonna stop us?

Pretty sure the big chamber in the game was closely based on G-Cans.

I took the tour back in 2006 but due to water further upstream in the system we weren't allowed down onto the floor of the pressure chamber. I've heard that the tours never go right to the floor these days, but I can't verify that myself.

Naturally with a system this size (check out the diagrams online if you're bored) there will be access somewhere for an afterhours. Were I local I'd be able to tell you for sure. I've never seen photos of it illegally explored unfortunately.

Kuroneko has a funny story about his experience there, perhaps he'll chime in.

We've got a couple of similar systems over here. As far as I can tell they're streams that have been blocked off and covered up. GCANS looks like a much neater, cleaner one, like everything in Japan is.
