I came across these interesting pictures from New Launches today that I thought were really neat. These photos were taken inside the Tokyo sewer system and look nothing like the sewers we have around here. As far as I can tell, these aren't mock-ups nor was Photoshop used. So take a look and feast your eyes on one serious sewer system.
