The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has just put itself on the world map by bagging the Guinness World Records Largest architectural projection-mapped display (permanent).

The images are projected against the eastern façade of Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s Main Building No.1, a tower 48 stories tall that splits into two sections on the 33rd floor, covering an area of roughly 127 meters (417 feet) in height and 110 meters (361 feet) in width from the building’s fourth to 32nd floors.
The show is called “Tokyo Night & Light” and will serve as a new tourist attraction in Tokyo. The company that provided the technology that enabled this world record is none other than Panasonic.
Panasonic Connect has launched the world’s largest permanent projection mapping at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, utilizing its advanced system to create immersive visual and audio experiences.
