For years, Japan’s VHS Mag has been a trusted outlet for skateboarding culture that connects with skaters.
Recently, they sat down with the co-founders of The Berrics Steve Berra and Eric Koston. The discussion wasn’t about Los Angeles or the original Berrics park but about something new taking shape in the heart of Tokyo.
The spotlight of the conversation was the FUJI BerriQs Skate Plaza, a freshly opened space in Harajuku, Shibuya.
The project brings together the vision of Berra and Koston with the energy of Japan’s skate scene, creating a place where both locals and visitors can connect through skating.
In their talk with VHS Mag, Berra and Koston shared how meaningful it is to see their concept expand into another country.
The Berrics has always been more than just a skate park; it’s been a hub for content, community, and progression within skateboarding.
Now, with the FUJI BerriQs Skate Plaza, that same spirit is being introduced in a different cultural setting.
With the support of VHS Mag and the presence of two legends at its core, the plaza is shaping up to be a special spot for skaters in Tokyo and for anyone who wants to experience what skateboarding culture is all about.
