Vision for Neighborhood Creation

Create a mixed-used park and neighborhood offering reorganized plaza spaces that everyone can casually visit and enjoy, and enhanced disaster readiness as a safety evacuation area, with a view to shaping the Jingu Gaien district’s new century with sports as the central focus

Weaving a New Century of History and Culture

Jingu Gaien’s gathering places, such as the Central Plaza and the Connection Spot, will make the most of Japan’s culture and Jingu Gaien’s historical legacy, while flexibly reflecting the needs of the next generation. These places will stimulate the creative activities of the next generation and will weave a new century of history and culture together with young people.

1. The project’s policy on the green spaces of the Jingu Gaien district

Preservation of Jingu Gaien’s scenic beauty and creation of new scenic beauty to pass on to the next generation

The project will conserve the four rows of gingko trees, as well as create verdant and dignified scenery and plan a variety of greening initiatives for the next century. Furthermore, the project will continue working to conserve additional trees through creative design modifications and other means, as well as develop new plazas, thereby making green spaces the focal point of the district’s new scenic beauty.

Conservation of Gingko Tree Rows

The project will conserve the four rows of gingko trees, in order to pass on to future generations the scenic view of Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery from the gingko tree rows.

Development of new plazas

An iconic 2.5-hectare Picture Gallery Front Plaza will be created, with the Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery in the foreground. New greenery will be planted in rows in the plaza in front of the Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery.
A 1.5-hectare Central Plaza will be created in a lush, tree-shaded space between the baseball stadium and the rugby stadium.

Creation of a new focal point of scenic beauty

The project will create a Connecting Spot (provisional name) that will act as a node connecting its four green spaces (the gingko tree rows, the area around the Parade Nettle Tree, the Picture Gallery Front Plaza, and the Central Plaza). It will also create green spaces as a new focal point of scenic beauty in the area around the Central Plaza, acting as a counterpoint to the area around the Parade Nettle Tree.

Zone to Preserve and Restore Existing Green Spaces

Considering the original purpose of the establishment of Jingu Gaien, the historical scenic beauty of Jingu Gaien will be preserved, including conserving the four rows of gingko trees and restoring the Western gardens in front of the picture gallery.

Zone to Create Green Spaces of the Future

New green spaces will be developed in the areas around the Connecting Spot and the Central Plaza, creating a green network that runs not only in a north-south direction along the gingko tree rows, but also in an east-west direction.
