  • Open Space and Liveliness

Redevelopment project to create a community where all visitors are welcome to have a good time

Space for daily, casual use by all, assuring safety and comfort.

The current problem of “the space being fenced in and discouraging visitor entry” will be resolved by increasing the ratio of open space from about 21% to around 44%.
Many will be able to enjoy the “time to feel the sky and immerse in greenery” in the wide-open space of the new Central Plaza. The plaza is also expected to become a wide-area evacuation site in case of disaster and to be utilized as a disaster prevention center offering greater safety and security.

  • Commercial and business functions represented by mixed-use building A, offices, etc., will be located along Aoyama-dori Avenue and Stadium Street, contributing to creating a community and encouraging a wide range of people to visit.
  • Along the flow line connecting the baseball stadium annexed with a hotel, rugby stadium, etc., various stores, cultural exchange facility and accommodation facility that can be used in conjunction with the sports facilities will be built to create bustling space offering liveliness even on days when baseball games are not held.

Uninterrupted flow line from the Four Rows of Ginkgo Trees-lined street to the area leading to the Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery will be realized.
Current location of facilities

Passing through the Four Rows of Ginkgo Trees that line the path from Aoyama-dori Ave., the rubber-ball baseball ground enclosed by a fence will stand in the way, making it impossible to proceed straight through to the Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery.

After completion

People will be able to proceed straight in the direction of the Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery through a redeveloped garden that will center on the original grass lawn.

Improvement in access from the railway station and between facilities for visitors with disabilities
Current location of facilities

Continuity of barrier-free routes linking a subway station and various facilities has not been achieved, leading to many dead-end paths and unnecessary detours to reach the facilities.

After completion

Dead-end paths will be eliminated and accessible routes linking the station and facilities will be improved.

Improvement in the pedestrian flow lines between facilities
Current location of facilities

It is difficult to walk around this area on days when sports events are held due to crowding.

After completion

The flow of pedestrians will be greatly improved, making it easier to walk around the area.

Generating liveliness with integration of plaza space
Current location of facilities

Lack of open space and others offering enjoyment of greenery and of liveliness in the district in general

After completion
