Jingu Gaien District Urban Redevelopment Project

Open SpaceOpen Space

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.

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.

Enhanced barrier-free accessibility
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.

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

More pedestrian-friendly with less congestion
