Overview

Meiji Jingu Gaien is a vast green space adjacent to Meiji Jingu Shrine, built to commemorate Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken. Opened in 1920, it was initially called "Meiji Jinguen" but was renamed "Meiji Jingu Gaien" in 1926. The Gaien boasts numerous sports facilities, including Jingu Stadium, the National Stadium, tennis courts, a driving range, and an indoor ice skating rink. Cultural facilities such as the Seido Memorial Art Museum and the Meiji Jingu Museum also reside within, making it a place where nature and culture intertwine in the heart of the city, beloved by many. The approximately 300 ginkgo trees lining the avenue are iconic symbols of the Gaien. In autumn, the ginkgo leaves turn a brilliant golden yellow, creating a breathtaking landscape. Spring brings a vibrant display of cherry blossoms, attracting numerous hanami (cherry blossom viewing) enthusiasts. The Gaien also features lush gardens, ponds, and fountains, offering beautiful scenery throughout the year. It's the perfect destination for those seeking respite from the city's hustle and bustle, wanting to enjoy nature, sports, or culture.
