Year: 1964.

The National Yoyogi Stadium in Tokyo is today considered to be the most beautiful and impressive stadium in the world. The construction of the stadium was finished in 1964. It was built for the organization of international competitions, the Olympics. The National Yoyogi Stadium is strikingly different from the typical battles that can be seen in the other cities of the world.

The stadium is a complex complex with a lot of metal constructions and supports. When you look at the stadium from the height, it reminds you of the huge shell. Since opening, it has been the largest stadium in Japan and is used for various and important sporting events, including international competitions. The stadium is located on the territory of the incredibly beautiful park where the Olympic village was located in 1964.

After the sporting event you can spend a while in this beautiful place and visit the magnificent park. Here is one of the most important religious sanctuaries of Japan - Meiji-jingū located. Travelers who visit the stadium in the spring can see the many beautiful landscaping elements in the park and graze on the blossoming Japanese flower cherry. On the Yoyogi Park Territorium there are a lot of excellent resorts, sports grounds and special picnic areas. In good weather there is a very lively atmosphere in the surroundings of the most beautiful stadium in the world.

Top destination around Yoyogi National Gymnasium - Tokyo

It is impossible to imagine an acquaintance with the capital of Japan, without visiting one of its main permanent symbols. The Imperial Palace is simply a blessing for tourists who prefer to admire the gorgeous views of luxurious palaces and gardens. Despite the fact that the palace is located next to state institutions, it does not in the least violate the integrity of the composition of the building. The palace is fashioned in the traditional Japanese style. Be aware, that tourists are not allowed into the territory of the palace, as it is the current residence of the emperor. However, you can visit the gardens after the New Year celebration or on the Emperor’s Birthday.

Another building considered notable from an architectural point of view is the so-called “Narrow House”. This house was built based on the project of the architect Kota Mizuishi. The building came into existence, as a result of the desire to economize space. You can encounter such houses in the Suginami area. There is another district – Yanaka – which is famous for its originality. The fact is that, this is practically the only place in the capital of Japan that survived both the earthquake of 1923 and the tragic events of the Second World War. Ryunosuke Akutagawa’s hometown today acquired a futuristic look, but it was decided not to renovate the Yanaka district. This is why there is a possibility to discover the real “soul” of old Tokyo. You might find it hard to believe that next this busy city there can be such a miracle – an oasis of calm and peace.
