The Jingu Gaien area in central Tokyo is a cultural and historic treasure, a mostly green space set aside almost 100 years ago with private donations to honor Japan's famous Meiji Emperor.
People gather in front of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building in Tokyo, Sunday, April 9, 2023, as they protest against the Meiji Jingu Gaien area redevelopment project. An area known as Jingu Gaien is famous for a row of about 150 ginko trees. The redevelopment plans call for razing a historic baseball stadium and a neighboring rugby stadium in the area and rebuilding them in different spots in the reconfigured space, making room for a pair of towering skyscrapers and a shopping area.
"Tokyo would lose its soul," said Ishikawa, who described the area as "the showroom of the Japanese nation" when it was opened.The controversial, billion-dollar project pits a diverse group of activists, preservations, and local residents against Koike, the metropolitan government, and real estate developer Mitsui Fudosan.
"For me and other people who live in the neighbourhood, we never dreamed there would be anything like this happening," said Tenco Tsunoi, a graphic designer who opposes the project. Sachihiko Harashina, an engineer who specializes in environmental planning and is the president of Chiba University of Commerce, said Koike seemed to favor the developers.
