Meiji Park

Meiji Park is the first metropolitan park to utilize the public installation and management system (Park-PFI) project based on the Urban Parks Act, and opened in October 2023. The project site is approximately 1.6 hectares of the front garden of the National Stadium, and the new park is being developed, managed and operated by Tokyo Legacy Parks Co., Ltd., a consortium of six companies, of which Tokyo Tatemono is the representative constituent organization.
In 2021, we were consulted by Tokyo Tatemono and were in charge of the overall planning direction and architectural design supervision. We discussed with the client how to create a new park that embodies the concept of "creating a park that will become a legacy for the city of Tokyo that we can be proud of around the world," and were involved in creating a new park life that meets diverse needs, including well-being and diversity.

The park features three plazas, including the 1,000m2 grass plaza "Hope Plaza" and the "Path Plaza" that incorporates a waterscape based on the Shibuya River, as well as a 7,500m2 wooded area called "Pride Forest." In addition, five publicly-bid park facilities (store buildings) were installed to improve the convenience of park users and create a lively atmosphere. Currently, each building is home to a cafe, relaxation facility, restaurant, outdoor activity shop, and more.

We were also in charge of the business planning and construction (excluding the sauna area) of the first store of "TOTOPA," an urban spa facility newly developed by the Tokyo Tatemono Group.* Located on the second and third floors of Building A, the store is equipped with a sauna, a 160cm deep cold bath, a fitness area, and various lounges.
