1. Significance of the Jingu Gaien District Urban Redevelopment ProjectMeiji Jingu Gaien is a place loved by many people over its long history. While theInner Gardens have maintain a dignified and solemn appearance, the character of
the Outer Gardens being open to the public has remained unchanged since its

Meiji Jingu(Inner Gardens)

establishment, and Gaien has constantly evolved with the times, as a place for people toenjoy various sports and culture, and its greenery.
While the Inner Garden’s forest grows naturally and renews itself without humanintervention, the greenery in the Outer Garden grows along with public use and has
been properly maintained and managed by human hands through the changing times to
its present state, and it must be maintained in the future as well.
In order to preserve Meiji Jingu, including the Inner and Outer Gardens, for the

Shinjuku Gyoen

benefit of future generations, we will protect what should be protected and undertake
necessary renovation and improvements. We will continue to advance the project so thatall visitors, athletes, and spectators can enjoy sports and so that the open Outer Garden
will be a safe and secure place for relaxation and enjoyment for the next 100 years.

Reasons why Jingu Stadium cannot be rebuilt or renewed on site(1) Lack of land for space around the stadium・In order to solve the current issues and make the stadium usable for the next 100 years, it is essential to be able to use the space around the stadium
・The lack of space is so severe that it inhibits stadium operation, as it is surrounded on three sides by two roads and the neighboring land
・The expansion of facilities, such as adding barrier-free features, would cause congestion of pedestrian pathways and create a safety hazard
Jingu Stadium is the smallest of all professional baseball stadiums in terms of both site area and total floor space.

narrowest point)

Reasons why Jingu Stadium cannot be rebuilt or renewed on site(2) Difficulty in securing a construction period for rebuilding and renewal work

・ The stadium hosts more than 450 baseball games and events (including general use) per year from March to November
・ The off-season construction period is only 3.5 months per year, making large-scale renewal work impossible
・ If the stadium were to be rebuilt on the site, demolition and construction would take more than 5 years, during which time thestadium operation would be suspended. When considering the impact on users such as professional, college, and high school
baseball, on-site rebuilding would be impossible

・We request that a construction yard be set up nearby to prevent
heavy machinery from damaging the rows of ginkgo trees, and thatheavy machinery operators maintain an adequate difference from the trees.
・The temporary enclosure will not be driven in as a foundation type, but will be installed with consideration
for the roots.

■Regarding the entire project・We will monitor the area during construction and for a certain period of time after completion, including
researching the vitality of the rows of ginkgo trees and taking ongoing measures for environmental
preservation in accordance with the situation in order to preserve the four rows of ginkgo trees for the future.
