we hope everyone will participate as part of the initiatives to co-create new greenery for the next 100 years ofJingu Gaien under the project with a desire to make the greenery of Jingu Gaien more accessible and enjoyablefor the general public.

1. The Reiwa Tree Donation ProgramMeiji Jingu Gaien was formerly built through monetary donations and donated trees from the public under thecall of people including Eiichi Shibusawa, and continues to be used to this day. Over many years, it has beenrenewed through human labor and opened to the public as a green space and cultural and sports facility, and has
been enjoyed by many people. Based on a desire to make the greenery of Jingu Gaien more accessible andenjoyable for the general public over the next 100 years, we will launch the Reiwa Tree Donation Program (“theprogram”) while receiving cooperation from The Tokyo Chamber of Commerce and Industry in which Eiichi
Shibusawa, who devoted his full effort to the establishment of Meiji Jingu Gaien, served as chairman.
The program will be designed to create new greenery in Jingu Gaien by selecting trees of appropriate species
and ages and planting new trees, while taking into consideration the wishes of the public and the vegetation ineach area. In this way, we will aim to not merely accept the donations of the trees themselves, but to make iteasier for those who agree with the purpose of the program to participate, and develop a scheme to raise funds
for the creation of new greenery.
