Designed by Kenzo Tange, Yoyogi National Stadium features a unique suspended roof structure. It is a legacy of the Tokyo Olympics and a mecca for architecture and sports.
Located in Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, Yoyogi National Stadium is a world-famous building designed by world-renowned architect Kenzo Tange for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. It is a masterpiece of Japanese modernist architecture, and is a must-see spot for architecture fans as well as tourists interested in history and culture.

The main First Gymnasium uses a structure in which the roof is suspended by main cables like a suspension bridge to create a large space without a single pillar. This creates a sense of unity between the spectator seats and the arena, providing an ideal environment for watching sports. The flowing curves of the roof are a fusion of traditional Japanese architectural beauty and cutting-edge technology, and can be said to be the pinnacle of functional beauty. It is still used as a venue for various sports events and concerts, and you can experience its impressive space.

It is close to trendy areas such as Shibuya and Harajuku, and is easily accessible. It is surrounded by lush green spaces such as Yoyogi Park, so it is recommended to visit and take a stroll around the area. It is not just a sports facility, but also stands out as a living architectural heritage that symbolizes Japan's technological prowess and design sense in the late 20th century.
