Meiji Jingu Gaien is home to major sports venues like the National Stadium and Jingu Stadium. The area also borders Aoyama, known for its stylish cafes and boutiques, creating a lively and sophisticated atmosphere.
I visited simply for a walk, but found the area bustling with energy. At the National Stadium, a J-pop boy band event was underway, drawing large crowds of enthusiastic fans. Meanwhile, a professional baseball game at Jingu Stadium added to the lively scene.
This series captures the vibrant and dynamic spirit of a neighborhood where sports, entertainment, and urban life intersect.
Shot with the GR III, these images reflect the energy and contrasts of a city always in motion. ■
