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. ■
明治神宮外苑には、国立競技場や神宮球場といった大きなスポーツ施設が集まっている。さらに、洗練されたカフェやショップで知られる青山にも隣接しており、活気と上品さが混ざった空気がある。
この日はただ散歩をするつもりで訪れたが、周辺は思いがけず大きな熱気に包まれていた。国立競技場ではJ-POPの男性グループのイベントが行われ、多くの熱心なファンが集まっていた。一方、神宮球場ではプロ野球の試合があり、街のにぎわいをさらに強めていた。
このシリーズでは、スポーツ、エンターテインメント、都市生活が交差する場所の、鮮やかで動きのある空気を記録した。
GR IIIで撮影したこの写真には、常に動き続ける都市のエネルギーと対比が写っている。■
