Approximately 160 years ago, during Japan's Meiji era, a transformative period in the nation's history began. Marked by the Taisei Hokan (the restoration of imperial rule), which signaled the end of the Edo period, Japan opened itself to foreign civilizations. These influences merged with the country’s deeply rooted traditions, giving rise to modern industrial facilities and cultural advancements, which drastically transformed everyday life. The main building of Meiji Kinenkan, originally constructed as the Constitution Memorial Hall, has witnessed and preserved this modernization. This era of change, characterized by remarkable openness to the world, is embodied in this unique and historically significant building.
Meiji Kinenkan’s banquet rooms are designed to accommodate a broad range of gatherings, from small, intimate groups to major international galas. And regardless of the scale of the event, our guests receive the same high level of service and attention.
Whether it’s an important dinner with guests from abroad, or a more intimate, casual meal with family or friends, Meiji Kinenkan has the ideal setting—and style of cuisine—to ensure that you and your guests and companions remember the wonderful time they had.
As the wedding venue for Meiji Jingu Shrine, Meiji Kinenkan crafts and conducts ceremonies and receptions brimming with dignity and grandeur commensurate with the eternal joining of people and families.
