ABOUT
The First Official Guest Facility within the Imperial Palace Grounds – Meiji Kinenkan
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.
