Last month the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), a UNESCO advisory body, issued a “heritage alert” for Jingu Gaien.
Nishikawa believes that the commercial nature of the redevelopment “breaks the promise” of keeping the Jingu Gaien as a public space.
Protesters gather for a demonstration at Meiji Jingu Gaien on September 15, 2023.
Work commenced at the Meiji Jingu Gaien site in March.
“They need to go back to the drawing board and use a much more democratic process to decide the future of Jingu Gaien.”
