We came at pretty late so it was close. But from the outside, AMAZING. It reminds of Taj Mahal because when I look on top of the building, it is kinda familiar. It’s like a huge stadium where events occur like sumos tournament, the Olympics, etc…

Very impressive location. This is my second time visiting this iconic place in Tokyo. If you love martial arts or architecture, you should definitely visit at least once in your lifetime.

The Nippon Budokan, located in Tokyo, is a renowned concert venue that has hosted numerous important music performances since 1962, spanning various genres including rock, pop, jazz, and more. It's not only a holy ground for music enthusiasts in Japan but also attracts many internationally acclaimed artists to perform. Renowned for its unique design and excellent acoustics, it's a coveted stage for many musicians. The designer of the Nippon Budokan is Kenzo Tange, one of the most important architects of the 20th century and a pioneer of modern architecture in Japan. The design emphasizes functionality and practicality to accommodate various types of activities, including concerts, martial arts performances, and sports events. It showcases modernist aesthetics with clean geometric shapes and clear structures, while also incorporating traditional Japanese elements such as courtyard-like designs and a harmonious natural environment. Be joining a concert in Budokan is definitely a must do list for life!

I went here on 3.8.2024 the very first time for Taemin's concert~💎✨️ A super kind gentleman from Callifornia who just transferred to Tokyo for work helped me with my luggage😭! We climbed all the way down the stairs from 清水門(the gate nearby). I was too tired and forgot to ask for his contacts... I only gave him a biscuit from my hometown, Taiwan, and a bag of strawberry chocolates I just bought in Don Quijote....🤣💦 I truly appreciated the help!🫶 I wouldn't be able to check in to the hostel and go to the concert on time without it!!! I don't know if the gentleman can see this review, but dear sir! I'd like to thank you again!! I should have asked you for a cup of coffee or something! Thank you so much for making my day and making the world an even more beautiful place💕! 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
