Events and Sports around Gaiemmae

Gaiemmae is one of central Tokyo's stations where major sports events can noticeably affect everyday conditions. Meiji Jingu Gaien contains Meiji Jingu Stadium, Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium and other facilities, and pedestrian traffic from the station toward the venues rises substantially on baseball, rugby and other event days. Large events at the nearby National Stadium can also influence pedestrian volumes and restaurant demand across the wider Aoyama-Gaien area. In autumn, the ginkgo avenue brings another wave of visitors. Event schedules change by year and season, so official venue calendars should always be checked. For residents and businesses, events generate vibrancy and customer demand but can also bring crowding, noise, higher taxi demand and altered road conditions. Anyone assessing a home, office or shop is therefore advised to visit both on a normal weekday and during a major event.
