Where to stay in Yoyogi
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
The choice in Yoyogi runs between the Meiji Jingū side and the blocks under Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery, two settings that feel unlike each other despite standing a few minutes apart. Rooms lean small. Guests who plan gallery days tend to pick the Tokyo Opera City end, where the NTT InterCommunication Center occupies the same complex.
The shrine end suits early walkers.

About Yoyogi
What are the main landmarks in Yoyogi?
Five collections carry the district. The Meiji Jingū Museum and the Meiji Jingū Hōmotsuden both carry the Meiji Jingū name, and a visitor working through the pair covers two houses of the same holdings without leaving Yoyogi. Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery and the NTT InterCommunication Center pair pictures with screens.
The Memorial Museum for Soldiers, Detainees in Siberia, and Postwar Repatriates records a harder subject than the rest.
What is the history of Yoyogi?
Yoyogi's founding is dated to 1906. What the district holds came later, and the run of institutions from the Meiji Jingū Hōmotsuden through the NTT InterCommunication Center marks how much of its present character was built rather than inherited. Shibuya encloses it.
The Memorial Museum for Soldiers, Detainees in Siberia, and Postwar Repatriates keeps a twentieth-century record that reaches far past Tokyo.
Where is Yoyogi?
Yoyogi covers ground in the northern part of Shibuya, close enough to Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery for those towers to set the skyline.
