“Theatre-type park” opens at the Ikebukuro west exit To hold a concert once a week 7:57 on December 19
The Ikebukuro West Exit Park in Toshima-ku, Tokyo has been renovated and reopened as a “theater-type park”, and a commemorative classic concert was held on the 18th night.
The Ikebukuro West Park in Toshima Ward was renovated for 2.9 billion yen as a park that also serves as an open-air theater that can accommodate classical music, dance, and theater.
On the night of the 18th, a commemorative classic concert was held. Under the direction of Kenichiro Kobayashi, the world-leading conductor, about 90 people including the Toshima Ward Orchestra and the junior high school students in the city, "March" was performed.
At the venue, not only invited guests but also people passing by stopped listening to the music.
In addition to a large screen installed in the amphitheater, you can enjoy realistic sound with the speakers installed in the “Global Ring”, a circular monument with a diameter of 35 meters above the head.
Toshima Ward wants to hold concerts such as classical music in the park once a week from evening to night.
Ayumi Miyashita, Director of Toshima City's Culture and Tourism Division, said, “The previous park was dark and scary for women at night, but I want you to drop in and enjoy music from now on.”
