Built to stage judo events at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, Budokan was established to popularize Japanese martial arts.
Characterized by its octagonal shape and onion-domed decoration of the roof, this building was designed to represent Japan's traditions and Buddhism.
Nowadays, it is used for a variety of events, not just martial arts. All kinds of musical competitions, graduations and corporate events are held here, too. Since it is especially well-known as Japan's mecca for live musical performances by rock bands or pop idols, many musicians long to play on stage here.
