Lonely Planet review for Kitanomaru-Kōen (Kitanomaru Park)

This large park north of the Imperial Palace grounds is home to a few noteworthy museums as well as the Nihon Budōkan. Westerners know the 14,000-plus-seat Budōkan as Tokyo’s legendary concert hall for big acts from the Beatles to Beck, but it was originally built as the site of martial arts championships (judō, karate, kendō and aikidō) for the 1964 Olympics ( budō means ‘martial arts’). These arts are still practised and exhibited here today.
