Ministry of Defense Meguro Area

The Ministry of Defense Meguro Area is a military facility in central Tokyo with administrative buildings and defense operation centers. The installation occupies substantial grounds in the Naka-Meguro district and houses various departments of the defense system.

The facility was established in 1857 as a powder production plant under the Tokugawa shogunate and later transformed into a naval research center in 1930. This transition marked a shift toward marine technology development and military research focus.

The facility maintains strong connections with local communities through organized events that demonstrate the Japan Self-Defense Forces' capabilities and responsibilities.

The complex is easily reached via Nakameguro Station, which connects to multiple transit lines. Visitors should note that this is a military facility and public access may be restricted.

The grounds house specialized research institutes focused on naval equipment and military technology development. These facilities play a key role in Japan's defense innovation and technological advancement.
