History
Prehistory
The area around the Nippon Budokan was originally where Tsuchi-do Shrine (formerly Tayasu Myojin), the guardian deity of the Kanto region, was relocated when Ota Dokan built Edo Castle, and later, when Tokugawa Ieyasu entered the city, it became the residence of the Kanto magistrate Naito Kiyonari and others, and was therefore called Daikan-cho. Later, it became the residence of Tokugawa Tadanaga and Tokugawa Tsunashige, and from the mid-Edo period onwards, the Tayasu Tokugawa family, one of the three branches of the Tokugawa clan, had their residence there, but after the Meiji Restoration it was demolished and became a barracks for the Imperial Guard Division.

History leading up to the construction and the Olympics
In June 1961, when judo was selected as an official sport for the 1964 Tokyo Summer Olympics, some judo-loving Diet members formed the Diet Members Judo Association. At the launch celebration held at Nippon Television's outdoor studio, House of Representatives member Matsutarō Shōriki, who became the association's chairman, stated, "I want to build a world-class martial arts hall in the center of Tokyo and promote the development and spread of this art." On June 30, the Diet Members' Association for the Construction of the Martial Arts Hall (Chairman: Matsutaro Shoriki; Vice-chairmen: , Shigeyoshi Matsumae, , and ) was formed.

This initiative received signatures from 525 cross-party lawmakers, including House of Representatives Speaker Ichirō Kiyose, House of Councillors Speaker Matsuno Kakuhei, Prime Minister , Japan Socialist Party Chairman Jōtarō Kawakami, Democratic Socialist Party Chairman , and Japanese Communist Party Chairman .

On 31 January 1962, with the approval of the Minister of Education, the Nippon Budokan Foundation (Chairman: Matsutaro Shoriki; Vice-chairmen: Atsutaro Kimura, Shigeyoshi Matsumae; Chairman of the Board: Munenori Akagi) was established. After much deliberation, the site for the building was finally decided upon in Kitanomaru, and the Nippon Budokan was completed on 15 September 1964. The opening ceremony was held on October 3, in the presence of and . On 15 October, the Tokyo Olympic martial arts exhibition competitions (kendo, kyudo, and sumo) were held, and from 20 to 23 October, the Olympic judo competitions. Since then, in line with its founding purpose, the Nippon Budokan has been used to promote and popularize various martial arts, hosting various martial arts tournaments, and also for various national events with a public mission.
