| - This is a great location to visit, and seems to be a good spot for holding events, too.
We have gone here for various events, including the Matsuri Festival (kind of a shame that it has turned into an anime fest over the years...there is so much more to Japan's culture than that!) and it's a beautiful area. I love the historic buildings and the landscaping is beautiful. It's surrounded by the city, so you get a good view of the city lights at night, too. It's a fairly good size for accommodating lots of people. I photographed a wedding here over the weekend, and I have to say it's a great photo spot! I didn't have to worry too much about getting something ugly in the background, because most of the area is photo friendly. The wedding was at night, but the lighting setup allowed for some really unique and beautiful shots of the bride and groom. All the guests seemed to be having a blast at the wedding and the layout of the courtyard was perfect for allowing things to run smoothly. The night was chilly, but heaters were provided, so everyone was comfortable. Smart planning, Heritage Square!
One consideration is that the kitchen and preparation rooms look like they are in serious need of renovating. So if you're planning an event that relies heavily on these areas, you probably want to check it out before booking to ensure it will meet your needs. Otherwise, I highly recommend this beautiful, historic location.
