 The purpose of this study is to clarify the characteristics of the ceremonial space associated with the nation and the Imperial Court in modern Tokyo. Focusing on the temporary use of parade grounds and imperial estates in the western part of Tokyo, I derived the possible factors for the site selection and the characteristics of the ceremonial spaces of modern imperial funerals in Tokyo. The subjects of investigation are the imperial funerals of Empress Eisho in 1897, Emperor Meiji in 1911, Empress Shoken in 1914 and Emperor Taisho in 1927.
 In the second chapter, I digested the history of the western part of Tokyo, as a condition of the thesis. Extending from the center part to the periphery, parade grounds and imperial estates were located in modern Tokyo to be concentrated on the north side of the Oyama Road (Current Aoyama St.). On the other hand, during the expansion of the urban area of Tokyo, the Nihon Railway Shinagawa line and the Kobu Railway were built to connect the western part of Tokyo to the center of Tokyo and also to the western Japan, then the western part of Tokyo became the hub for travel and transportation, especially for the military purpose.
 In the third chapter, I examined the process of site selection, the plan, the scale and the route of each imperial funeral by researching the government documents, then I clarified the fact that the site had sifted from Aoyama Parade Ground to Yoyogi Parade ground and to Shinjuku Gyoen, influenced by the environmental changes of the western part of Tokyo. Then I also revealed that the site of the modern era was larger than that of the early modern era and all sites had the same layout plan of temporary buildings in funerals. As for the route, I pointed that all of them were 4-7 km, containing the Oyama Road and that the whole route served as the urban scale ceremonial space.
 From the above analysis, I derived the four possible conditions of the site for imperial funerals; 1 possession, 2 history, 3 size and figure, and 4 location. Ueno Park and the Imperial Palace Plaza also met the condition 1, 2 and 3, but as for the condition 4, the parade grounds and imperial estates in the western part of Tokyo were favorable because they were close to the Oyama Road, the Nihon Railway Shinagawa line and the Kobu Railway. It can be argued that the site selection was much influenced by the limited use of the parade grounds and imperial estates and also the existence of the military installations and the development of the traffic networks. The candidate sites were almost limited to the parade grounds and the imperial estates in the western part of Tokyo by the conditions, and the site for each funeral was selected according to the situation at the time. Then, in adapting to the different site, the ceremonial space in modern Tokyo had become universal, not defined by any specific site or institution. The site in the early modern era, Sennyu-ji temple has been strongly connected to the Imperial Court from the medieval era, while those in the modern era had been connected to the Imperial Court since the Meiji era and become commemorative places by being used as the site for imperial funeral, and then it led to the development of the surrounding area after that.
