TODOROKI ARENA

Todoroki arena is a gymnasium located in Todoroki green area faces the Tama River in Kanagawa Prefecture. It has been used as a place for big sport events. For JJF 2002, the main arena is used. Inside the Todoroki Arena, you can find restaurants, restrooms, shower rooms and other facilities. On the second floor, there are seats for spectators. Some seats will be open for anyone who would like to enjoy watching the festival.

The nearest train station is either “Musashikosugi station” (Tokyu-touyoko line), which takes about 30 minutes on foot, or “Musashinakahara station” (JR nanbu line), about 15 minutes on foot. There are buses going to the arena from Musashikosugi station and JR Kawasaki station, but the number of buses is limited. 

In case you come from western part of Japan by Tokai-do bullet train, it would be cheaper and faster to get off at Shin-Yokohama.
