Details

The new private arena in Kobe, located on a pier surrounded by the sea, will be a landmark for the city's waterfront. It will host sports and live entertainment events, becoming a hub of activity that connects with neighbouring areas. The arena's V-shaped roof opens to the sea and mountains, reflecting Kobe's topography. The arena has been designed to reduce the total air volume to meet low-energy standards (ZEB Ready), making it the first of its kind in Japan as a 10,000-seater facility.
