On August 28, the Toyota Group unveiled to the media the large multi-purpose arena TOYOTA ARENA TOKYO in Tokyo’s Odaiba district, Japan. It will open on October 3.
This new facility utilizes the site of the Toyota Group showroom MEGA WEB, which closed in 2021. Toyota Motor Corporation owns the land, Toyota Fudosan (Toyota Real Estate) owns the building, and Toyota Alvark Tokyo is responsible for operating the facility. In Japan’s men’s professional basketball league (B.League), Alvark Tokyo will use it as its home arena, and Sunrockers Shibuya will also host home games there starting in 2026.
The main arena is approximately 2,730 square meters. Its oval shape provides clear views of the court from every seat around 360 degrees, and all seats are cushioned PVC leather with cup holders. The center-hung video board is 11 meters wide, 7.6 meters high, and 6 meters deep. Two tiers of ribbon boards encircle the seating, bringing the total screen area to about 1,000 square meters.
Suites and lounges for VIPs are also provided. In the highest-grade TOYOTA PREMIUM LOUNGE, chefs in a live kitchen prepare and serve dishes such as meat courses and tempura on the spot.
In addition to sports, the venue accommodates music concerts and MICE use, with capacity up to around 10,000 in a sports configuration and about 8,000 for concerts. As the inaugural performances, the four-piece band Official HIGE DANDism will hold concerts on October 11 and 12.
