TOYOTA ARENA TOKYO, one of Japan's largest multi-purpose arenas, will soon open in Aomi, Tokyo. The interior, previewed to the media, offered a glimpse into its potential as a venue that goes beyond sports and concerts to foster new culture in the city. This is not just an event facility; it is envisioned as a "hub" that stimulates people's lifestyles and sensibilities and evolves the city itself.

A world-class arena experience
The main arena's maximum capacity is approximately 10,000 people. Boasting one of the largest stadiums in Japan, the stadium's design philosophy is focused on "delivering the best possible experience to each and every spectator." Seats are carefully positioned to ensure unobstructed views of the stage and field from every seat. This allows you to clearly see the expressions of the artists and the movements of the athletes, and directly feel the excitement of the venue.

In addition, the stadium's sound and lighting are world-class, meeting cutting-edge standards. Live music performances are filled with delicate sound that faithfully reproduces the artist's intent, and sporting events are heard with clear, clear cheers and commentary. Additionally, the 360-degree projection equipment surrounding the entire arena creates an immersive experience never before seen in Japan. The space, which changes its appearance for each event, truly offers a "new arena experience."

Design Connected to the City
TOYOTA ARENA TOKYO's exterior blends seamlessly with the Tokyo Bay area, while retaining a distinctive symbolism that instantly identifies it as a "special place." The design skillfully combines glass and metal, reflecting the sky and sea with a translucent effect during the day, and at night, the rhythm of light brings a new vista to the city.

Another distinctive feature is the public space that extends around the perimeter of the arena. It has been designed as an open space where people can gather even on days when there are no events, and is also intended to host markets, art exhibitions, and community events. In other words, the arena is not just a "box for events," but a place for interaction that connects everyday life with culture. It will function as a new form of social infrastructure that expands the possibilities of public space in the city.

A new standard in “omotenashi” (hospitality)
One of the biggest innovations being introduced by TOYOTA ARENA TOKYO is the evolution of “hospitality”. While previous arenas have had VIP seating and lounges, they have generally been merely incidental elements. However, at this venue, these are positioned at the heart of the experience.

The signature TOYOTA PREMIUM LOUNGE is a space reminiscent of a hotel lounge. Visitors can savor dishes prepared by chefs in the live kitchen right before their eyes, and the service of wine and cocktails will transform the time before and after watching the game into a luxurious experience.

In addition, JAPAN AIRLINES TERRACE SUITE offers six suites themed around "TOKYO." From rooms featuring a modern interpretation of traditional materials such as washi paper and latticework, to playful spaces reminiscent of neon and street culture, guests can experience a different side of Tokyo with each visit. This is a new attempt to bring the "travel experience" cultivated by airlines into the arena space.

In addition, the CHAMPAGNE COLLET PARTY LOUNGE has been overseen by the French champagne house Collet. The spectacle of people enjoying a game or live performance with a glass of champagne in a dazzling space goes beyond the traditional image of an arena, creating a new culture as a social venue. Here, the focus is on "spending time" rather than "watching," and the time spent there will become a special memory for visitors.

With these layers of space expanding, TOYOTA ARENA TOKYO has evolved beyond being just a viewing facility into a luxurious urban "social stage."

Practicing Sustainability
One of the reasons TOYOTA ARENA TOKYO is called a next-generation arena is its serious commitment to sustainability. The waste sorting system, which allows visitors to actively participate, is not just an educational initiative; the entire arena has been designed as a testing ground for turning the arena into a showcase for a recycling-oriented society.

In addition, renewable energy is used wherever possible. Renewable electricity is used for some of the facility's equipment and lighting, and food and beverage service uses tableware made from recycled materials and is increasingly being sourced sustainably. These are not just behind-the-scenes initiatives; the design ensures that visitors find value in "experiencing environmental considerations." How does the city's new landmark portray a "sustainable future?" TOYOTA ARENA TOKYO could be said to provide one concrete answer to that question.

An urban experience colored by art
Visitors to TOYOTA ARENA TOKYO are greeted by more than just the excitement of sports and music. Large-scale installations and light displays are featured throughout the venue, stimulating visitors' senses as if the building itself were a form of media. The open space, which can be visited regardless of whether an event is taking place, is alive with art that colors everyday urban life.

One of the most noteworthy initiatives is the "Able Art" initiative. By exhibiting diverse expressions by people with disabilities and placing them in a place where everyone can naturally experience them, the arena is transformed into more than just an entertainment facility, becoming a stage that celebrates diversity. The works lightly open the hearts of those who view them, making this cultural hub a more inclusive space.

By intersecting entertainment, art, and diverse human expression, TOYOTA ARENA TOKYO will become a presence that updates the city of Tokyo itself, pioneering cultural experiences for the next generation.

A new urban cultural hub
The arena is scheduled to open on October 3, 2025. What will be unfolded here will be a comprehensive experience that goes beyond the existing boundaries of sports and music, incorporating fashion, art, and food culture. The arena will evolve from simply a place to consume events to a stage that creates and disseminates culture. This transformation will further enrich the lifestyles of the city of Tokyo and become a driving force behind creating the culture of the next era.
