Built as a Tokyo 2020 Olympic legacy venue (it hosted volleyball at the Games), Ariake Arena opened in February 2020 and now runs year-round as a sports and concert arena. The bowl is a four-level design — an arena floor plus stands on the 2nd to 4th floors — so seat sightlines vary by tier and by the stage layout each promoter uses.

Getting there

- Shin-Toyosu Station (Yurikamome Line) — 8-minute walk
- Kokusai-Tenjijo Station (Rinkai Line) — 17-minute walk
From Shimbashi or Toyosu, take the Yurikamome elevated line to Ariake-Tennis-no-Mori or Shin-Toyosu (about 15–25 min end to end). From Shinjuku/Shibuya, the Saikyō Line runs through onto the Rinkai Line to Kokusai-Tenjijo (no transfer), then it's a longer walk — the Yurikamome route is usually easier for the arena.
What's nearby
It sits in the Ariake bay-area, walkable to Ariake Tennis Forest Park, and a short ride from Tokyo Big Sight, the Odaiba waterfront and the Toyosu market and teamLab Planets — an easy area to pair a show with a full day out.
