Located in Yoyogi Park, Shibuya, Tokyo, this 1964 multi-purpose arena was designed by Kenzō Tange to host events for the Summer Olympics that year. The complex comprises a First Gymnasium, celebrated for its distinctive suspension roof design, and a Second Gymnasium annex. Beyond its Olympic origins, the facility has become a versatile venue for sports and entertainment events. Its prominent position adjacent to NHK studios at the park's edge has made the arena a recognizable landmark, regularly featured in NHK Newsline broadcasts.
