Chiba Port Arena, Multipurpose arena in Chiba, Japan
Chiba Port Arena is a multipurpose indoor arena in Chiba, Japan. It has a main arena of 2,730 square meters (about 29,400 square feet) and a sub arena of 769.6 square meters (about 8,280 square feet), with a total capacity of 7,512 people.
The arena opened in March 1991 as part of a larger development plan for the area. It was built to serve as a central sports and events facility for the city.
The arena hosts a mix of sports and community events, from professional basketball games to university ceremonies. Local residents often come here for these gatherings, which gives the venue a lively, communal feel.
The arena is a short walk from Shiyakusho-mae Station on the monorail, and several bus lines stop nearby. When attending an event, arrive early to allow time for security checks and to find your seat.
The arena features a large 230-inch video screen, one of the biggest in the region when it was installed. In 2025, a power outage caused a playoff basketball game to be canceled just before tip-off, a rare event that highlighted the venue's importance.
