Boat Race Tokoname

The Boat Race Tokoname features a 600-meter oval course where six competitors race small hydroplanes through three laps totaling 1,800 meters in length.

The facility belongs to a network of 24 kyōtei stadiums established across Japan following the introduction of boat racing as a legal gambling sport in 1952.

The racing venue incorporates strict regulations for competitors, including specific weight requirements and a complex ranking system categorizing racers from A1 to B2 levels.

Located within walking distance from Tokoname Station, the venue charges an entrance fee of 100 yen and provides both indoor and outdoor seating for spectators.

Female racers participate equally with male competitors in this sport, gaining advantages through weight differences that affect the hydroplane racing dynamics.
