Boat Race Kiryu, Boat racing stadium in Midori, Japan
Boat Race Kiryu is a racing facility in Midori featuring an oval 600-meter track where six boats compete in three-lap races. The venue provides parking and multiple restaurants serving regional dishes for visitors.
The stadium is part of a Japanese racing culture that began in 1952 with the first races and has since grown across the country. This tradition has developed over decades into an established sport in various regions of Japan.
The venue attracts visitors interested in experiencing a traditional Japanese sport that holds deep roots in the local community. Spectators gather here to watch this fast-paced water competition, which has drawn fans from across the region for many years.
