The event hall houses the Ueki Michihiko Phoenix Hall, a memorial to the local former racer nicknamed "Fushichō" (Phoenix).

Wakamatsu Boat Racing Stadium opened in 1952, built by the then city of Wakamatsu, and held its first race on 11 November of that year. It passed to Kitakyushu after the city merged with Yahata, Moji, Tobata and Kokura. In 1953 it hosted the first All Japan Motorboat Championship, the forerunner of today's SG races, making it the birthplace of the Derby.

Motorboat racing here is a popular form of Japanese entertainment where visitors can place bets on race outcomes. The spectators gather in designated areas throughout the facility and become part of a community of racing enthusiasts.

The facility offers races during morning, afternoon, and evening hours throughout the year, with free shuttle bus services to nearby train stations. Visitors can choose from different seating and viewing areas based on their preference.

The stadium uses laser measurement systems to record precise race times and results. This technology allows officials to track the fast-moving motorboats with accuracy as they travel across the water course.
