青森県営スケート場

The Aomori Prefectural Skating Rink is a multipurpose arena with a main ice surface accommodating around 2,000 spectators for skating events and competitions. The same hall can be reconfigured to hold up to 10,000 people for concert performances and other large events.

The facility was built in 1985 and initially served as a training and competition venue for winter sports. It gained international attention when it hosted the World Curling Championships in 2007, establishing itself as a major sporting venue.

The venue hosts live performances by major Japanese artists, drawing audiences who come to experience concerts in this multipurpose space. This shift from ice skating to concert hall demonstrates how the facility serves different purposes depending on the season and scheduled events.

The facility operates during winter months with varying hours depending on whether you visit on weekdays or weekends throughout the season. Checking current opening times and event schedules before your visit is recommended, as the venue may have different access depending on which activities or performances are scheduled.

While serving as an ice skating venue during cold months, the space converts for inline skating activities during warmer seasons. This seasonal transformation allows the facility to support different sports and entertainment throughout the year without remaining idle.
