Hitachi City Ikenokawa Sakura Arena

The Hitachi City Ikenokawa Sakura Arena is a sports complex in Hitachi with a main hall that can accommodate three basketball courts or twelve badminton courts. The grounds also include training rooms for various sports and additional facilities for different activities.

The complex opened in 2017 as part of the Hitachi Citizen Sports Park in Ibaraki Prefecture. It was built to expand recreational and sports opportunities for the local community.

The facility dedicates separate rooms to traditional Japanese martial arts, with two spaces for judo and kendo practice. You can watch athletes working on their techniques in these specialized areas.

The site is best reached via the JR Joban Line to Hitachi Station, then by bus to the Undokouen-mae stop. The facility operates throughout the day and evening, making it accessible for both morning and evening visits.

The complex features an archery range available only to advanced practitioners or those training with certified instructors. This demonstrates how the facility blends specialized Japanese practices with modern sports.
