Katayanagi Arena

Katayanagi Arena is an event venue located in the basement of a Nippon Engineering College building with a central performance space. The facility was designed to accommodate up to 4,000 attendees and hosts a variety of activities including sports competitions, concerts, and educational programs.

The arena opened in October 2016 and quickly became a key addition to Ota's event infrastructure. Since its launch, it has served as a hub connecting academic programs with professional sports and entertainment activities.

The venue serves as the home court for the Earth Friends Tokyo Z basketball team and frequently hosts television recording sessions. This dual role demonstrates how the space has become central to both local sports culture and media production.

The venue sits near Japan Railway's Kamata Station, making it convenient to reach by public transportation. Check what type of event is happening when you plan your visit, as the schedule rotates between sports matches, cultural programs, and academic activities.

What sets this venue apart is its location underground within a college building, an unusual position for a major event space. This subterranean setting creates distinctive acoustics and an atmosphere that many visitors find surprisingly appealing.
