Description

The Sakai racing facility is a speed boat stadium with a regulated water course where motorized boats compete at speeds up to 80 kilometers per hour during scheduled events. The venue offers multiple viewing areas across three floors with dedicated spaces for watching races, purchasing tickets, and accessing racing statistics.

History

The racing facility was established after World War II as part of Japan's post-war sports entertainment development. It has become an important institution for the local economy and regional sports heritage.

Culture

Boat racing holds a central place in local entertainment, drawing regular crowds who gather to watch skilled pilots navigate the course with precision. The events create a social space where spectators share their enthusiasm for the sport and connect with the racing community.

Practical

Access to viewing areas is well organized, with multiple levels and entrances to help visitors navigate the space. Arriving early is recommended to secure good seating and explore the different sections before races begin.
