Boat Race Edogawa

The Edogawa racing facility features a 600-meter oval course where six powerboats compete in three-lap races totaling 1,800 meters distance.

The facility operates since 1952 as part of Japan's regulated sports betting system, allowing spectators to place wagers on motorboat competitions.

The racing venue represents one of Japan's four public sports facilities where gambling remains legal, attracting numerous spectators throughout the year.

Visitors reach the stadium via free shuttle buses from Hirai Station or Funabori Station, with general admission areas offering no-cost entry.

Each race begins with a flying start system where boats must cross the starting line within one second of the countdown clock reaching zero.
