The Journey and Future of Okinawa Suntory Arena Since Its Completion

On March 28, 2021, the Okinawa Suntory Arena held its completion ceremony and was born amidst great expectations. Designed as a facility to attract visitors to Okinawa City and revitalize the region, the arena was built with the premise of diverse utilization, including sports, entertainment, music, MICE, and local events. Serving as a hub for interaction and vibrancy, the facility has grown with the support of many, welcoming over 2 million visitors to date.

Since its opening, the arena has become a space where people gather and share a sense of unity through diverse content, including international tournaments, professional sports, live music performances by domestic and international artists, various events, and MICE.

However, the value of the arena goes beyond mere "facility usage." Okinawa Arena Inc. has emphasized connections with the community centered around the arena, pursuing its identity as a "community-co-prosperity arena" through partnerships with local businesses, providing sports opportunities for children, and hosting citizen-participatory events.

Moving forward, we will go beyond the boundaries of sports and entertainment to further strengthen coordination with tourism, MICE, and local industries, enhancing our role as a hub that contributes to the economic revitalization of Okinawa City and the entire Okinawa Prefecture. We remain committed to safe and secure operations as a facility that promotes regional revitalization and gives back to the community. We will continue to promote initiatives that make the facility feel accessible to citizens and foster interaction with the region, striving to be a facility that is cherished by all.

We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who has supported us thus far. As the designated manager, Okinawa Arena Inc. will continue to strive even harder to ensure that the Okinawa Suntory Arena continues to grow alongside the community.
