ALSOK Gunma Budokan

ALSOK Gunma Budokan is a martial arts center located in the Gunma Sports Center in Maebashi, Gunma Prefecture. In the past, it has hosted sumo tournaments and other events.

Getting to the Stadium

The nearest station is Maebashi Station, but it is about 9 km away from the venue.
There are buses to the Gunma Sports Center, but the number of buses is limited, so if you want to take the bus, it is faster to take the bus to Gunma University or other buses that go to the Gunma Sports Center, and walk about 15 minutes from the nearest bus stop.

The venue is usually accessible by car.
There is a temporary parking lot on the grounds, where you can park quite a few cars.
There are also parking lots near each facility, but they are usually for the use of the facility or for the people involved, so if you are driving, use the temporary parking lot. The temporary parking lot is also on the premises.

Number of parking spaces: 1,830

About the Stadium

When the event is held, you'll probably have to park your car in the temporary parking lot, but from the temporary parking lot, you'll pass between the sub-gymnasium and the main building, which is a large building that houses the Gunma Sports Center Sports Museum.
The seating is up a flight of stairs, with the Budokan on the right and the Arena on the left.

Location: 800 Sekine-Machi, Maebashi City, Gunma Prefecture 371-0047
