It is located in Ageo City, Saitama Prefecture, and is the only year-round skating rink in Saitama Prefecture. 2 skating rinks are available. There is no permanent seating for spectators, so when events are held, the venue is set up for them.
Mao Asada's Thanks Tour is held here, as well as competitions such as the Summer Trophy of Figurine Skating.
Getting to the Arena
If you take the train, get off at JR Ageo Station and walk for about 25 minutes from the east exit.
Although the number of buses is limited, you can also take the Ageo City Circulation Bus "Gurutto-kun" if the time is right.
From Ageo Station East Exit, take the Hara-shi Hiratsuka Circulation bus (bound for Mizukami Park).
Get off at "Suijo Koen Iriguchi" bus stop.
There is a free parking lot if you are driving.
There are two parking lots, one dedicated to the skating rink and the other to the water park, but the water park parking lot is charged during the summer pool season, so please be careful during the summer.
