Sekisui Heim Super Arena is one of the arenas where the Sendai 89ers of the B-League sometimes play official games, and where concerts by popular artists are held.
The arena is located in Miyagi Sports Park, which also houses a stadium, swimming pool, and other facilities.
Getting to the Stadium
The closest station to Sekisuiheim Super Arena is Rifu Station, not Sendai Station, by train. It is located in the middle of Sendai and Matsushima.
Rifu Station is about 4 kilometers away, so it is not practical to walk there.
Basically, the venue is accessible by car. However, for a stadium-level event, traffic congestion and not many parking lots are available, making the stadium difficult to access.
First of all, if you are looking for a parking lot, there are websites that allow you to reserve a parking lot in the vicinity in advance, so use such websites to reserve a parking lot for the day of the event.
Depending on the event, there may be a shuttle bus from Sendai Station, which may be the most convenient way to get there (there is also a shuttle to Rifu Station, but the number of trains is limited and there are no hotels near Rifu Station).
