Yokohama International Swimming Pool is an indoor swimming pool and event venue located in Yokohama City.
It is the home of the Yokohama Bee Corsairs of the B League.
In the past, the pool has hosted major events such as the FINA Synchro World Cup, the Pan Pacific Swimming Championships, and the Japan Swimming Championships.
Getting to the Stadium
Get off at Kitayamada Station on the Municipal Subway Green Line and walk for about 10 minutes.
However, it is quite an uphill walk, so it may feel like more than 10 minutes.
Please note that your smartphone's navigation system may not be able to guide you properly.
In that case, you may want to check with the attendant at the station if there is one.
The Green Line is not very familiar to tourists.
Therefore, if you want to go there from a major station, you will have to change trains.
Even in Yokohama, it is a slightly different place.
