Ageo City Gymnasium is one of the venues where the Saitama Ageo Medics, a member of the V-League volleyball team, play their matches.
The gymnasium is about 2 kilometers from Ageo Station, so it takes less than 30 minutes to walk there.
Getting to the Stadium
For access by train, it is about 2 kilometers from JR Ageo Station on the Takasaki Line, so if you are going on foot, it should take about 20 to 30 minutes.

The west exit is the exit for the Ageo Civic Gymnasium.
The landmark of the west exit is the Ito-Yokado in front of the station.

Omiya Station is one of the largest stations in Saitama Prefecture, and the Shinkansen also stops there.
