The Okinawa City Gymnasium is located in the Koza Sports Park in Okinawa City.
The Koza Sports Park includes the newly built Okinawa Arena, the Okinawa City Gymnasium, the Okinawa City Stadium, the Koza Shinkin Stadium, and the Koza Shinkin Dome.
This gymnasium hosts games of Ryukyu Golden Kings of the B League.
Getting to the Stadium
The location of the Koza Sports Park is less than 30 kilometers from the Naha Airport area.
If there are no traffic jams, it will take less than 40 minutes to drive there, but it is basically a very congested drive from Naha City to the highway, so you should expect it to take about an hour.
Considering that there are few hotels around Koza Sports Park, this is an area where you will need a car.
The park's parking lot will hold 700 cars.
On the days of Ryukyu Golden Kings games, a free shuttle bus is available from AEON MALL Okinawa Laicum (1 Aza Laicum, Kitanakagusuku-mura, Nakagami-gun, Okinawa 901-2306, Japan). Therefore, you can leave your car at the AEON MALL (less than 4 km from Koza Sports Park).
About the Stadium
Koza Sports Park is vast. When you arrive at the Okinawa Arena side, the baseball field area is about a 15-minute walk away.
Okinawa City Gymnasium
Location: 2-1-1 Moromisato, Okinawa City, Okinawa 904-0032, Japan
Seating Capacity: 2,123
Floor Level
The Ryukyu Golden Kings have seats with tables like this on the first floor. In the case of such seats, there is lounge access, and if you can enjoy eating and drinking, it is similar to the NBA, but in the case of the Okinawa City Gymnasium, the seats did not have such lounge access.
I hope the new Okinawa Arena will offer more such services.
