Yokohama Budokan is located in Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture.
It is a venue that can hold events of up to 3,000 people.
Getting to the Stadium
If you are arriving at Tokyo Station by Shinkansen (if you are in the Kansai area, it is closer to get off at Shinagawa), you can transfer to the Keihin Tohoku Line.
It takes about 35 minutes from Shinagawa to Kannai.
From Tokyo Station, it takes about 50 minutes.
If you don't mind changing trains, and if your train schedule is good, you can take the Ueno-Tokyo Line from Tokyo to Yokohama and change trains, but I don't think it makes much difference considering the time it takes to change trains.
If you happen to be in Tokyo or Shinagawa, you can take the train to Yokohama and transfer to the Keihin Tohoku Line at Yokohama.
The exit is on the opposite side from the Yokohama Stadium.
About the Stadium
Yokohama Budokan is made up of arena seats, fixed stand seats, and temporary seats that fill the space between the stand seats and the arena seats.
On the seating chart, stand seats are referred to as third floor seats.
Location: 2-9-10 Omachi, Naka-ku, Yokohama City
Capacity: 3,000
Opened: July 2020
