Bell Sunpia Miyagi Izumi is a complex with a hotel, swimming pool, tennis court, golf driving range, and skating rink located in the suburbs of Sendai.
It's a bit far from the nearest train station, so you'll basically need a car.
The skating rink has hosted a skating show by Mao Asada in the past.
Basically, it's not a venue for big events, but rather a skating rink for Figurine competitions such as the Northern Japan Championships.
