Yokohama Hiranuma Memorial Gymnasium is located in Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture.
Getting to the Stadium
From the west exit of JR Yokohama Station, take the city or Sotetsu bus to Mitsuzawa Sogo Ground Entrance or Shimin Hospital.
If you are taking the train, take the Blue Line to Mitsuzawa Kamimachi Station and walk 15 to 20 minutes to the venue.
It may take a little longer as it is quite a hilly walk.
The Blue Line is mainly used to connect Yokohama Station and Shin-Yokohama Station, so I think it's easier to take the bus.
