Brex Arena Utsunomiya is a gymnasium located in Utsunomiya City, Tochigi Prefecture.
It is home to the Utsunomiya Brex of the B League.
It is located about 20 minutes on foot from the east exit of JR Utsunomiya Station, making it a convenient arena to access.
Getting to the Stadium
Basically, the best way to get there from JR Utsunomiya Station is to walk. Take the east exit of Utsunomiya Station and walk.
The atmosphere in front of the station at the east exit is a little more relaxed.
There are many stores at the west exit, so if you want a quieter exit, the east exit is the way to go.
Next to the arena, there is a unique building called Tochigi Prefectural Utsunomiya Industrial Exhibition Hall "Marronnier Plaza".
This building is more unique and conspicuous than the arena.
