Towa Pharmaceutical RACTAB Dome is a multi-purpose arena located in Kadoma City, Osaka Prefecture.
The main arena is open as a skating rink in the winter and as a swimming pool in the summer.
The venue has hosted major competitions in the past, including the NHK Cup figure skating competition and the Volleyball World Championships.
Getting to the Stadium
The nearest station to the venue is Kadoma Minami Station, which is on the Nagahori Tsurumi-ryokuchi Line. If you are coming from a major station in Osaka, for example Umeda, it will take about 50 minutes to get there after changing trains at Shinsaibashi Station.
If you are coming from Itami Airport, you can take the monorail to Kadoma City Station, but there is a distance of 3.5 km from Kadoma City Station to the venue, and there is no train service from Kadoma City Station to Kadoma Minami, so you will have to take a cab.
