It was a pleasure to know and come to this beautiful sports arena during that time of this event. It was big and very close to the train station. It was very clean and well taken care of. My daughter was very impressed and honored to be part of the international attendees for this yearly event.

It's a great location for a volleyball match. The location is close to the station, and there are several convenient stores within a 5-minute walk. Despite the large number of people, the management inside the venue was well-handled.
