Kuribayashi Shokai Arena is a modern multi-purpose indoor sports and events venue in Muroran, opened in 2022 as the new principal indoor facility within Irie Sports Park. Its contemporary low-rise design combines a large main volume with glazed entrance areas, creating a practical setting for a variety of sporting disciplines and events. The main arena is large enough for two basketball courts and provides around 790 spectator seats, wheelchair spaces and configurations capable of accommodating approximately 1,000 spectators depending on the event setup.
The interior is primarily designed for sporting competitions, while its flexible layout also supports other types of events. In addition to the main arena, the complex includes a multi-purpose hall, studios, a training room and a 200-metre indoor running track. Spacious circulation areas and supporting facilities make the venue practical for spectators, while the sound experience at amplified events can vary according to the stage layout and technical production.
The arena is located at Iriecho 1-62, Muroran, Japan, within the Irie sports complex. Visitors arriving by car can use parking options within the sports park area, while Muroran Station is approximately an eight-minute walk away and nearby bus stops can be reached in about five minutes on foot.
