On the 2nd, a ceremony to celebrate the completion of the facility was held, and Governor Koike of Tokyo said, "I think that the enthusiasm by top athletes will tell many people the excitement and the wonderfulness of sports. I would like to ask for your cooperation so that it can be used. "
The main arena, where the competition takes place, is about 4100 square meters, with 15,000 spectators at the time of the competition.
Approximately 4,500 people, including local Koto residents, were invited to the ceremony, and when volleyball and wheelchair basketball demonstrations were held, the players were applauded for their powerful play.
In addition, AKB48 members held a mini-concert to excite the venue.
After the Tokyo Games, the facility will be operated by a private corporate group and will be used as an event venue for international sports events and concerts.
