Musashino Forest Sport Plaza

This facility was born to meet the increasing variety of recent sports needs and as one step in the realization of the Metropolitan government target for “Sports Metropolis Tokyo”. It is expected to contribute towards community development through invigorating local communications and activities in addition to promotion of sports. It realizes a comprehensive, multi-functional facility that is capable of hosting a wide variety of sports events and cultural events such as music concerts. It accommodates local sports and recreational activities, competitive and professional sports as well as the needs of a variety of cultural events.
The Arena forms a network with the neighboring Ajinomoto Stadium, Nishi Athletic Field and some other facilities, creating a single huge sports base in the Tama Area in western Tokyo. International sports events and other large-scale events will bring increased activity and invigorate the local economy and the promotion of a wide variety of sports events will create a local landmark through the cultural exchanges between the local population and attending domestic/international visitors.
The spatial sequence unfolding from the local station envisions the large entrance eave merging with and complementing the Ajinomoto Stadium as a special space and local landmark. It has been selected as a facility for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics Games. We take pride that our design will remain in our memories.
