Saga Arena, which opened in Japan’s Saga prefecture in May, is one of the biggest arenas now in Kyushu.

It comprises two main venues as well as a selection of multipurpose rooms.

The main arena spans 3,306m² and can accommodate about 8,400 people, while the sub arena takes about 450 people. Both are suitable for academic conferences, trade fairs, exhibitions, and other large-scale events like sports and concerts.

The multipurpose rooms are suitable for breakout sessions, meetings and workshops, with the smallest option being 12m² and the largest 388m². These spaces are good for five to 308 attendees.

Saga Arena is a 15-minute walk from the JR Saga Station, which is a 40-minute train ride from Fukuoka city.

There are various support programmes for event organisers.
