The Saitama super arena is a nice spot to watch sports and performances. I’ve been here for both basketball games and Disney on Ice. If you buy anything in the arena it’s a little pricey but that’s to be expected. Also the area around the arena is very interesting. There’s a big mall around there with plenty of shops and restaurants. If you have the chance come watch something here, it’s a really great experience.
We came here for Viva La Rock music festival. It’s such a great space - right on the station, there’s convenience and chemist stores, and restaurants right next door under cover. The way they used the space for the music festival was so well done, two stages in the main area with video screens. There was seating as well as standing and mosh. There was chill out sections and food stands as well.
