The square arena, 108m×108m, in the Dome Building is usable the artificial lawn field as whole or divided. The double corridors are planned to surround the arena.
The square arena and hemispherical roof with double skin are integrated in the blended form. It’s a fascinating scenery that pure white dome as snow floats in between Mutsu bay and Kamabuse-yama mountain.
