Saitama Super Arena - Saitama

The Arena is conveniently located next to the Saitama- Shintoshin Station with easy access. We actually went there by car to a sold-out U2 concert & surprisingly could easily park inside the venue itself. There was some sort of Christmas Market going on in the main square; so food & drink stalls were set up next to the concert venue’s main entrance. Also right on the other side of the station is a shopping center where you can find more choices for food & of course all sorts of shopping. Overall this is one of the biggest & best large concert venues in Japan.

Came here 15 years ago to watch Pride FC 30. What a truly great experience I will always remember! Oh, and the arena, very unique architecture. RIP Pride FC:(

Great Arena. I was there 2 nights for the Queen & Adam Lambert Rhapsody concert on January 25th and 26th. Everything went very fast, good working at entrance and security. Good sound inside. The concerts were absolutly amazing. Great mood inside.

Had a long queue for Super Junior event, only to found out the goodies i wanted, sold out. Quite spacey place.

First of all, this was my first concert in Japan and in my life! I arrived very early because my wife has been to concerts in Japan and at this arena in the past. Arriving early for such an event is very advantageous as there are a number of things you can do to add to the experience. The restaurants, cafes, bars and, to my surprise and my wife's, booths near the arena to get alcohol food and whatever your heart desires. In addition to that, buying souvenirs for the event requires that you arrive early to increase your options. I was there early but didn't go there to buy souvenirs until way too late, as it turned out. I could only choose from white and green T-shirts (I had wanted black) because almost everything was sold out. Buying a souvenir was important to me and I am satisfied with the green T-shirt I was able to buy. There were so many people at the venue but the staff there had everything under control. We did have to wait and I felt like I was just a part of the herd as we moved into the stadium. Inside the stadium was massive. I was far from the stage but not as far as many others. I was happy to see that they had an enormous screen above and to the back of the stage. My wife said that this is the first time she had seen this (she has been to three U2 concerts and a Linkin Park concert). It really added to the experience because we could actually see Bono's face while he sang. In addition to that, there were several visual effects put on the screen, AND the Joshua tree was beautiful!!! It was a great experience and I would definitely go to another concert at this venue. Just get there early to buy souvenirs if that is something you want.

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.

One of the most popular place to watch concerts. Good environment and big venue.

Was good for Loud Park up until a few years ago when they discontinued it thanks to CreativeMa s overreaction to a lawsuit over a stage diving injury. Now it’s only for sport and pop acts.
