Fukuoka's rink saved by 55,000 signatures, reopened in 2023 as the O-VISION Ice Arena

The rink opened in 1991 and passed to Saibu Gas's city-development arm in 2009. It closed in July 2021 because of its age, and skating fans responded with a petition of 55,000 signatures asking for it to survive.

The Japan Skating Federation offered support for a reopening, Fukuoka Prefecture and Fukuoka City backed it as a public facility that draws competitors from all over the country, and the prefectural skating, ice hockey and curling bodies ran a crowdfunding campaign. The rink reopened in April 2023.

It has 1,000 spectator seats and hires out buckle and lace figure skates and hockey skates from 15 cm. Its name comes from the O-VISION apartment brand of its naming-rights partner, S Trust of Shimonoseki, and it offers a Skaters Club membership with a lower day price.
