A year-round ice arena opened in 2020 that is home to the Tohoku Free Blades hockey team
No public skating is posted for the next 7 days. New sessions show here as soon as the rink posts them.
FLAT HACHINOHE opened in April 2020 at the west exit of JR Hachinohe Station. It is described as Japan's first genuinely multi-purpose arena: the ice rink is the base, and a movable floor laid over the ice turns the hall into a court for basketball, volleyball and other sports, or into a space for concerts and exhibitions.
The building covers about 5,150 square metres, rises about 17 metres, and holds around 3,500 people for ice events and 5,000 for basketball. The Tohoku Free Blades of the Asia League Ice Hockey use it as their home arena, and local schools are planned to use the ice for physical education.
Public skating takes place in set slots posted month by month on the arena's news page, and the October image shows the slots for that month only. The arena presents itself as a symbol of Hachinohe, the "ice city", for ice hockey, ice skating and many other sports.
