The Seibu group's Higashi-Fushimi rink, open to the public since 1984

The arena opened on 10 August 1984 as one of the Seibu group's leisure facilities. Its ice is a 30 by 60 metre sheet of about 1,800 square metres, and it can hold 3,500 people, with 1,382 fixed seats, 1,100 movable seats and 1,018 standing places.

It is used mainly for ice hockey, including Kanto university league and Tokyo league games, and for figure skating competitions, and on days without them it is open to the public all year round, with a regular skating school every Sunday. The SEIBU Prince Rabbits of the Asia League once used it as their home rink, and a junior hockey club and a figure skating club are based here.

In 1997 Suntory bought the naming rights, the first deal of its kind for a facility in Japan, and in September 2006 the contract passed to Dydo Drinco, whose name the arena still carries.
