Tomakomai's New Tokiwa Skate Center, opened in 2014 beside the 1979 rink it replaced

The New Tokiwa Skate Center in Tomakomai, Hokkaido, opened in 2014 on the east side of the older Tokiwa Skate Center. The older centre opened in 1979 as the Nishioka Sports Center, with a pool in summer and a skating rink in winter. A rebuild was announced in 2012 because of its age, and it was due to close in 2016 but was kept as a practice rink at residents' request, until it closed on 31 March 2026.

The new centre operates all year, is used for ice hockey practice and games, and has public sessions. In 2015 sound leaking from the building was found to exceed the city's noise limit, so the city added soundproofing inside and stopped early-morning and late-night use. Since 1 June 2026 the company Narasaki Stax holds the naming rights and the name is Narasaki Stax Ice Arena.

Events held here include the Broomball World Championship in November 2014, the national high school ice hockey championship in January 2015, and ice hockey and short track at the 2024 National Sports Festival in January and February. At large competitions the bigger Tomakomai rinks are the main venues and Tokiwa is the sub-venue.
