About Gotenshita Memorial Arena in The University of Tokyo
The Gotenshita Memorial Arena was built in commemoration of the University of Tokyo’s centennial anniversary,
with funds raised from alumni and school supporters.
The facility is aimed at providing a place where all students and faculty can readily participate in sports and
exercise activities, thereby contributing to the improvement of overall health and well-being. Also, outside
guests not affiliated with the University can also use the Arena, so long as they are accompanied by the student
or faculty member of the Tokyo University. The Arena was originally donated as a national facility, and is run
mostly by financial support from the Japanese government (via the University). However, in order to maintain the
Arena and its facilities at a level that meets the needs/demands of many users, the Arena charges entrance fees,
meaning that users share a part of the running costs. We thank you for your understanding regarding the above,
and hope you will make good use of the Gotenshita Memorial Arena.
