GLION ARENA KOBE

A basketball court that echoes with cheering voices; a live stage that combines light and soundAn amazing view wherever you are!

GLION ARENA KOBE was created in April 2025 on Kobe’s Port Island. This is an exciting entertainment arena where sports, music, and people’s smiles come together. Its key appeal is its location: here, you can enjoy events in an arena surrounded by the sea on three sides, as well as the scenery of the sea of Kobe.

This is the home arena of the Kobe Storks, a professional basketball team, where you can experience intense matches that even let you feel the players’ breaths. It can hold up to 8,000 people seated, and is cleverly designed so that no matter where you sit you are gifted with a great view. During live performances by your favorite artists, you can embrace the excitement unfolding before your eyes with your whole body.

To enable people to spend an enriching time here before and after events, the arena contains a stylish cafe and bar, a restaurant where you can enjoy Kobe gourmet, and even a shop selling limited goods. Outside you’ll find TOTTEI PARK, surrounded by the sea on three sides; the central green hill serves as its symbol. The roof is shaped like a staircase, making it a great spot to take a short break. Its grounds hold a hall that can be used for events, a shop that assembles beers based on staff recommendations, and a store where you can enjoy a barbeque! Use this space as you please, whether you’re getting pumped up for an event, or relaxing and looking out at the scenery.
