Kobe to have 10,000-capacity arena

Japan’s Kobe city is to build a new 10,000-capacity MICE arena as part of a larger area revitalisation plan for the waterfront, which has until recently served as a logistics hub for the port.
Scheduled to be completed by the end of 2024, the arena will be used predominantly for professional sporting events, concerts and international conferences, and will be one of the largest in the Kansai region, which includes Osaka and Kyoto. 
The construction of the arena will also include numerous indoor and outdoor dining facilities, an event space (with a max capacity of 3,000) and a surrounding green area that will serve as a park and recreation space.
The iconic Kobe Port Tower will also be renovated in 2023, to include new viewing platforms and dining facilities, and the city also is putting plans in place to connect the popular shopping and dining district Harborland with the newly-revitalised waterfront area via cable car by 2025, promising passengers spectacular views of the harbour, city and surrounding mountains.
