Located on the site of the secondary enclosure of Nagoya Castle, it is host to numerous concerts and events. Beyonce performed there on April 14, 2007 as part of her tour The Beyoncé Experience. The gymnasium has 4,375 fixed seats and can accommodate an additional 3,032 on the floor for certain events, giving it a total maximum capacity of 7,407.[2]

Professional Sumo's July Grand Sumo Tournament was held at the site every year from the second until the fourth Sunday in July. Beginning in 2025, the tournament will move to the nearby Aichi International Arena (IG Arena), owned and operated by Anschutz Entertainment Group.[4]
