The Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium is a complex of three separate buildings, initially constructed in 1952 and completed in 1954. It is located in Tokyo, Japan.
The first venue is the main stage for major sporting events, such as the figure skating championships in 2007. After renovation in 1990, its maximum capacity is 10,000 spectators. Over the past 18 years, it has also been refurbished as a concert hall, hosting stars such as Katy Perry in 2015. The three-story building has several lounges for relaxation and dining. It has many places to sit and grab a bite, from the cafe to the convenience store called “The Square” to vending machines. Additional food services may be available beyond normal sales during the Olympics. The second venue houses an Olympic-sized swimming pool used annually for the Japan Water Polo Championships. 
The second venue is not only a venue for events but also a fitness center for Tokyo residents. There is a gym, swimming pool, and dance room open to the public 7 days a week. A monthly pass is around 8,000 yen, and a day pass is around 2,500 yen. Finally, in the rear, there is a small athletics and football venue. It is open to the public and can also be rented for group activities such as futsal, soccer matches, or training.
