Yoyogi National Gymnasium (国立代々木競技場) is an Arena in Yoyogi Park , Tokyo , Japan famous for its Suspension Roof design. It was designed by Kenzo Tange and built between 1961 and 1964 to house Swimming and Diving events in the 1964 Summer Olympics . The design inspired Frei Otto 's arena designs for the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich . The arena holds 10,500 people and is now primarily used for Ice Hockey and Basketball . In October 1997, the NHL opened its season at the arena with the Vancouver Canucks taking on the Anaheim Mighty Ducks in two matches . The following season the San Jose Sharks played the Calgary Flames in two games also to open the 1998-99 NHL season . Harajuku Station is nearby. |
