Korakuen Hall
Korakuen Hall (Japanese: 後楽園ホール, Hepburn: Kōrakuen Hōru) is an arena in Bunkyo, Tokyo, Japan, which has hosted many boxing, professional wrestling, kickboxing, mixed martial arts and Lethwei matches. The hall is inside the Tokyo Dome City, it is one of Tokyo's biggest attractions. It opened on April 16, 1962, and has a capacity of approximately 2,005 people. The venue hosted the boxing events for the 1964 Summer Olympics. In the area of pro wrestling, it is considered the Madison Square Garden of puroresu, as all of Japan's largest promotions have run some of their larger shows there, much akin to the WWF/E's monthly show at MSG in the 1980s. In March 2011, as the hall suffered structural damage under the influence of the Tōhoku earthquake, the events scheduled for the time being, including WBC triple female world title fight, were postponed or canceled. The repair work was completed on March 18. The Hall was closed until the next day, then gradually resumed a variety of events.On October 27, 2016, the hall became the chosen venue for the International Lethwei Federation Japan. The Lethwei Grand Prix Japan 2016 was the first event of the promotion held at the venue.
