Development Plan for the Kawasaki Station Area as a Regional Hub
Kawasaki City has positioned the area around Kawasaki Station as a "wide-area hub" and is systematically promoting urban development that is appropriate for the gateway to Kawasaki, taking advantage of its geographical advantages such as its direct connection to Haneda Airport.
In May 2024, Kawasaki City compiled the "Progress and Direction of Project Guidance for the Keikyu Kawasaki Station Area Urban Development," which outlines the direction of urban development for the integrated and strategic development and utilization of the Keikyu Kawasaki Station area.

Arena City Project," the annual economic ripple effect after the completion of the facility is estimated to be approximately 127.37 billion yen, calculated with the help of EconomicEffect.NET, based on the estimated scale and composition of uses for the main arena and commercial buildings.
Main factors of the economic ripple effect
- Approximately 40 home games (including CS, etc.) of the Kawasaki Brave Thunders in the B.LEAGUE 2028-29 season (scheduled to open in October 2028)

It is also expected to have a multifaceted positive impact on the local economy, including the creation of new jobs and increased tax revenues. Of particular importance is the fact that the stable holding of events throughout the year is expected to generate ongoing, rather than transitory, economic benefits.
International Expansion Utilizing Good Accessibility to Haneda Airport
The excellent accessibility of Keikyu Kawasaki Station to Haneda Airport, which is a minimum of 13 minutes from the station, is a key factor in the international expansion of the "Kawasaki New! Arena City Project" will be a major strength in its international expansion.
Advantages of proximity to Haneda Airport

Nurturing the next generation and creating educational opportunities
Provide opportunities for children and youth to experience and participate in top-level sports and arts. Contribute to the development of the next generation of athletes, artists, and creators and the creation of diverse educational opportunities.
The "open to the world" perspective implies a two-way relationship, embracing international culture while at the same time transmitting Kawasaki-born culture to the rest of the world. It is hoped that Kawasaki will increase its cultural richness through exchanges with artists, athletes, and creators from abroad.
In addition, the "Kawasaki New! Arena City Project," the entire Kawasaki Station area has the potential to develop into a cultural and creative district as cultural facilities and activities expand into the surrounding area.
Summary: An important project that will shape the future of Kawasaki City
Kawasaki New! Arena City Project" is steadily progressing as an important project that will shape the future of Kawasaki City, although there have been some changes in plans, such as the postponement of the opening date. The entertainment complex, centering on the main arena with a capacity of up to 15,000 people and a 17-story commercial building, is estimated to have an annual economic ripple effect of approximately 127.3 billion yen after completion.
The project is also planned to contribute to the enhancement of the sports and cultural environment of Kawasaki City as a whole, in coordination with the development of related facilities such as the "New Todoroki Arena" in Todoroki Greenbelt. The Kawasaki Brave Thunders will join the B.LEAGUE PREMIER in the 2026-27 season, and will gradually shift its home arena as it works to develop the team and revitalize the community.
Under the concept of "Kawasaki, new, like Kawasaki," the creation of an entertainment center "open to the world" with an international perspective while taking advantage of local characteristics is an important part of Kawasaki City's urban strategy. It is also expected to play a role as a new cultural and creative center for Kawasaki, taking advantage of its easy access from Haneda Airport.
Currently, a limited-time park called "Kawasaki Spark" has been established, and even before construction, the project has already begun to interact with the local community and create new cultural activities. This step-by-step approach is expected to help the arena smoothly integrate into the community after its completion and become a facility that will be loved by the public.
Future Prospects for the Kawasaki Station Arena Redevelopment
Kawasaki New! Arena City Project" and the "New Todoroki Arena" are expected to complement each other and greatly enhance the sports and cultural environment of Kawasaki City. With these facilities at its core, Kawasaki City as a whole will further develop and enhance its international presence.
As we move toward the opening of the new arena in 2030, we anticipate that the progress of the plan and detailed information will continue to be released as needed. We will continue to keep a close eye on the project.
