Exceptional train connectivity: located right outside Seibu-Kyūjō-mae Station on the Seibu Sayama/Yamaguch Lines (around 40 minutes from Ikebukuro or Shinjuku). Ample parking available across the Belluna Dome complex grounds.
Extremely popular on November and December weekends when Tokyo skiers rush for pre-season tune-ups before natural mountain resorts open.
