Nippon Budokan
The Nippon Budokan (日本武道館 Nippon Budōkan), often just simply called the "Budokan", is a real indoor arena inside the Kitanomaru Park, which is part of the Chiyoda Ward of Tokyo. Its name translates to "Japan Martial Arts Hall", but is also used for other sport competitions and music concerts. It regularly appears in the works by Gosho Aoyama.
