Volleyball in historic Hiroshima
The JT Thunders Hiroshima represent one of Japan's most meaningful cities. Playing at the Hiroshima Green Arena in the city center, they offer tourists the chance to combine professional volleyball with Hiroshima's profound historical sites and incredible cuisine.
Why watch the Thunders
Power and serving
The JT Thunders field tall, powerful players whose spikes and jump serves are among the most impressive in SV.League. The raw athleticism is thrilling to witness live.
Growing local support
Hiroshima is a proud sports city (home to Sanfrecce Hiroshima in football and the Hiroshima Carp in baseball). The Thunders are building a passionate volleyball fanbase as the city's third major professional team.
Hiroshima Green Arena
The Hiroshima Prefectural Sports Center (Green Arena) seats approximately 10,000 and is located in central Hiroshima, within walking distance of the Peace Memorial Park. An easy venue to access and a great setting for volleyball.
Hiroshima: Must-visit destination
The Peace Memorial Park and Museum are essential visits. Miyajima Island (famous floating torii gate) is a short ferry ride away. And Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki — layered with noodles, cabbage, and egg — is one of Japan's greatest street foods.
How to buy tickets
Available through the JT Thunders official site and SV.League ticket platform. The large venue means tickets are generally available, even for popular matchups.
