Ookini Arena Maishima
Home of the Osaka Evessa, this 5,000-seat arena is located in the Maishima area of Osaka — the same district as Universal Studios Japan. It's a fun addition to any Osaka itinerary.
Getting there
JR Yumesaki Line to Sakurajima Station, then bus for about 15 minutes. If you're visiting USJ, the arena is just a short bus ride away.
Osaka food after the game
Head to Namba or Umeda after the game for Osaka's legendary street food. Takoyaki (octopus balls), okonomiyaki (savory pancake), and kushikatsu (deep-fried skewers) are all available late into the night.
Combining with USJ
Universal Studios Japan in the morning, basketball in the evening — it's a full day of entertainment that only Osaka can offer. Both are in the same area, making logistics simple.
Summary
Ookini Arena is the perfect add-on to an Osaka visit, especially if you're already in the USJ area. Basketball, theme parks, and street food in one day.
