The first show by the band in this city since November 2002 on the X/Ten tour.

It was opened in October 1964 and originally built for use in the 1964 Summer Olympics as a Judo venue.
The venue name translates to Martial Arts Hall.
A long awaited return to Japan after a six year gap.
Whitesnake joined the tour again as special guests for these Japanese dates.
'C'mon C'mon', 'Nine Lives' and 'Rock On' making their live debuts in Japan.
