Asty Tokushima (アスティとくしま) or the Tokushima Industry and Tourism Exchange Center (徳島県立産業観光交流センター, Tokushima Kenritsu Sangyō Kankō Kōryū Sentā) is an indoor arena and conference venue in Tokushima, Tokushima, Japan. The arena opened in 1993.
"ASTY" in the venue's name is an acronym which stands for "Attractive Space in Tokushima Yamashiro".[2]
Notable sports events hosted by the arena include the official 2007 Asian Basketball Championship.
Construction
[edit]Asty Tokushima was constructed for three years, from July 1991 until September 1993. It was opened on October 20, 1993.[1]
