The rink gained a new name through naming rights. While maintaining its size, a new meeting space was created for use by ice hockey and figure skating teams. The aging refrigeration equipment, which was one of the reasons for the closure, has been replaced with new equipment, potentially reducing energy costs by about 40%. General use will begin on April 1st. Operating hours are from 12:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. <\/span><b>Source: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/kbc.co.jp\/news\/article.php?id=9898795&amp;ymd=2023-03-29\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KBC<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-152340\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/fnn_ovision-ice-arena_2023_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C1053&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ovision Ice Arena: Fukuoka\u2019s Skating Revival\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1053\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/fnn_ovision-ice-arena_2023_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/fnn_ovision-ice-arena_2023_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C226&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/fnn_ovision-ice-arena_2023_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C770&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/fnn_ovision-ice-arena_2023_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C578&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photo from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.papio.jp\/arena\/info_arena\/?p=113\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ovision Ice Arena official web<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
