"Salonpas Arena", a new practice base for Hisamitsu Springs of Volleyball V League Women's Division 1 (V1), was completed on the 10th in Tosu City, Saga Prefecture. On the day the opening ceremony was held, an exhibition match was held in the form of an intra-squad competition between players. Yuki Ishii (32) and Mana Toe (28), who retired from active duty for the 2022-23 season, also played with a relaxed expression. Miyu Nagaoka (31), who has returned to the Japan women's national team for the first time in two years and is participating in a domestic training camp in Satsumasendai City, Kagoshima Prefecture, also participated in the exhibition match. She was happily chasing the ball on the same team as Ishii.
Captain Riho Otake (29) said, "The court is made of Taraflex (floor material) (which has better shock absorption than wooden floor material) and the ceiling is high, making it easy to work. The parts are in order, and I can't wait for the next season," he said.
With the training base moving from Kobe City to Tosu City, the areas where players and staff live will also change. “We have started moving,” said Otake. “From now on, I want to learn more about Tosu. (Kenichi Nishiguchi)
