Aoba Arena (Aoba Gymnasium) Monument

Sendai, Miyagi, Japan

A Haikyu!! monument marking the series' appointment as a Sendai tourism ambassador was installed in front of the Aoba Gymnasium on August 14th, 2025. It shows Oikawa Tooru and Iwaizumi Hajime, the two Aoba Josai High School players who stand between Karasuno and the national tournament. The monument is outside the building, so you can see it without going in or buying anything.

Please be a considerate guest: keep your voice down, keep paths clear and leave the place as you found it.
