History

Located in the Hamaotsu A-Qus complex, Sega Arena Hamaotsu was the second Sega Arena venue, opening a year after Sega Arena Padou. It originally made use of a festival theme and contained 200 coin-operated amusement machines and a number of attractions,^[1] including Aqua Nova.^[3]

Like much of the other Sega Arena complexes, parts of the centre's original theming and attractions were later removed during the 2000s, with it instead operating as a game centre until its closure in March 2014. Some of its former space was redeveloped to become a Round 1 bowling alley and game centre by October of the same year.^[4]
