"ARENA INSIDE" is a gift shop with a unique interior inspired by the artists' dressing room, the "Green Room," located backstage at the Inspire Arena.
Inside, live footage from concerts actually held at Inspire and program schedules are displayed, recreating the makeup room found in an artist's dressing room. The photo area allows visitors to experience the atmosphere as if they've stepped into the dressing room of their favorite artist.

Special discount tickets for concerts will also be sold on the day of the event. Furthermore, a binocular rental service for arena visitors is planned to launch soon.
