The Izu Velodrome is a velodrome in Izu, Shizuoka, Japan. It has a 250-metre cycling track and spectator facilities for 3,600 people.[1] It was opened in 2011,[2] and was selected as the venue to host the track cycling events at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.[3][4] It is the only indoor 250-metre velodrome with a wooden timber surface in Japan, as other velodromes in Japan are outdoors that are longer than 250-metres and with asphalt surfaces, dedicated largely for keirin.[5]
