"THE FIRST SLAM DUNK 'COURT' in KOBE" will open at GLION ARENA KOBE from October 13 (Monday, National Holiday) to October 26 (Sunday), 2025. This marks the first time western Japan hosts an exhibition event commemorating the nationwide re-release of the film "THE FIRST SLAM DUNK." Lottery reservations for the collaboration café began on September 27 (Saturday) via the official TOTTEI KOBE app. The exhibition can be visited without reservation (admission free), separately from the café booking.
① Event Exhibition & Original Merchandise Sales <COURT & LOCKER ROOM>
The exhibition takes place at "Digi-Ara BASE -THE NEST OF STORKS-" on the 1st floor in front of GLION ARENA KOBE.
The venue, typically used as a practice space (sub-arena) for professional basketball teams and youth teams, transforms into the world of "THE FIRST SLAM DUNK" for a limited time. Admission is free with no reservation required, though same-day numbered tickets may be distributed during busy periods.
At the entrance, visual boards crafted from reused gymnasium flooring materials welcome visitors. The venue showcases uniform displays for both Shohoku High School and Sannoh Technical High School teams, large-screen video presentations, a "NO.1 Guard" stamp corner, and a basketball court adorned with large banners featuring players from both schools. This immersive space allows visitors to experience shooting from the iconic right 45-degree angle, recreating the intensity of the "Shohoku vs. Sannoh" match from the film.
The "LOCKER ROOM" area recreates the players' pre-game locker room atmosphere, displaying and selling various merchandise including new 2025 theatrical products. Additional details will be announced closer to the event date.

About TOTTEI
"TOTTEI" is the area nickname for Shinko Dai-2 Pier, centered around the Kansai region's largest arena, "GLION ARENA KOBE" with a 10,000-person capacity. The name inherits "Pier" (突堤/tottei), honoring over 100 years of Kobe's port development. It represents a commitment to continuing the area's historical role as a hub of cultural exchange, now through entertainment. Born in the 30th anniversary year of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, TOTTEI connects the port's "tradition and innovation," delivering memorable experiences to visitors.
The area features a daily-use restaurant zone and the symbolic "TOTTEI PARK" on the arena's south side, offering panoramic views spanning Mount Rokko to Kobe Port—making it a year-round destination spot.
