The Toda Rowing Course (
While the Toda course is able to accommodate standard Olympic length 2 kilometre rowing races, the starting 500m section of course is closed off on non regatta days for power boat racing.[1]
The course is located on an embankment of the Arakawa River in Saitama Prefecture near Tokyo. A number of Tokyo-based universities and corporate teams own and maintain their own boat houses on the north bank of the waterway. The course is the venue for annual races between numerous school and university teams including long established rivalries between Kaisei Academy and Otsuka, University of Tsukuba High School and the Keio Waseda regatta held each spring.
