VOLLEYBALL
Tokyo hosts the FIVB World Cup, volleyball's
top international tournament
, every single time it's held. It's on a four-
year loop, with the next tournaments set to take place in 2015 and 2019; they take place at the Tokyo Metropolitan
Gymnasium (see p.110), usually in November. Tickets are pretty easy to buy on the door. The arena hosts many other
smaller events in addition to the World Cup.
