The venue is 2.3 kilometers (1.42 miles) long, boasts nine 2-kilometer lanes, and can hold up to 16,000 spectators. Around ¥30.8 billion (US$284 million) was spent on the project. Following the 2020 Tokyo Games, the course will be used for other rowing and canoe competitions, so it's money well spent for Tokyo's future.
