Japanese architect Kengo Kuma designed the stadium to include a layer on the roof that would allow the inflow of wind to help cool down the stadium. 185 large fans have also been placed around the stadium along with cooling mist emitters.
The stadium was designed to compliment Japanese tradition with a focus on nature. In order to achieve this, 200 cubic meters f ceder wood were used during construction .
The idea of the layered roof was inspired by  the 1,300 year old pagoda at Horyuji temple in western Nara which is the oldest wooden building in the world standing at 5 storeys high.
