Tips

  • Watch a variety of sporting events at this state-of-the-art stadium
  • Take a relaxing walk in the "Sora no Mori" garden on the fifth floor and enjoy the view of the city
  • The facility was specially designed to be accessible to all people regardless of age or disability

The stadium features wooden lattices and greenery that harmonizes with the nature of the connecting parks. While the special construction of the roof is pleasing to the eye, it also serves a functional purpose. Wind is channeled into the stadium to help circulate the air, carrying heat and moisture away from the field and spectators as a natural, eco-friendly form of climate control. The wooden eaves which surround the perimeter of the stadium use timber from each of Japan's 47 prefectures.

Accessible seating on every tier allows for everyone to be able to enjoy watching an event. The "Sora no Mori" garden on the fifth floor stretches around the entire stadium, offering a wide view of Tokyo. Even if there aren't any sporting events going on, the public garden allows any visitor to enjoy a stroll around this state-of-the-art facility.
