Getting to the Stadium

You can rent a car, visit the camp at Soccer Park Akanma, and then go to Kabira Bay via the Yaeyama palm community.
By Bus
The Azuma Bus route bus runs from the bus terminal near the remote island terminal to the Soccer Park Akanma via Kawahira Park, but it may take quite a while.
About the Stadium
Soccer Park Akanma is not a stadium but a ground.
Since we would be watching the game on the ground, there was no roof or any other area to protect us from the sun or rain. It would be a good idea to take sunscreen precautions at the park.
