Tochigi City Sports Park Athletic Stadium in Tochigi City, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. The stadium was once home to Tochigi SC of the J-League, and is now the home of Tochigi City Football Club, a prospective J-League member.
The park is also home to Tochigi City Sports Park Athletic Stadium, baseball field, and Tochigi City Gymnasium, making it a large park.
Getting to the Stadium
The stadium is conveniently accessible by car.
However, parking seems to be scarce, and the park's website recommends coming by public transportation on event days.
For parking on event days, please check with the event organizer's website.
By train, Shin-Tochigi Station, where the Tobu-Utsunomiya and Tobu-Nikko lines run, is a walkable distance if you work hard.
It's about 2.5 km, but there are Aeon and Cocos restaurants along the way, so you can walk between the stadium and the station while taking a break depending on the time of the train and the start of the game.
Tochigi Station is not a practical place to walk to the stadium.
If you want to access the stadium from Tochigi Station, the Fureai Bus runs to the area around the stadium.
You may be able to use it if the time of the game is during the day.
