Komaba Stadium was the home of the Urawa Reds from the birth of the J-League until the construction of Saitama Stadium, which sent supporters into a frenzy.
After the completion of Saitama Stadium, many of the games hosted by the team have been held at Saitama Stadium.
Currently, the Urawa Reds Ladies host matches there.
Getting to the Stadium
It is about a 15-minute walk from the east exit of JR Urawa Station (Keihin-Tohoku Line, Takasaki Line, Utsunomiya Line, etc.).
It is also about a 15-minute walk from the east exit of JR Kita-Urawa Station (Keihin-Tohoku Line).
Unless the weather is really bad, the best way to get to the stadium is to walk from the nearest station.
