Sano City Sports Park Athletic Stadium is located in the Sano City Sports Park.
Sano City Sports Park is a park with a gymnasium, track and field, baseball field, and a roller coaster for children.
The 22nd All Japan Women's Soccer Championship Tournament has been held here in the past (as an alternative venue due to the fact that the tournament could not be held at another venue in a hurry).
Getting to the Stadium
The venue is accessible by car.
Sano and Ashikaga are close to each other, so you can watch the game in Sano and go sightseeing in Ashikaga.
If you are coming from the Kanetsu Expressway, the Ashikaga Interchange is an easy way to get to Sano City Sports Park.
