Japan has a long history of soccer, but since the establishment of the J-League, the number of soccer-specific stadiums has increased. The fascination of soccer-specific stadiums lies in the proximity between supporters, players, and the pitch so that you can feel the intensity of the game.
Both Chiba Prefecture teams, JEF United Ichihara/Chiba and Kashiwa Reysol, have soccer-specific stadiums as their home stadiums.
