Yokkaichi Velodromeis located in Kasumigaura Green Park. In front of the racecourse is the Yokkaichi Dome, and nearby is a baseball stadium.
The coast of the Yokkaichi Dome is also a night view spot of the Yokkaichi industrial complex.
Getting to the Stadium
If you are planning to stay overnight to watch the game, Nagoya will be the base station for most people. For this reason, here is a guide on how to get there from Nagoya.
On event days, a free shuttle bus will be available from JR Yokkaichi Station and Kintetsu Yokkaichi Station. Please check the official website for service times.
JR Tomidahama Station (Nearest station to the venue)
Take the Kansai Main Line from JR Nagoya Station and arrive at Tomidahama Station in about 40 minutes. From Kintetsu Yokkaichi Station, it will take about 10 minutes to walk to the park, but from there to each venue, you will have to walk because the park itself is shaped like a longitudinal section.
On a good day, this is not a problem, but on a not-so-good day, walking may be somewhat difficult.
