MUFG Stadium is Japan’s landmark national stadium and a striking example of contemporary architecture shaped by traditional influences. Designed by architect Kengo Kuma, it is distinguished by its layered roof, extensive greenery and wooden details made with materials sourced from all of Japan’s prefectures. With a capacity of approximately 67,750 spectators, the stadium accommodates major athletics competitions, football and rugby matches, concerts and other international events.
The three-tier seating bowl provides clear views of the field and creates a powerful atmosphere as crowd noise travels around the stands. Seats in nature-inspired shades, spacious concourses, accessible facilities and event-specific food and drink outlets contribute to a comfortable visitor experience. Broad eaves and open sections of the structure encourage natural airflow while visually connecting the monumental venue with the surrounding greenery.
The stadium is located at 10-1 Kasumigaokamachi, Shinjuku City, Tokyo, Japan. The closest access point is Kokuritsu-kyogijo Station on the Toei Oedo Line, with Exit A2 approximately one minute on foot from the stadium, while Sendagaya and Shinanomachi stations are about a five-minute walk away. Stadium parking is not available to general visitors without specific authorisation, making rail and subway services the most practical choices; broader transport options across Tokyo are covered further down the page.
