Predicted: 03 July, 2026 · 15:37

Japan have one win and four defeats in their last five, while Italy have two wins and three defeats, but also a much longer list of absences. The Azzurri are without Capuozzo, Nicotera, Ferrari, Negri, Page-Relo, Zilocchi, Zuliani and Todaro, and Japan rely on Dearns’ line and the speed of their home backs. The Italian scrum and the experience of Fischetti and Riccioni should bring the edge in the very final stages of the match.

Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium

Stadium
Capacity: 27,188

Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium is one of Tokyo’s distinctive sports venues and a place especially valued by rugby fans for its close connection to the pitch and clear sightlines. As a stadium dedicated to rugby, it delivers an authentic and focused atmosphere where attention stays on the action rather than unnecessary spectacle. That makes it an excellent choice for visitors who want a direct, memorable match-day experience.

Inside, the feeling is immediate and energetic, with stands that bring spectators close to the play and help build a strong game-day atmosphere. Visitors appreciate the good visibility from different sections, the practical entrance layout, and on-site food and drink points that make longer events more comfortable. This blend of sporting tradition, functionality, and urban character gives the venue lasting appeal.

Address: 2 Chome-8-35 Kita-Aoyama, Minato City, Tokyo, Japan. The easiest approach is on foot from Gaienmae Station, with a straightforward route leading toward the entrance area. On major event days, it is wise to plan the final approach in advance, as parking at the stadium is not typically the most convenient option. For broader transport context across the city, the text below provides a natural next step.

Frequently asked questions

What is the capacity of Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium?
Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium in Tokyo has an official capacity of 27,188 seats. This gives spectators a wide range of seating options, from premium tribunes near the floor to upper rows with panoramic views. The capacity places Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium among the more important venues for Nations Championship, and the atmosphere during big events depends on how full the lower home sectors are. Booking tickets early is recommended — the best-view sections sell out fastest.
Who is the home team?
The home team is Japan, hosting this match at Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium in Tokyo. Home fans traditionally shape match tempo, and Japan averages more points at home than away. The visiting side Italy faces the added challenge of travel and adaptation, which in elite competitions often means preparation without rest days between matches. Home-team status here also means the choice of dressing room and first warm-up access.
When is the match played?
The event is scheduled for Saturday, 4 July 2026 at 5:40 PM local time in Tokyo. The local start may differ from your time zone — being near the venue two hours before start is recommended for security checks and getting your bearings. Doors typically open 60 to 90 minutes before the start. If you're traveling from abroad, factor in arrival time given local public transport and possible congestion.
How much does a ticket cost?
Starting ticket prices for this match are shown with selected partners and may change depending on availability, sector, seat category, demand, currency and possible fees.
