Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium Tokyo
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 4. July 2026 at 11:00 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?
Tickets for this match start at Check price via Viagogo and other verified partners. The exact price depends on the sector, seat category (away, neutral, home, premium box) and demand, which rises closer to match day. Prices are in euros and include platform fees and mandatory buyer protection. The cheapest tickets are usually in upper away sectors, while premium box prices can be several times higher.
How do I buy tickets through Karlobag.eu?
Clicking the 'Buy tickets' button redirects you to our partner Viagogo where you safely complete the purchase. Karlobag.eu is not a ticket seller — we aggregate offers from verified partners and help you find the best price.

Can I cancel or resell my ticket?
Cancellation policy depends on the partner where you bought your ticket. Viagogo offers an authenticity guarantee — if the ticket doesn't arrive on time or isn't valid, you get a full refund. Cancelling regular tickets isn't permitted. Resale is only possible if the partner explicitly allows it. Check the terms before purchasing.
How do I get to Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium?

We recommend arriving at least 60 minutes before the start. Detailed information about the location, nearest airport and hotels nearby is available in the venue section on this page.
What happens if the match is postponed or cancelled?
In case of postponement (weather, security reasons), tickets typically remain valid for the new date that the organiser announces later. If the match is cancelled entirely without rescheduling, Viagogo issues a refund per their policy (usually within 7-14 days). Check status directly with the seller — they notify you by email as soon as the decision is known.
Are the tickets authentic?
Yes, all tickets sold via the verified partners we work with (Viagogo, SportEvents365, Ticombo, StubHub and others) come with an authenticity guarantee and refund if the ticket isn't valid. If a ticket isn't authentic, doesn't arrive on time or is refused at the gate, the partner covers a full refund under their terms. We work exclusively with licensed resellers operating in accordance with European ticket purchase regulations.
How do I receive my ticket after purchase?
Most tickets today are electronic — they arrive by email as a PDF or as a mobile ticket saved in your digital wallet. For purchases more than 7 days before the match, the ticket usually arrives within 24-48 hours of payment, while last-minute purchases often arrive within a few hours. Physical tickets are sent by courier when the partner explicitly indicates this. If you don't receive your ticket in time, contact partner support (Viagogo) via your customer account.
