Awesome stadium! Me and my brother watched Japan vs Saudi Arabia in a FIFA qualifier match. They let you bring beers in if if you pour it into their cups and the drinks inside don't cost much anyways. Bathrooms were good and never had that long a wait. The stadium is huge and the people were all very nice and helpful!
I didn't realize though that when getting tickets for behind the goal all the seating is open seating. You don't have an actual seat you just bran what you can. If I had known that we would have gotten to the stadium earlier. We were walking around the town thinking we had specific seats lol but hey no biggie just get their earlier if you want a closer seat.
Amazing atmosphere (for the home team ofc) Urawa red diamonds vs FC Tokyo
Get food and drinks outside of the gate. There are no vending machines once you clear security. Water that costs 100 yen outside jumps to about 300 once you are at your seat. Everyone clears out about 5 minutes before the whistle and makes straight for the train station. Be prepared to get stuck in queues exiting when it's a packed match.
The huge soccer stadium has over 60,000 seats and is the home stadium of the Japan national team.
It takes about 30 minutes from the city center of Tokyo to Urawa-Misono, the nearest station.
And then it needed to walk 20 minutes from the station to the stadium.
It gets very crowded after matches.
The atmosphere inside the stadium was one of the best I have ever experienced in Japan!
