Tokyo's football home

Ajinomoto Stadium in Chofu, western Tokyo, is the shared home of FC Tokyo and Tokyo Verdy. The 49,970-seat venue hosts J-League matches, international fixtures, and concerts throughout the year.

Two clubs, two identities

FC Tokyo

The capital's primary J-League club, playing in blue and red. Known for attacking football and a growing international fanbase. The "Tamagawa Classico" derby against Kawasaki Frontale is one of J-League's fiercest rivalries.

Tokyo Verdy

One of Japan's oldest football clubs with a rich history from the original J-League era. The green-clad Verdy faithful bring a different but equally passionate atmosphere.

Getting there

Keio Line to Tobitakyu Station — 5-minute walk. From Shinjuku, the Keio Line takes about 25 minutes. The station-to-stadium walk is straightforward and well-signed on match days.

Seats and prices

Main stand: ¥4,000-5,500 ($27-37). Back stand: ¥3,000-4,000 ($20-27). Goal end (supporters): ¥2,000-3,000 ($13-20).

How to buy tickets

Available through FC Tokyo or Tokyo Verdy official sites and J-League ticket platform. The Tamagawa Classico and Verdy derbies sell out fastest.

Match-day food

The stadium's "sta-gru" (stadium gourmet) features local Chofu restaurants offering special match-day menus. Arrive early — the food stalls get crowded before kickoff.

Summary

Ajinomoto Stadium offers accessible J-League football just 25 minutes from Shinjuku. Two clubs, two cultures, one great venue.
