Japan's largest football-specific stadium
Saitama Stadium 2002 holds 63,700 fans — the largest football-specific stadium in Japan. Built for the 2002 FIFA World Cup, it's now the fortress of the Urawa Reds, who boast J-League's most passionate supporter base.
Best for atmosphere: North end (Urawa supporters)
Price: ¥2,000-3,000 ($13-20). This is J-League's most famous supporter section. Thousands of Urawa fans creating a wall of sound with coordinated chanting, giant banners, and tifo displays. One of Asia's greatest football atmospheres. Newcomers are welcome — just follow the crowd.
Best views: Main stand reserved
Price: ¥4,500-6,500 ($30-43). The classic football-watching seat. Same angle as TV coverage, with a full view of both halves. Comfortable and easy to follow tactics.
Best value: Back stand
Price: ¥3,000-4,500 ($20-30). Opposite the main stand, slightly cheaper but still excellent views. A great option for budget-conscious visitors.
South end (away supporters)
The visiting team's section. If you're supporting the away team, this is your designated area.
Getting there
Saitama Rapid Railway to Urawa-Misono Station, 15-minute walk. About 50 minutes from Tokyo Station.
