I happened to encounter the Japanese Super Cup when I was traveling, so I bought a flight ticket and bought the ticket online and picked it up at 7-11 (about 5 minutes). There is a parking lot near the stadium, so it is easy to park. There were 50,000 people entering the stadium that day, so it was not too crowded when leaving. The Japanese national team also plays in this stadium from time to time. If you like watching football, don't miss it. The stadium has a running track, so the seats are farther away from the stadium. The atmosphere in Japanese football matches is very good, with fans of both the home and away teams constantly cheering for their teams, and the atmosphere is no worse than that of European football. #Overseas travel#travel#Good places in the suburbs

This is where the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics will be held✨ The excitement comes back to me✨ During the Olympics, it was crowded with police inspectors and tourists, but now it's quiet It's used for concerts and other events 📍Right in front of Sendagaya Station

New National Stadium. I went to the new "New National Stadium" with the opening of the Tokyo Olympics. Zaha Hadid's design was initially selected in the competition, but Kengo Kuma's design was ultimately adopted. The façade and roof of the New National Stadium, which uses a lot of wood, a characteristic of Kengo Kuma, are the symbol of the New National Stadium. I wondered what would have happened if Zaha's design had been adopted, but it was a very exciting time, including the soccer game that day! Just looking at the exterior is fun enough. By the way, on this day Paris Saint-Germain came to Japan and played a game against Kawasaki Frontale, and the number of visitors was the highest since the New National Stadium was completed. About 65,000 people. #NewNational Stadium #NewNationalStadium #ParisSaintGermain #KawasakiFrontale #KengoKuma #ZahaHadid

I went to the new National Stadium, which was renovated for the Olympics. The event was soccer⚽️ "Japan🇯🇵 vs Brazil🇧🇷". It's been 20 years since the 2002 Japan-Korea World Cup that the Brazilian team came to Japan! The event was very popular, and tickets sold out in an instant after going on sale! I was lucky to get tickets this time and went. The stadium was full, with about 68,000 spectators, and the atmosphere was great. The game was close and interesting, and Brazil won 0-1 with a penalty kick from Neymar. I hope the Japanese team does their best in the Qatar World Cup. #Tokyo

We walked along the skyline of the New National Stadium and arrived at the station. On the way, we enjoyed a walk under the refreshing spring sunshine, with the Shinjuku buildings and the Skytree in the distance. When we went down the stairs and looked back, there was the large New National Stadium. #photogenic spot #recommended for a date #gw2022jp

I took a walk around the open area of ​​the New National Stadium. From the skyline on the top floor of the open area, you can get a panoramic view of Tokyo's cityscape. Especially on a sunny day like today, you can get a clear view all the way to the Shinjuku buildings. It's a view that seems like something out of a Makoto Shinkai film. #gw2022jp #photogenic #recommendedfordates

I went to the Tokyo National Stadium to watch the match of Oita Trinita, the soccer team from my beloved hometown of Oita. It was the first time that a Kyushu J-League team had advanced to the finals of the historic Emperor's Cup, which decides the best team in Japan. When I heard the Emperor's Cup anthem, I got goosebumps and it was a truly moving moment. "Listening to the national anthem with my beloved team at the National Stadium." I never thought this would be so special... I'm sure it won't happen that often in a lifetime. I was just happy to be able to witness such a moment. Although they lost, I would like to give my greatest praise to the players of Oita and Urawa for giving dreams to many soccer fans and playing such a dramatic finale. Thank you Trinita. Thank you Coach Katanozaka. #Tokyo #NewNationalStadium

The view from the National Stadium

I went to Totopa, which just opened in March 2024! It's in a quiet place for a city center. I went there because it was ranked #1 in Sauna Cheran 2024. This time, I met up with a colleague at Starbucks and visited for the first time! The view of the National Stadium is beautiful and relaxing. After entering the store, I was happy to be able to warm up my body in the bathtub after cleaning my body in the shower! The sauna was hot and I was very satisfied with the loyly. The balance with humidity was just right! The relaxation space has a semi-outdoor bath, and it's also nice that it has an infinity chair! The amenities are also solid, and it's attractive that you don't have to bring any skin care products! ! It's a good sauna that I'll definitely return to.

⚽️ from the Japan vs Uruguay match at the National Stadium in March We all came together and shouted loudly, and it was a lot of fun! I love watching soccer, so I go to a lot of soccer stadiums, but by far I love the National Stadium! First of all, even if it's crowded on the way back, there are many nearby stations, so the chances of getting stuck are low! And above all, even if it rains, the structure is designed to keep you from getting wet☔️ In fact, it started raining halfway through the match that day, but I was able to enjoy watching the game without getting wet! Actually, I'm planning to watch a game at the National Stadium on New Year's Day, so I'm really looking forward to it😊 #PR #National Stadium #Soccer #Watching Soccer #Sendagaya #Tokyo Tourism
