Sanga Stadium by KYOCERA (サンガスタジアム by KYOCERA)

Flow of the course

About this spot

Standing on the north side of JR Kameoka Station, this is the home stadium of Kyoto Sanga F.C. Having a building this large right outside the station is rare anywhere in Japan, and it has real impact for children even seen from outside. Sidewalks and open spaces are laid out around the stadium, so you can walk all the way around and feel just how big it is. Kamekita Sanga Hiroba is in the same area, so the fountain is a short walk from here. On match days the surroundings buzz with supporters, and you can feel the mood of the whole town change.

Tips

Check the official website in advance for tours inside the stadium and whether events are being held. On match days the area gets extremely crowded and the fountain plaza fills with people too, so if you want a quiet day of play it is safer to avoid the match schedule. There is little shade, so walk with a hat and drinks. Moving your body a little here and then changing into swimwear and heading to the fountain makes for a smooth flow.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour. It is right beside the fountain, so you can move into the afternoon with no travel burden.
