With a capacity of 24,000, Kumagaya Rugby Stadium is one of the smaller stadiums that will host games for the 2019 Rugby World Cup.
The ground will host group games involving Russia, Samoa, Georgia, Uruguay, Argentina and the USA.
Kumagaya is located in Saitama Prefecture, to the north of Tokyo. Kumagaya is the closest railway station – a journey of just over an hour on the limited express on the Shonan Shinjuku Line from Shinjuku Station. A one way journey costs ¥1,144.
