💡 Insider Tips
🚌 Getting Around
It’s about a 20-minute walk from the east exit of JR Joban Line/Tobu Noda Line’s Kashiwa station along “Reysol Road” (a route where you’ll often pass supporters in yellow jerseys). Taking the Tobu Bus to Midorigaoka or Hitachidai and walking 1 minute is another option. There’s no stadium parking, so public transport is essentially required.
🏨 Lodging
Za Crest Hotel Kashiwa and Sotetsu Fresa Inn Chiba-Kashiwa (4-minute walk) are both a 1–2 minute walk from Kashiwa station.
🎟️ Tickets
All J.League home tickets fall under anti-scalping law, requiring buyer identity verification — foreign visitors are safer bringing a passport or other ID.
🎁 Club Perks — a Korean player connection
Yoo Sang-chul transferred to Kashiwa Reysol in 2001 for a $1 million fee and played alongside Hwang Sun-hong and Hong Myung-bo as the “Korean trio,” and Park Dong-hyuk, who joined in 2009, wore Yoo’s former No. 6 and served as the team’s spiritual leader, as the club officially describes him.
💡 Insider Tips
A yakitori shop called “Toriyoshi” operates on the main stand concourse on gamedays, and with only 15,109 seats — small by J.League standards — the stadium is known for feeling close to the pitch with concentrated energy.
