Traffic Information for Shonan Match (May 3rd)

We would like to inform you about transportation information for the 2024 Meiji Yasuda J1 League Matchday 11 against Shonan Bellmare, which will be held on Friday, May 3rd (holiday).

A large number of spectators are expected to attend this match. Each transportation service is also expected to be crowded, so if you plan to attend, please check the transportation information and allow plenty of time to arrive early, aiming for approximately two hours before kickoff (13:00).
Please refrain from unauthorized parking in surrounding commercial facilities or on the streets.

Please note that on the day of the match, new sidewalk construction is scheduled to take place on National Route 354 near Hokota City Fuda (between Koko Ohashi East Intersection and Okura Intersection). Alternating one-way traffic is expected in the surrounding area throughout the day. If you are coming by car mainly from Hokota, Tsuchiura, or Tsukuba, please use an alternative route.
