Kawasaki Fujimi Stadium, American football stadium in Kawasaki-ku, Japan
Kawasaki Fujimi Stadium is a sports venue in Kawasaki-ku designed for 2,700 spectators with an artificial turf surface. The facility supports year-round play with equipment and conditions suitable for American football.
The facility was constructed in 2001 on a site that previously hosted professional baseball from 1952 until its closure in 1998. This transformation marked a shift in the venue's sporting purpose.
The venue hosts the Fujitsu Frontiers and demonstrates how American football has found its place in Japanese sports culture. Spectators gather here to watch a sport that remains relatively new to the region.
The stadium sits about 15 minutes' walk from JR Kawasaki Station, making it easily accessible by train. Direct rail connections to Tokyo and surrounding areas simplify getting there.
The conversion from a baseball venue to an American football stadium was a first of its kind in Japan. This transformation shows how traditional sports grounds can adapt to new sports.
