About Egao Kenko Stadium

Welcome to Egao Kenko Stadium, Kumamoto’s premier multi-purpose arena that hosts football, rugby, athletics, and big-event showcases. Opened in 1998 as Kumamoto Athletics Stadium, later named Umakana-Yokana Stadium, and rebranded to Egao Kenko Stadium in 2017, this venue remains a central hub for sports and community events in Kumamoto City. With an official capacity near 32,000 and rugby seating of 30,228, the stadium offers a versatile layout for a variety of sports and performances.

Whether you’re attending a Roasso Kumamoto match (J2), a Top League rugby game, or an athletics meet, we’ve got you covered with practical tips on seating, parking, transit, and nearby accommodations and dining. Think of us as your friendly connection to secure seats smoothly and enjoy a hassle-free event experience.

Plan ahead for on-site parking, which is limited on busy days. We recommend utilizing event-day shuttle services or public transit when possible. The stadium is accessible via JR Kyushu’s Hohi Main Line, with various transit options serving Kumamoto City. For visitors seeking convenient stays, nearby hotels like Hotel Nikko Kumamoto and The Blossom Kumamoto offer comfortable options within easy reach of Kumamoto Station and central amenities. We’ve highlighted trusted partner hotels and restaurants in the area to help you maximize your visit while keeping preparation simple and straightforward.
