Kumagaya Rugby Stadium, built in 1991, is very popular with Japanese rugby fans as it is one of the few stadiums in the country that was built exclusively for rugby. The stadium was completely renovated ahead of the 2019 Rugby World Cup, making it a world-class international rugby venue.
The recent changes to the stadium seating give spectators an even better view of the game. The stadium's capacity was expanded from 20,000 (10,000 seats) to 24,000 people (full seating).
It is the main rugby stadium in Saitama Prefecture and is the home of the top league club Panasonic Wild Knights. It is also used for university league games and sometimes other top league games.
La ville de Gyoda est située dans le nord de la préfecture de Saitama et est connue pour son château historique d’Oshi dit "château flottant", construit en 1490. La région a été représentée dans un film sorti en 2012 (titre original: "Nobou-no-shiro"), qui racontait l'histoire du siège du château d'Oshi et son chef, Nagachika Narita.
