Fanzone in Saitama/Kumagaya

Key Features

  • Since 1991, the city has been actively promoting its urban renewal efforts under the banner of “Rugby Town Kumagaya.”
  • The Fanzone will be conveniently located in the city centre, only an 8-minute walk from the nearest station (with shuttle bus service also available).
  • The spectators will get to experience the annual “Uchiwa Festival,” featuring such elements of Japanese culture as traditional floats, lanterns and flags.

*The “Uchiwa Festival” attracts almost 750,000 visitors every year and is referred to as the number-one Gion Festival in all of the Kanto area.  The streets come alive with the lights of the festival floats and the street vendors, and with the music drifting through the air, it truly is a mesmerising sight to behold.
