The stadium is named for Japan Institute of Sports Sciences, which administers it and is not actually the national stadium; that role is taken by the Tokyo National Stadium in Shinjuku.
The Ajinomoto Field Nishigaoka currently has a capacity of 7,137 [3] and was the home stadium of former J3 League club FC Tokyo U-23, until its dissolution.
Also, some matches hosted at the stadium involve Japanese youth national teams and Tokyo Verdy's matches.
Transportation
Access to the stadium is from Motohasunuma Station on the Toei Mita Line.
