This stadium was built in an area that sustained serious damage from the tsunami that occurred during the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011.
It was used as one of the venues for the Rugby World Cup 2019, and became a hot topic.
Kamaishi City applied to host the Rugby World Cup 2019 in Japan, the first
tournament to be held in Asia, in 2019, as a symbol of the city's recovery,
and to give hope, courage, and dreams to the children who will lead the
future. Kamaishi was the only city among the 12 host cities in Japan that
did not have a stadium, so it built the stadium on the site of a damaged
elementary and junior high school, creating a sports park with the aim
of recovering from the Great East Japan Earthquake. |
