I’m currently in Japan with my uncle and we have no plans for Friday night. I used to play a game on my Sega Saturn called Victory Goal and my favorite team was always Yokohama Marinos. They have a match that night and the tickets aren’t bad prices. Do you think it would be worth it to go to the match? Thanks for the help guys!

Probably best atmosphere in Asia.
The support is like this https://youtu.be/JN0a1aqAauw?si=2a-YoW10NXN8KeD7
Why ask reddit when you can just take the plunge and try it out yourself?
It’s always worth going to try an unfamiliar football league - worst that happens is you still get to see a game of football!
This match is a gift to you. I have been to (almost) all the Marinos matches at home in the last 10 years and this is one of the most important matches. There are two matches to play and we need to win both to have a hope of winning the league this year. Kobe have to lose one (and preferably too).
The support will be amazing tonight. My recommendation is North/Home side, second floor. The first floor will probably be sold out.
Get there an hour or two before the match and enjoy food and drink outside and enjoy the atmosphere inside from 40 mins before kick off.
I’m originally from Kyoto, so I used to go to Sanga games all the time. It’s always a great atmosphere, people are friendly, and it’s safe. I can only compare it to the UK, but it’s definitely more family friendly, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything close to a fight breaking out (not saying there aren’t). Also a lot less abuse shouted at the players/ref, people are much more respectful.
I got a Kyoto Purple Sanga shirt as a gift from a mate who did exchange there when I was 20, absolutely awesome. Worn with pride many times!
I’m sure it happens every once in a while, but Japanese people don’t really fight like that. And nobody wants to go to Japanese jail.
Usually the atmosphere is good especially for a rivalry game. This is not a rivalry game but it’ll be fine. Also this is the stadium where they had the world cup final in 2002.
I went to a Marinos game over the summer and the home atmosphere was great, unfortunately there weren’t many away fans and they play in a big stadium so it was not filled but was still a great experience
Oriental atmosphere mostly
Baseball is a vibe in Japan (i went couple of years back), so I am sure football is similar.
Yes
One of the best. Take the opportunity and go.
I don’t have an answer to your question but I think you should go. It’ll be a new experience and how often do you get a chance to go watch a j league game? Might as well take this opportunity
It’s amazing
It’s currently 5:00 am est here in the US and I just saw that they’re playing right now. Did you end up going?
We decided to stay in Hiroshima for the night and do the memorial museum. The J League match would’ve been a blast but we felt it was right to stay and respect the victims of the bombing since we were in the city. We were thinking of maybe seeing the Kobe match tomorrow at 2:00.
