Kintetsu Hanazono Rugby Stadium(近鉄花園ラグビー場, ''Kintetsu Hanazono Ragubī-jō'') is the spiritual home of rugby union in East Osaka . Owned by Kintetsu Corporation , it was Japan's first dedicated rugby union ground when it was opened in 1929. It is the stage for the annual National High School Rugby Tournament held every year at the end of December, and has also hosted important international, Top League and Microsoft Cup games. Hanazono is the home of the Kintetsu Liners rugby union team. Recently Kintetsu has been thinking of selling the stadium, as it is a loss-maker despite subsidies from East Osaka city. SEE ALSO |
