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 current capacity is 7,137 [3] and is the home stadium of J3 League club FC Tokyo U-23.
Also, some matches hosted at the stadium involve Japanese youth national teams. Occasionally the stadium hosted Tokyo Verdy's J2 League matches.
Access to the stadium is from Motohasunuma Station on the Toei Mita Line.
