KG Sanda field

Greetings, ADs and soccer coaches. 
The SOIS Sabers host high school varsity and JV soccer matches, boys and girls, at the Kwansei Gakuin Sanda campus field. Thank you for your cooperation as we make use of this nice, though remote, venue.

It is easier to travel directly to the KG Sanda campus via school bus or car (with no stop-off at SOIS in Minoh). 
Bus and car parking information below.  (Scroll down for public transportation options.)

Bus and car parking information

  2. Please inform SOIS (2 days in advance) of your estimated arrival time. Assumption: 1 hour before game time.
  3. For bus parking, please enter campus via  the main gate (正門, seimon; south part of campus), shown at bottom of annotated map 2 above.

  7. Car parking tip: You might be able to park in the student parking lot next to the field (#31 on "car parking map", #25 on "campus map 2"). This lot is empty on Saturdays.
