Exactly, it is singularly the only reason to go and watch a J-League match. The crowds are about 45% - 50% women! They love their football. I see Sony on the front of the Leeds shirt, that would go well I think..
Only went to one match when I was over there for a few months - Sendai v Kashima I'm pretty sure it was
I remember the drive from Utsunomiya was about 4 hours but the experience was more than worth it!
Utsunomiya, home of the gyoza, love that place, proper countryside. What were you doing out here?
I did 2 x 3 month stints working for my then employer, GSK, in Imaichi
I had a car and drove there every day from Utsunomiya where i based myself as it's a cracking city with plenty of great places to eat and drink.
Countryside was great as you say, some lovely spots. Visited Nikko obviously and had a few thermal spas - did some walking and got mugged by spurious sulphur clouds
As you say, gyozas were awesome as was pretty much everything
Said it before, I would go back tomorrow if I was single with no kids
