A Stadium of Hope
Asia will welcome the Rugby World Cup for the ﬁrst time when Japan hosts the tournament in 2019. As a symbol of recovery from the2011 disaster, and to create renewed hope and courage among the children of the city, Kamaishi put forward a host city bid and wasoﬃcially selected among 12 other municipalities in March 2015. At the time of selection, Kamaishi was the only one among these 12
host cities without an established stadium. So, with the following goals in mind, the Kamaishi Unosumai Memorial Stadium was built intandem with the cityʼ s reconstruction.
① Address the lack of sports facilities along the disaster-aﬀected Sanriku Coast, and create a place for residents to gatherand enjoy sport.
② Host a diverse range of events, from international and domestic sports tournaments to music and performing arts.
③ Be an eﬀectively utilized health and ﬁtness facility.
④ Pass on memories of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, and share knowledge of disaster prevention strategies.
⑤ Continue the All-Japan V7 and Rugby World Cup legacies.
⑥ Comprise part of the Kamaishi Open FIeld Museum (a city initiative providing outdoor activities to promote the environment,
history and culture.
