Kizuna "Bond" Stadium Brings American, Japanese Locals Together Production
After nearly a decade of joint planning and execution between Iwakuni City and Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, the Atago Hills sports complex, Kizuna Stadium was finally given its grand opening before a crowd of hundreds of local Japanese and American visitors in Iwakuni City, Japan, Nov. 4, 2017. The stadium is seen as more than just a sports complex for teams to train and play in. It is a hallmark of what the U.S.-Japan friendship has accomplished in Iwakuni City.
