Komatsushima Mill of Nippon Paper industries Co., Ltd. has opened a field on its grounds to soccer schools and high school clubs in the community, which use it for soccer. Built in 1982 as part of an environmental initiative, the field was actually created by employees themselves, who seeded and grew the grass. It has since found a number of uses, given the relative scarcity of grass pitches in Tokushima Prefecture. In 1991, for example, the NHK Soccer School used the field. And in 1993, the NHK Cup Tokushima Junior High School Soccer Championship was also held there and broadcast on the NHK main channel. Komatsushima Boys' Soccer School began using the field in 1975 when several members of the Komatsushima Mill Soccer Club, known as the ‘Kokusaku Kickers’ began to assist the school as instructors. Since 2001, Komatsushima High School's soccer club has been using the field at Komatsushima Mill for practice.
