Japan has shortlisted 13 venues to host matches if the country wins the right to host the World Cup in 2018 or 2022.
The Japan Football Association (JFA) plans to use nine of the 10 stadia from the 2002 World Cup, which Japan co-hosted with Korea.
New Fifa rules require World Cup host countries to build a stadium with a minimum capacity of 80,000 for the opening game and the final.
The JFA had planned to use the proposed 100,000-seat Olympic Stadium had Tokyo won the 2016 Games but the city lost out to Rio de Janeiro.
Yokohama, the venue for the 2002 World Cup Final, has Japan’s biggest stadium with a capacity of 70,000. Osaka is planning to build an 80,000-seater venue to solve the problem.
