[ for keirin racing in general, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keirin ]

It seems there's three velodromes in the greater tokyo-kawasaki-yokohama area (yes?):

It looks like the only velodrome that has racing scheduled during this week is http://www.tachikawakeirin.jp<http://www.tachikawakeirin.jp/>

I am curious if someone who can read japanese, and knows the area here, can help me figure out:

1)  is there (keirin) racing to view either Wed or Thu evening at Tachikawakeirin velodrome (only?)

2) if so is there public viewing of the racing ?

3) if so,  what are the hours of the raching?  does it occur in evening hours?

4) if so, what are the sequences of trains to take to get there and how long might it take to get there ?

thanks!
