Japan's first natural grass stadium with a retractable roof It was a game day and I tried to park my car in the parking lot, but I was told that I couldn't park unless I made a reservation in advance. Anyway, it was really spacious and there were lots of spaces available...😓 I was walking around in circles, and there was just one space available in the parking lot at the shop corner, so I was able to park there. You can tour the inside for just the admission fee. It's new, so it's really beautiful. There are also tours available that allow you to enter the team area and interview area. #HokkaidoTrip #HokkaidoTourism #RecommendedHokkaidoTourism #Hokkaido #EsconFieldHokkaido #EsconField #Baseball #BaseballField #0YenTripJanuary2025

We rented a car and went on a three-day, two-night trip to Hokkaido. From New Chitose Airport, we took the JR to Sapporo Station and rented a new Prius that we had reserved at Toyota Rental & Lease in Keio Plaza Hotel. First, we ate seafood at the outer market and then moved to Otaru. After a cruise on the Otaru Canal and touring glasswork and sweets, we went to Escon Field to watch a baseball game⚾️ On the second day, we drove to Asahiyama Zoo and Hitsujigaoka, and took commemorative photos at the TV tower and clock tower at night. On the last day, we did various experiential activities at Hakone Ranch, which is close to New Chitose Airport. We also went to the Salmon Aquarium🐟🐟 The hotel and rental car choices were also good♪ Recommended😊#Hokkaido #SapporoTourism

Mountain view 🚩 4 rooms in total The most reasonable, the windows are on the opposite side of the stadium, so you can't see the game from the room, but you can watch the game from the private rooftop terrace🍃 2. Field view 🚩 3 rooms in total There is a balcony on the stadium side, so you can watch the game from your room, and it is the second most reasonable, so it is probably the most popular room🍃 3. Field view – maisonette 🚩 3 rooms in total It is a maisonette type, so the room area is large and it is perfect for family and group trips🍃 4. DARVISH & OHTANI Premium Maisonette 🚩 Only 1 room The largest room, about 80㎡, can accommodate up to 7 people🍃 5.DARVISH & OHTANI suite 🚩 Only 1 room An open suite room with the largest balcony and window area, with high visibility and a full view of the field🍃 👈Actual stay ✔️Prices vary depending on whether there is a game or not, weekdays, holidays, etc. ✔️Popular dates fill up quickly as soon as reservations begin, so make sure to book quickly ✔️Be careful as there is a 100% cancellation policy at the time of payment It was a great hotel that will definitely charm not only baseball fans, but also those who are not so much🥰🤍 🌈 1 F Village, Kitahiroshima City, Hokkaido 061-1116 #Stay #Escon Field Hokkaido #Tower Eleven Hotel

I went to the newly opened S-Con Field Hokkaido in Kitahiroshima. There are so many things to do, so I'll introduce you to the free play area. You can play here without going inside. It's an F⭐︎play field. If you're close, this is a lot of fun. There are playground equipment in an area with lots of wood chips, so just walking around is fun. The playground equipment has a small park feel. I think it's for small children. But! There was a mini baseball field with artificial turf. Especially children who don't know the rules can enjoy it. The balls are plastic and don't hurt too much. It's for children, but adults played with them too. There was also a warm and mini tennis set. #Domestic travel #S-Con Field Hokkaido #Kitahiroshima #Recommended places to go with children #Trip with children

A new tourist attraction in Hokkaido. ES CON FIELD HOKKAIDO is the home field of the professional baseball team Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters. Get off at Kitahiroshima Station, the midpoint of the Airport Liner that connects Sapporo and New Chitose Airport. There are many direct buses from Kitahiroshima Station, and taxis are also waiting. It doesn't take that long to walk there, so it's recommended for those who have time and want to avoid the crowds. There are many shops open inside the stadium, including restaurants and hot spring facilities. Not everything around the stadium is open yet, and some construction work is still underway. It will be an even more fulfilling ballpark in the future😊 I spoke to the stadium guide staff and they said that on baseball game days, even if you don't have a seat ticket, you can enter the concourse and use restaurants and other facilities if you purchase an admission ticket. On days when there are no games, admission is free and you can use the restaurants in the stadium, so it will be a new tourist attraction for Hokkaido travelers who get off at New Chitose Airport ⇔ Sapporo. Regardless of the content of the baseball game, there were many events held between innings, including the ``Fox Dance'' and ``Genghis Khan Dance,'' and the atmosphere was very fun.

All-you-can-eat crab dinner at Classe Hotel, Kitahiroshima At dusk, we headed to the buffet venue with the view from the 12th floor restaurant behind us.

Salmon roe, salmon oyakodon, and juicy cut steaks were also lined up, embodying the plan name itself: "All-you-can-eat crab, salmon roe, and salmon!" The rich lineup of Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes naturally brought out greedy smiles. . In a hotel review, one comment said, "The sashimi was authentic, and the snow crab was all-you-can-eat. I was so absorbed in peeling it," and the taste and volume were both highly rated. . #AbsolutelyFreeTravel
