We came to “ES CON FIELD HOKKAIDO”
I stayed at the “tower eleven hotel,” a hotel integrated with the ballpark, which opened at the new stadium of the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters, a Japanese professional baseball team, “ES CON FIELD HOKKAIDO” (opening in March 2023)!
This is the first hotel in a stadium in Asia with a panoramic view of the field. I was eager to experience this, so I went to Hokkaido!
ES CON FIELD HOKKAIDO” is located in Kitahiroshima City, next to Sapporo City, where Nippon Ham’s former home ground, Sapporo Dome, is located.
In addition to the ballpark, the area that includes gourmet food, hotels, glamping and other lodging facilities, hot springs, and stores and restaurants is called “Hokkaido Ball Park F Village.
As we drove away and the huge building came into view, we couldn’t help but get excited!
