Enjoy a weekend at this cool, new spot in Sapporo, Japan: Es Con Field Hokkaido

This ballpark, Es Con Field Hokkaido, and the surrounding area, Hokkaido Ballpark F Village, opened in Sapporo, Japan in 2023. There are all sorts of things to do here, so you don’t have to be a baseball fan to enjoy yourself. This place has been continuously developing since its opening, and it is now known to be one of the most popular spots in Hokkaido Prefecture. Today we’ll show you some fun things to do in Es Con Field.

Es Con Field HOKKAIDO is the ballpark that never stops evolving

Es Con Field HOKKAIDO is the first ballpark in Japan with a roof that can be opened or closed and natural grass field. The large, glass walls and green grass are not only functional but also visually beautiful. It is the home field for the Hokkaido baseball team, Nippon Ham Fighters. During baseball season, many people visit to see the games, but the place is also used for camping, practice games, and other events. The seats are close to the field, so you can experience baseball in a way you can’t anywhere else. They also offer stadium tours, so we recommend that if you have the time. From Sapporo Station, a central station in Hokkaido, to the station closest to the stadium, Kita-Hiroshima Station, it takes 20 minutes with no transfers. Stop by during your vacation in Sapporo, Japan.
