No worries even if it's your first time! Summary of Highlights of ESCON Field & Hokkaido Ball Park F Village
Experience activities at a lodge in the style of a mountain lodge
THE LODGE, a two-story wooden structure, stands out conspicuously outdoors. It looks like a mountain lodge with its use of local timber and bricks from Ebetsu City next door. It houses the "HUB," an antenna store where visitors can discover local attractions, THE NORTH FACE, which offers a full lineup of items for families, and AINZ&TULPE, which has the largest travel goods corner in the store.
The 2nd floor entrance of "THE LODGE" can be seen outside of "TOWER 11 GATE.
At Specialized, a California-based bicycle brand, all bikes, wheels, saddles, and tires in the store are available for rent! You can test ride the highest grade bike of your dreams or install rental parts on your favorite bike that you brought with you.
You can also rent a bike and test it carefully on Elfin Road (cycling road)!
Fully cashless payment system for smooth payment
All facilities in the ballpark are completely cashless. Those who do not have a cashless payment method can purchase WAON here at the cashless support desk in the stadium.
Cashless payment is widely accepted for credit cards, debit cards, prepaid cards, as well as electronic money including transportation systems, QR code payment, etc.
Of course, cashless payment is also made with beer vendors, so there is no exchange of change and it is speedy. Incidentally, you can also purchase "Sora Toshiba Play Ball! Ale," a craft beer brewed in the stadium, from the beer vendor.
A total of four types of beer vendor uniforms are available.
Cheers after the game!
The "Nanatsusei Yokocho" eating and drinking area on the second floor of the stadium, located on the third base side, offers not only casual eating and drinking, but also solid dining options. Ten stores offering a wide variety of food are available, including "Yakigai Akoya," a shellfish specialty restaurant from Ebisu, Tokyo; sushi from Tenkin, a long-established Japanese restaurant in Asahikawa; and Razan, an authentic Sapporo yakiniku restaurant.
The "Nanatsuboshi Yokocho" is a side street area where you can eat and talk after the game, something that has never been possible at a ballpark before.
The area will remain open even after the game is over, so you can enjoy a drink with other excited fans or enjoy a meal with your family! The concept is "a place where people gather and become friends through food.
A space where "free enjoyment" is possible, where watching the game is not the only thing to do.
Domingo will continue to feature Escondido Field & F Village!
