ES CON FIELD HOKKAIDO, the new baseball stadium where the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters will be based, is located in Kitahiroshima City, next to Sapporo, and attracts many visitors from all over Japan during the season and at any time of year. There are several ways to get to F-Village, where ESCON Field is located, including JR, bus, and rental car. Here are details on travel time and fees for each.

JR", the standard method of transportation How to get to the nearest JR Kitahiroshima Station

JR北海道

JR is the standard way to travel from Sapporo to Kitahiroshima Station. Alternatively, take a local train bound for Chitose/Tomakomai, which takes about 25 minutes. The fare for both is 540 yen.

Incidentally, there are three types of airport trains: "rapid," "sectional rapid," and "special rapid," and they are easy to mistake, so please be careful. The "section rapid" stops at JR Kitahiroshima Station and takes about 16 minutes, the same as the "rapid," but the "special rapid" does not stop at Kitahiroshima Station. The "section rapid" does not stop at Kitahiroshima Station, so please be careful when boarding the train.

Shuttle buses connect JR Kitahiroshima Station and other stations with the stadium.
