How to Buy Tickets
Recommended seats
For first-timers, the Field Level seats put you at ground level, close enough to hear the players. The stadium also has unique seating like the hot spring viewing area and terrace BBQ seats.
With over 30 restaurants and food stalls, ES CON FIELD is a foodie's dream. The on-site SORACHI 1984 BREWERY serves craft beers you can't get anywhere else. Hokkaido's famous seafood, jingisukan (lamb BBQ), and ramen are all available.
Getting There
The ballpark is in Kitahiroshima, about 30 minutes from Sapporo by train. A new station is under development to improve access further. Shuttle buses run from Sapporo on game days.
Beyond Baseball
The tower eleven onsen (hot spring) lets you watch the game while soaking. There's also a kids' adventure park, glamping facilities, and shops. You could easily spend an entire day here.
Summary
ES CON FIELD HOKKAIDO is not just a baseball stadium — it's a lifestyle destination. If you visit Hokkaido, this is a must-see even if you're not a baseball fan.
