The stadium that changed everything

When ES CON Field HOKKAIDO opened in 2023, it didn't just give the Nippon-Ham Fighters a new home — it set a new global standard for what a ballpark can be. This isn't a stadium with some food options. It's a destination that happens to have baseball.

What makes it special

Natural grass

One of very few domed stadiums in the world with real grass. The retractable walls open to let in Hokkaido's fresh air and natural light.

30+ restaurants

Not concession stands — actual restaurants. Hokkaido specialties include jingisukan (grilled lamb), fresh seafood bowls, Sapporo ramen, and local craft beer brewed on-site at the F VILLAGE BREWERY.

Tower 11 hot spring

Yes, you can soak in a hot spring with views of the baseball field. This exists nowhere else on Earth.

F VILLAGE

The surrounding complex includes shops, adventure parks, glamping facilities, and a farmer's market. It's designed for all-day visits, not just game time.

Getting there

Located in Kitahiroshima, about 30 minutes from central Sapporo by shuttle bus or JR train. Free shuttle buses run from Shin-Sapporo Station on game days.

How to buy tickets

The Fighters are a Klook partner team. English purchasing with international cards is available. Book early for premium experiences like the hot spring seats.
