Japan's most creative stadium

MAZDA Zoom-Zoom Stadium Hiroshima, opened in 2009, has the most diverse seating options in all of NPB. While most stadiums offer standard seats, MAZDA lets you watch baseball from reclining loungers, BBQ terraces, and even dirt-level 'sandpit' seats.

The sleeper seats (Nesoberia)

Reclining lounge chairs on an outfield terrace where you literally lie down while watching baseball. It's the only seat like this in professional sports anywhere in the world. Perfect for a lazy afternoon game. Book far in advance — they sell out instantly.

BBQ terrace

Group seating where you grill your own food while watching the game. The ingredients are pre-ordered and everything is set up for you. Ideal for groups of 8-12. It's essentially a party with a baseball game happening in front of you.

Sandpit seats (Sunakaburi)

Ground-level seats right behind the playing field fence. You're at the same level as the players. The sound of the ball hitting the bat, the dirt flying on slides — it's the most immersive baseball experience possible.

Hiroshima food

Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki grilled fresh at the stadium, local oysters, and Hiroshima craft beer. The food quality matches the creative stadium design.

Getting there

10-minute walk from JR Hiroshima Station. Combine with a morning visit to the Peace Memorial Park (also walking distance) for a powerful day of history and baseball.
