Es Con Field HOKKAIDO

Opened in March 2023, this is the new stadium of the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters.

It’s a retractable-roof stadium that includes hotels, commercial facilities, restaurants, apartments, and even a daycare center.

Even on non-game days, you can tour inside the dome for free. There were cool panels of Shohei Ohtani and Yu Darvish, souvenir shops, restaurants, and much more. It’s like a shopping mall where you can spend hours of fun. You should definitely visit!

Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters

Last time, I introduced the Chiba Lotte Marines, but this time, let me introduce the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters.

Shohei Ohtani played here until 2018, and Yu Darvish until 2011! A side note: in a Japanese TV show in March 2024, Darvish mentioned that he wants to wear the Fighters’ uniform one more time.

The Fighters have won the Japan Series three times and the Pacific League seven times. Since 2022, the team has been led by Tsuyoshi Shinjo, who also brought in a new uniform.

Their performance this year ranks second, right behind Softbank. The Japan Series is about to begin!

Their first opponent will be the Chiba Lotte Marines. It’s exciting!

KUBOTA AGRI FRONT

In F Village, where the ballpark is located, there are many facilities, one of which is “KUBOTA AGRI FRONT.”

It’s a place where you can learn about food education. Through immersive visual technology, you’ll learn about the history of food and agriculture and the future of our dining tables.

You can also tour an indoor farm here. The tour costs 100 yen per person, and you’ll be guided by a staff member. At the end, you’ll even receive chopsticks made of rice as a souvenir!

Bakery

This is the famous bakery, “TRUFFLE.”

The most popular item is the “White Truffle Salt Bread” for 240 yen.

The outside is crispy with the fragrance of white truffle, while the inside has the rich aroma of butter and truffle with a chewy texture. It was incredibly delicious!

They will be reopening their Tokyo Monzen-Nakacho branch on October 19th!

It’s not available nationwide, so if you’re interested, make sure to check it out!

Bonus

This isn’t related to Es Con, but when you think of Hokkaido, you think of pork rice bowls!

And when you think of pork rice bowls, it’s “Tokachi Butadon Ippin.”

It’s incredibly delicious, so you should definitely try it!

Hokkaido has so many delicious things to offer, and I could go on introducing them all!

If you have any recommendations or want to ask about Hokkaido, feel free to leave a comment!

Thank you again today!
