This is the home stadium of the Hanshin Tigers. You can get there in a short train ride from Osaka. It is a dream stage full of the romance of Japanese school baseball, where the Koshien tournament, which even those who don't know baseball, will hear about at least once, is held. However, when I went, the atmosphere was not good. It was because Hanshin was losing. At that time, I think Hanshin was not as good at baseball as Lotte. #2025Overseas Travel Event

#FuriTabi Koshien Stadium in Hyogo Prefecture is a sacred place for baseball fans. It is the home field of the professional baseball team Hanshin Tigers, and is also famous as the venue for the national high school baseball tournament. When you actually visit the stadium, you can feel its history and passion, and on game days in particular, a sense of unity is created as fans cheer. The view from the stands is fantastic, and you can get a good view of the field from any seat. There is also a wide selection of gourmet food, so you can enjoy delicious food and drinks while watching the game inside the stadium!

I saw the Hanshin Tigers home game in person! It felt different from Korean baseball stadiums, and the stadium was so pretty and well-decorated that I really liked it! And if possible, I recommend buying food from convenience stores or discount stores outside rather than eating food sold at the stadium! Oh, of course, the players' lunch boxes are worth eating! If you buy a uniform for 8,000 yen, you'll also get the patches that the players wear, which is nice! #Koshien #Hyogo #Nishinomiya #Suburbs of Osaka
