Seibu will host the CS First Stage against Nippon-Ham at Belluna Dome, marking the team’s first home-hosted series in 7 years. Reporting also covered walks through the surrounding woods and along paths with no established roads, conveying the area’s natural setting and sense of escape from the everyday.
Seibu, second in the Pacific League, will host third-place Nippon-Ham at Belluna Dome on the 10th for the CS First Stage. It will be the first time in 7 years that the stadium has hosted the CS.
A reporter covering Seibu walked around Belluna Dome shortly after 9 a.m. on the day before the game schedule began, observing the quiet around the station, the forest scenery and the presence of paths with no established roads.
The surrounding area retains natural features known as Totoro’s Forest and includes paths that do not appear on Google Maps. The quiet of the forest and sounds of nature create a sense of distance from the everyday world.
The area is described as valuable as a place where players and fans gather amid nature, supporting the excitement of an extraordinary experience.
