The Yomiuri Shimbun, the Yomiuri Giants, and Yomiuri Land are planning “TOKYO GIANTS TOWN” in an area adjacent to Yomiuri Land amusement park in Inagi City, Tokyo.
The Yomiuri Giants’ former training ground in Tamagawa was a place of gathering and exchange where people in the neighborhood could stop by and casually talk to the future star players. Tokyo Giants Town will include the construction of a ballpark integrated with an aquarium that will nurture life and pass it on to the next generation, as well as food, beverage, and sports-related facilities in the surrounding area.
The new stadium, the centerpiece of the stadium, is located on the Tama Hills overlooking the Kanto Plain and includes an aquarium with an underwater corridor behind the left field stands. The aquarium can be accessed through a concourse from the outfield seats, which have an expanse of grass and stone.
It is also designed to allow visitors to feel the bustle of the stands even from outside the grounds, and on days when there are no games or rentals, the concourse, which allows visitors to make a lap around the grounds, will be open to the public. The sub-grounds will also be provided as a walking course for nearby kindergartens/nursery schools and for sports events, and will be used as a place for community building, including festivals and events. Furthermore, in the future, the baseball team aims to make it one of the bases for the “Giants Academy,” where children are taught baseball by the baseball team.
