This is the "Belluna Dome", the home stadium of the Saitama Seibu Lions. It is not a completely enclosed facility, there is a space between the ground and the roof, and it looks like the roof is floating. The stadium is almost directly connected to "Seibukyujo-mae Station", so it is easy to access from the station. When you get off the train and go through the ticket gate, the atmosphere of the stadium changes and it's exciting! There is also a lion monument waiting, and it's all about the Lions. The stadium also has a full merchandise store and food and drink shops. It's easy to overlook, but I recommend visiting the food and drink booth behind the backstop. The atmosphere of a baseball stadium is completely different depending on where you look, so one of the fun things to do is to watch the game from various angles and positions. Seibu Line "Seibukyujo-mae Station" 250m "Belluna Dome" 2135 Kamiyamaguchi, Tokorozawa City, Saitama Prefecture 359-1153 #baseball #baseball watching #dome #saitama #tokorozawa #lions #domestic travel

#tripmemory2022 Lake Sayama is located not far from Seibu Baseball Stadium. Tokorozawa is home to Totoro Forest, and I instantly thought, "Ah, this is the model for The Castle of Cagliostro." There's also a Tendai Buddhist temple at the foot of the mountain, so it's kind of like a power spot.

#Amusement park I went to Seibu Amusement Park's Zenitendo The Real! Of course, where Zenitendo is is a secret💛 It's a mystery where it is! Even after you're lucky enough to meet Beniko, you'll have a lot of trials in this mysterious experience with cheap sweets🍭 The difference between good and bad luck is a paper-thin line, and it's a test of luck that will change in an instant. So, what will your fate be!? ~~~Address~~~ Secret ~~~~~~~~~~ #Theme park #Zenitendo #Saitama Prefecture #Puzzle solving

We went to Seibu Amusement Park! We were totally engrossed in the Showa-era retro shopping streets and performances. There was a chase between thieves and police, a banana hawker, and dancing along with Showa-era idols! My son, who was born in the Heisei era, was so excited by the performance that got everyone involved. He fell in love with the Showa era and wished he had been born in that time! The nostalgic, emotional shopping streets and the retro amusement park rides matched well together, creating a stylish atmosphere! It was my first time riding Godzilla, and it was so exciting that I couldn't help but scream!! Please do give it a try.

I enjoyed the Showa-era townscape and the food. I recommend the show in the shopping arcade and the Godzilla attraction!

Tokorozawa Aviation Memorial Park in Tokorozawa City, Saitama Prefecture As its name suggests, it is also the birthplace of aviation in Japan. The park is popular as a place of relaxation for local residents, with facilities such as a grass plaza, outdoor stage, and artificial waterfall, as well as sports facilities such as a baseball field and tennis courts. The lawn is very spacious and you can stretch out, so we recommend spreading out a picnic blanket and having a picnic.
