First, check the schedule and events.

On the day of the event, you can also check the schedule posted next to the information booth in the vendor area.
Any sudden schedule changes will be announced on the bulletin board.

I entered the stadium from the Tsubokawa Station side around 9:00 AM, so I was able to see the pitchers running in the athletics field.
There were also moments when the players were moving around, providing great photo opportunities from close range.

Inside the stadium, the fielders are practicing their batting, and the exhilarating sound of the ball hitting the bat is echoing through the air.
After a while, the fielders and pitchers joined together and began practicing in a game format.
Foul balls fly into the stands, making it quite a thrilling and exciting experience.
Every time a hit is made, the crowd erupts in applause.

Generous fan service

During this training camp, special fan services were offered, including a "morning field experience" and "batting practice observation," which were available to lucky winners selected by lottery.

A long line had formed at the "Mensore STAGE" near the first base side entrance of the stadium, where people were waiting to register.

The reception hours will be announced in the real-time information section of the official website, so be sure to check it.

After practice at the stadium, there's a chance to get autographs from the players in the "mixed zone," which is also located near the entrance on the first base side.
The line is divided into three lanes, and the players are assigned to one of the lanes to sign autographs.


The lines are incredibly long, and apparently, you might not get an autograph even after waiting for hours.
If you're just looking around, it's easy to drop in, but if your goal is fan service, it's best to allow plenty of time.

Bustling stall area

The area north of the stadium, near the bus stop in front of the park, is designated as a vendor area.
The store featured collaborative merchandise with well-known local restaurants and businesses.


You'll definitely want to get your hands on some of the limited-edition merchandise available only at the Okinawa camp.
There's a wide variety of merchandise, including collaborative goods with companies in Okinawa Prefecture and NAHA CAMP mini Shisa straps.

In particular, pay attention to "Shuri Soba," a popular restaurant in Shuri, the hometown of player Oshiro.
This is apparently the first time Shuri Soba is being sold for takeout, so you can now enjoy the taste of this famous restaurant at home.

The stage events included fan-pleasing activities such as autograph sessions with players and a raffle for signed baseballs.
The event schedule will be posted on the bulletin board next to the information desk on the day of the event, so be sure to check it.

Be sure to check out the events outside the stadium as well.

Be sure to check out the events that are linked to the camping trip.
