Going Up Along "The Road To The Giants"
From Keio Yomiuri Land Station, you have to go up 365 steps to Yomiuri Giants Stadium. This steep slope is named "The Road To The Giants".
You can also take a fast gondola which bring you up to the gate of Yomiuri Land Amusement Park, and see an overall view of the ballpark from the gondola.
Good seats are few. Almost all of the seats have obstructed views. The third base side seats or the passageway upward the first base side dugout only allows fans to see whole of the grounds.
There is a curious shape of building at back of the first base side. This eye-catching facility was a ski jumping slope, which was once called Yomiuri Schanze. Now it is unavailable.
It may not be worth 700 Japanese yen to see baseball at this ballpark.
