Birds' Nest
Gannosu is located several miles northwest away from the City of Fukuoka. There is Gannosu Recreation Park, which consists of some sports grounds, a cycling road, a jogging road and some baseball fields.
What is Gan-no-su?
"Gan" is a wild goose and "su" is a nest in Japanese. That is, the name of a place "Gannosu" is connected with the migratory bird, which fly to this area every winter.
At Gannosu Stadium you can see some prospective geese during baseball season. Several years later, in early spring some of them fly across Hakata Bay to Fukuoka, transforming themselves into young Hawks, so that they play first-class baseball at the Dome.
