First, we went down from the stands to the ground and took a tour.

The Yomiuri Giants Stadium has natural grass in the fair zone, but the foul zone has been replaced with artificial grass. Artificial turf contains a natural cushioning material, which has the effect of lowering the surface temperature, leading to a countermeasure against the heat of the summer. This artificial turf will also be used in the new Yomiuri Giants Stadium, which will be completed in Inagi City in March 2025.

Next, they toured every corner of the bullpen (pitching practice field), the benches, and the indoor practice field attached to the stadium, all the places they would normally never be able to enter.

In addition to the players' rooms, we toured the New Yomiuri Giants dormitory, which was just completed in November 2020, including the training room and indoor pool. As this is a special place that players are never allowed to enter after moving into their dormitory, the participants were very enthusiastic about touring the area.

At the end of the tour, we were served lunch with the same menu that the athletes ate at the dormitory cafeteria. The main menu for this day was ``Curry Nanban Soba/Udon'' and ``Taco Rice,'' along with salads and small side dishes.The participants were very satisfied with the delicious and nutritious selection of items to support the athletes. It was like that.

A baseball lesson was held by the Yomiuri Giants women's team, directed by Inagi City Tourism Ambassador Kazutomo Miyamoto.

The players on the girls' team taught the basic baseball movements of hitting, catching, and throwing from the children's perspective in a fun and easy-to-understand manner. Some of the children in attendance had no experience with baseball, but they listened carefully to what the coach had to say and worked hard.

At the end, a mini-game was played with the girls' team players. The indoor practice field was very lively due to the heated development!

At the end of the tour, in preparation for the birth of the New Yomiuri Giants Baseball Stadium, flags for the "G-DREAM Project" were prepared for participants to write down their "dreams" and "feelings" that they would like to see come true at the new stadium. ” and “my thoughts”.
The written flag will be displayed at the opening ceremony of the new stadium, etc.

This tour was carried out in cooperation with the Yomiuri Giants, Yomiuri Land, and Inagi City as an effort to build momentum toward the completion of "TOKYO GIANTS TOWN."

We will continue to build momentum for the opening of the New Yomiuri Giants Stadium in March 2025 and the grand opening of TOKYO GIANTS TOWN in 2026, while encouraging citizens to We will carry out various initiatives to provide a lively and lively town to everyone.
