It's about a 20-minute drive from Orix Buffaloes campsite, so please refer to the information above.
If you're visiting multiple campsites...
Spring training camps take place between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM, so if you're coming from afar, we recommend staying the night before. Miyazaki City Kiyotake General Athletic Park (Orix Buffaloes) and Miyazaki City Ikume no Mori Athletic Park (Fukuoka Softbank) are about a 20-minute drive away, but Nichinan City Nango Central Park (Saitama Seibu Lions) and Miyakonojo City Athletic Park ball park (Chiba Lotte Marines) are about an hour to an hour and a half away from each training camp. If you want to thoroughly visit each one, try planning your schedule around visiting one location per day.
