About this book
Not a list of twelve famous ballparks, and not one league's official handbook. This complete guide reads 200 Japanese stadiums, arenas and sporting landmarks through the same four questions — the venue and its story, the sport, the teams and the spectator culture, the architecture and the records, and how to visit with the official sources for current facts. Travel region by region from Tokyo Dome and the National Stadium to Koshien, the Carp's red bowl in Hiroshima, the volcano-side grounds of Kagoshima and the Kings' arena in Okinawa — then close with Part 8's landmarks: the great racecourses, Suzuka Circuit, the Olympic ski jumps of Sapporo and Hakuba, the Kodokan, and the memorial stadium of Kamaishi. Choose a region, choose a sport, and Japan will show you where its sporting heart beats.
Written and created in Japan by Japanese author Aki Wakamatsu. Published by Takikawa TOKOTOKO Kids LLC, a Japanese publisher in Hokkaido, Japan. Authentic Japanese content, carefully made in Japan — not mass-produced.
