Nishikyogoku Baseball Stadium, Baseball stadium in Ukyō-ku, Japan
Nishikyogoku Baseball Stadium is a baseball venue located within the Nishikyogoku Comprehensive Sports Park in Kyoto, with a capacity of approximately 20,000 spectators on natural grass. The stadium forms part of a larger sports complex that includes other athletic facilities.
The stadium was founded in 1932 as part of a broader sports park development marking an important moment in Japanese imperial history. Night lighting was added several decades later to extend playing possibilities.
The venue hosts the JABA Kyoto Tournament each spring, drawing corporate-sponsored amateur teams from across the region. Locals and visiting fans gather here to watch quality baseball matches throughout the season.
The stadium is easily accessible by train on the Hankyu Kyoto Main Line, with a short walk from the nearest station. Public buses also serve the location as an alternative transport option.
The field dimensions vary between the left and right field lines compared to center field, a feature that has remained unchanged since its opening. This original layout distinguishes it from most contemporary baseball stadiums.
