八事山本球場, Baseball venue in Showa-ku, Nagoya, Japan
JR Tokai Yagoto Baseball Ground is a baseball venue in Showa-ku, Nagoya, Japan. It consists of a main field with spectator seating and practice areas, used for amateur and corporate league games.
The ground opened in the early 1960s as a company sports facility for railway workers. Over the decades it has been maintained and updated, and it now serves a wider range of amateur baseball groups in the city.
On game days, the stands fill with local teams and their supporters, and the cheers and informal food stalls give the place a community feel. The ground is also used for school and company tournaments, so visitors may see young players training alongside older league teams.
The venue is a short walk from Yagoto Station and is easiest to reach on foot or by local bus. Check the schedule in advance, as access is usually limited to match days and the site is not a full-time public park.
The outfield fence is unusually close to the infield, which makes the ground a favorite for hitters and leads to high-scoring games. Visitors often notice the old-style scoreboard that is still operated by hand during matches.
