Been out to a game at Seibu Dome recently?
I took the trek out there June 9 to meet Tom Dillon, fellow columnist (When East Marries West, every third Saturday) in The Japan Times, to watch the Lions interleague game against the Hiroshima Carp, suck up a few brewskies and enjoy the ambience at the ballpark in Tokorozawa, the suburb of Tokyo in Saitama Prefecture.
Though I live halfway out there from central Tokyo, I need to ride five trains and make four changes between Japan Railways and the Seibu lines but, when you get there, you're there. Seibu Kyujo-mae Station is right outside the park, and you can walk from the station wicket to the stadium entrance in about 45 seconds.
