• Traveling to Futako-Shinchi Station (Denentoshi Line) and up to a 1.2 mile walk (red path on map)
• or Traveling to Kuji Station (JR Nambu Line) and a 0.8 mile walk (blue path on map)

To find the best route to these stations, you may wish to use the Hyperdia timetable service in English (leave out the dash in Futako-Shinchi station to find it in the tool). If you haven't been out to play before, Futako-Shinchi is the easier station to travel from without getting list -- plus at times we play right by the station.

From Futako-Shinchi Station

Exit out the north exit, and turn left to head towards the river. You'll pass a few convenience stores where you can pick up water if you need it. Continue straight at a traffic light and you'll eventually reach a road running parallel to the river. Cross this street and look out at the baseball fields straight in front of you -- if the fields here are free of baseballers we typically play here, right at the station. If you don't see discs, however, head down to the dirt path just before the baseball fields, turn left, and continue heading away from the train tracks. You'll eventually need to cross a bridge, and then keep walking. Eventually you'll reach a new set of fields set back from the road (if you've followed the dirt path the whole way, there'll be a mini-golf course to your left and fields to your right). We'll either be playing abeam to the mini-golf course or past it.

From Kuji Station

Head out the (single set of) faregates and turn right. You'll come to a intersection with a pedestrian crossover. Either use the crossover or cross the street in both directions, then turn left. Take the next Right (after the conbini) and head down the side street to the second traffic light. Turn right here and follow the street down to the river road (you'll see an emankment and fields beyond it). Generally speaking we play to the right of here; turn right and then head in at the first road on the left (which will take you to the parking lot).

NOTE: If we're playing at the baseball fields at Futako-Shinchi station, you will have a very long walk from Kuji station. The directions here take you to the "Kuji Fields" which are about 1.2 miles from Futako-Shinchi station. If you reach the Kuji Fields and learn that we're at the Shinchi baseball fields, turn right while facing the river (so the river is on your left) and start walking... we'll be straight ahead just before you reach the railroad bridge.
