Seibu Lions Stadium and Lake Sayama

Last Sunday I went to Seibu Lions Stadium to watch baseball game.
I went to stadium by train. Seibu Lions Stadium station is near the my parents house. so to go to Seibu Lions Stadium means I back my hometown.


Baseball is most popular sports in Japan. Though in 1990's started J-league soccer, and some young people prefer watching soccer, but baseball is most popular sport among all the generation in Japan.

I like to watch baseball so much, because my hometown have professional baseball team that name is Seibu Lions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saitama_Seibu_Lions
Japan have 12 professional baseball team, only 12team. To watch baseball game is quite cheap for me and for my family, because my mother friends always gave us baseball game free cicket. So when I was a child, I used to go to Seibu Lions stadium to watch baseball game.


Before watching game, I went to Lake Sayama near the stadium. We call Lake Sayama, but in fact it is not lake, it is dam, reservoir. Everyone don't fishing, crusing... and so on, because this lake is build for water service in Tokyo.


When I was 18-23 years old, I used to go to here by car for relax and date to my boyfriend. I liked to drive a car so much. It takes about 10-15 minutes from my parents home to here. Lake Sayama is full of memories place for me.


Of cource, I took hana-mi walk. Once here was famous place for hana-mi. But now here become less crowded place... only local people came here and enjoy hana-mi...
Mata-ne!!
