Yakult Toda Baseball Field in Saitama Prefecture is where Yakult's second team games are held.
The stadium is located on the banks of the Arakawa River, adjacent to the Sairako and Domitsu Green Parks.
Getting to the Stadium
For access by train, the station is Kitatoda Station on the Saikyo Line, which is about 3.5 kilometers from the station, making it somewhat difficult to reach by foot.
If you want to take a bus, the station is not Kitatoda but Musashiurawa Station.
From Musashiurawa Station, take the Kokusai Kogyo Bus "Takeura 01" bound for Shimosasame.
Take the Kokusai Kogyo bus bound for Shimosasame.
The closest bus stop to the stadium is at the "Sairako/Domitsu Green Park Entrance".
This is the nearest bus stop to the stadium.
Walk from the bus stop to the ballpark.
The number of buses varies depending on weekdays, weekends, and the time of day, but there seems to be one every 10 minutes or so.
If you are driving, there is a parking lot at the adjacent Saiko and Domitsu Green Park.
There are three large parking lots in the park.
(When I walked around the stadium, there were three entrances to the parking lot, but there was another one on the sign, so I guess this one is a little further away.
The fee is 200 yen for the first two hours, and 100 yen per hour thereafter, so it works out to about 500 yen for five hours.

Ageo City is only accessible by the Takasaki Line, and each venue is far from the station. For venues in Ageo, a car is also an option.

Omiya Station is one of the largest stations in Saitama Prefecture, and the Shinkansen also stops there.
