Daiei Komoro Stadium is a baseball stadium where the BC League and Shinano Grandcellows sometimes play their home games. The baseball stadium is located in Minami jo Park, but if you drive there, you will find the location a little difficult to find, as you will have to go down from the nearest road.
Getting to the Stadium
Daiei Komoro Stadium can be reached on foot in about 20 to 30 minutes (less than 2 kilometers) after transferring from Sakudaira to the Koumi Line and arriving at Komoro Station.
However, the location is a little difficult to find without a cell phone navigation system.

Parking
The baseball stadium is located in Minamijo Park, but if you are driving there, it is a little difficult to find after entering the park from the road, and the road is narrow.
I got the impression that the parking lot is not that big.
