Our guide
Yokohama Stadium in Naka Ward, Yokohama, is a baseball stadium opened in 1978, with room for 34,046 people. It is the home ground of the Yokohama DeNA BayStars and is nicknamed “Hamastar”, from yokoHAMA STAdium and baySTARs; because that also sounds like “hamster”, a hamster became one of the team's mascots. As of 2026 it is a cashless stadium, the fourth in Japan's professional league to go that way — so bring a card or a phone that can pay.
Kannai Station is about 300 m away in a straight line, and Yokohama Chinatown about 500 m.

What this place is
Yokohama Stadium (横浜スタジアム, Yokohama Sutajiamu) is a baseball stadium in Naka-ku, Yokohama, Japan. It opened in 1978 and has a capacity of 34,046 people. It is primarily used for baseball and is the home field of the Yokohama DeNA BayStars and has the nickname of "Hamastar" (ハマスタ) a mix of the words yokoHAMA, STAdium and baySTARs. Due to the pronunciation also reminding people of the rōmaji pronunciation of the word "Hamster", the hamster ended up becoming one of the BayStars mascots as well. The stadium features dirt around the bases and pitcher's mound, but with dirt colored turf infield and base paths. The entire green portion of the field is also turfed. As of 2026, the stadium had become a cashless stadium, being the 4th stadium in the NPB to adopt it.
