Rakuten Seimei Park Miyagi

Rakuten Seimei Park Miyagi, officially known as Miyagi Baseball Stadium, stands in Sendai as the third-oldest Nippon Professional Baseball stadium and the oldest in the Pacific League. Built in 1950 to host amateur baseball and countryside NPB games, the venue underwent comprehensive renovation after Sendai was awarded an expansion franchise, transforming it into the modern home of the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles since 2005. The stadium holds particular significance for the Tohoku region, having served as a symbol of resilience and recovery after sustaining structural damage during the devastating March 2011 earthquake and tsunami.

The stadium's 30,508-seat capacity features the only all-natural grass field in the Pacific League, with field dimensions measuring 100.1 meters (328 feet) to each foul pole and 122 meters to center field. A distinctive feature is the integrated Smile Glico Park amusement area in left field, complete with a Ferris wheel and merry-go-round that families can enjoy during games. The stadium operates as a completely cashless facility, requiring credit cards or electronic payments for all purchases including tickets, merchandise, and concessions.

Visitors can experience authentic Japanese baseball culture through enthusiastic fan participation, including synchronized cheering and the popular Lucky 7 balloon release tradition. Game tickets vary significantly based on game category, with prices for premium "Golden Seats" ranging from ¥7,700 for Platinum games down to ¥3,100 for Value games. The venue offers numerous food options both inside and around the stadium perimeter, with gates opening two hours before game time.

Miyaginohara Station on JR East's Senseki Line is the closest train station, just a five-minute walk away. The station, nicknamed "baseball station," features crimson red paint and Eagles-themed decorations. Alternative access includes Tsutsujigaoka Station on the same line, a 20-minute walk directly from JR Sendai Station, or shuttle buses operating from Sendai Station's east exit. The stadium is accessible from Tokyo via the Tohoku Shinkansen to Sendai Station, approximately 1.5 to 2 hours travel time.
