Fighters’ new home field is planned to inaugurate in March 2023.
Having a corporate philosophy that aims to create a “Sports Community,” our goal is not simply to build a new home stadium, but to implement a placemaking project in which our various stakeholders, including partners, fans and the local community come together to provide a place that gives back to the society.
With a size of 32 hectares, we aim to develop a co-creative community space where future generation live-entertainment coexists with the surrounding nature, well-being is enhanced through providing wellness solutions, and where various cultural activities flourish.
We hope that a diverse group of people, regardless of nationality, age, or gender, gather to F Village to live a better tomorrow. Together we aim to create a Ballpark that becomes a symbol of Hokkaido, the likes of which the world has never seen.
Senior residence and medical mall
A residence for active senior citizens with a medical mall will be developed in the southeast corner of F Village, aiming for completion in the spring of 2024. The project aims to play a role in maintaining the health of people of all ages, from youth to the elderly, and to contribute to local medical care.
Glamping and a experiential outdoor activities
Power Station will offer glamping and an experiential outdoor activities including day camps and BBQs in the grass area on the south side of ES CON FIELD HOKKAIDO, “BALLPARK TAKIBI TERRACE ALLPAR”. Gas grill and fire pit for BBQ are available on the private wooden deck at 8 lodging facilities. Please spend a cozy time as if you are living in the center of the “BALLPARK”.
THE LODGE
Located in the center of F Village and connecting ES CON FIELD and its waterfront area, THE LODGE will serve as a base for information dissemination in F Village, where visitors can enjoy Hokkaido‘s rich natural environment through a variety of activities, and where new encounters and discoveries can be made. In addition to a store filled with local products where visitors can get to know the neighboring areas, the space will also serve as a tourism hub where visitors can experience outdoor activities and workshops and tour the surrounding areas.
Local Hokkaido materials are used throughout the building, with a gently gabled roof that reflects the majestic mountain range, and an exterior mainly made of Hokkaido-style red brick and Dounan cedar, in a design that blends well with ES CON FIELD. As a warm feeling building that blends in with the nature of Hokkaido, it will be a space where visitors can enjoy the changes in nature throughout the ages.

Sustainable Development Goals（SDGs）
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity. The 17 SDGs are integrated—they recognize that action in one area will affect outcomes in others, and that development must balance social, economic and environmental sustainability.
