My wife and I traveled to Hiroshima.
On the way there, we decided to visit Mazda Zoom-Zoom Stadium (Mazda Stadium).

Mazda Stadium is the home of the Hiroshima Carp.
On the way to the stadium, we saw “Carp Boya” on manholes, and as we got closer to the stadium, the frequency of the red color increased, showing our love for the Hiroshima Carp.

From Hiroshima Station to Mazda Zoom-Zoom Stadium (Mazda Stadium)

To tell the truth, neither my wife nor I particularly like baseball.
However, we have relatives who like Osela of the Hiroshima Carp, so we decided to stop by to buy some souvenirs.

After my wife told me that she wanted an Osela uniform, I completely thought he was a foreign player until I saw his name in the store. Sorry.

Cool Mazda Stadium

From Hiroshima Station, we headed to the stadium on foot.

On the way, I noticed a manhole with the name “Carp Boy” on it.
Even if you are not a baseball fan, you know this figure. He is cute.

As I walk toward the stadium, I see more and more red color schemes.

Even Lawson has this color scheme. I can’t believe Lawson is red.
You can feel their love for the Hiroshima Carp.

About a 20-minute walk from Hiroshima Station, you will see a large stadium.
You will see the big stadium.

It’s so cool.
Even if you are not a fan, it is exciting to see the stadium.

There was no game on that day, but there was a stadium tour where you can enter the spectator side of the stadium.
If I had time, I would have liked to join the tour.

To the Hiroshima Carp fan store

When I entered the fan store next to the stadium, it was, of course, all in red.
There was a storm of player-related goods and “Carp bouyas”.

In fact, I had set a goal of this trip to get a “Carp Boya” sticker.
I wanted to put it on my beloved Mac.

However, the stickers were only as big as my Mac, so I gave up because they would hide the other stickers. Love is too big.

After that, I bought Osela’s uniform and a fan and left the stadium.

I am glad to hear that my relatives were very happy. I hope they use the fan.
*It was a flashy fan with glitter on it.

Summary

There was a time when the Hiroshima Carp was in financial trouble and the team’s survival was in jeopardy.
It was written that donations from fans saved the team from that crisis.

When I was in Hiroshima, I saw posters of the Carp everywhere, children and elderly people wearing Carp hats, and I noticed many red cars.

Local love is wonderful.
