Hiroshima appears to have a nice stadium (Zoom-Zoom!). One of the few with real grass.

Unfortunately the Swallows are the only team without a home game during our short stay in Tokyo; they would have been my first choice otherwise. Yokohama is a possibility but that depends upon the wants and needs of my better half.
Think I worked a Hiroshima Carp game (and a full day around the town) into our schedule.
It's possible to also work a Nagoya game into the schedule since it's a quick train ride after an afternoon in Hikone.... but my wife might not take so kindly to
too much time spent at ballparks. There's a point at which it's best to not push further and I can tell the line is being toed.
