 To
reach Seibu Dome, take the Seibu Shinjuku line from
Shinjuku Station. After a thirty minute ride, get off at
Tokorozawa Station. Look for the platform leading to
Seibu Kyujo-mae Station, and get on the next train
bearing folks wearing light blue Lions caps.
After
another five minutes, you will arrive at Seibu Kyujo-mae.
Walk toward the front of the platform and out the ticket
gates. Before proceeding any further, it might be a good
idea to purchase your return ticket. After the game, the
lines can be quite long.

From
the station, to your left you can see the back of the
stadium scoreboard. Straight ahead from the ticket gates,
you can purchase your game tickets. If you have time, you
can wander around the booths outside the station,
purchase food, drinks, and Lions merchandise.
While
you are allowed to bring your own food and beverages to
the game, you won't find any fast food restaurants. There
is a convenience store, however, about a hundred meters
west of Seibu Kyujo-mae Station.
Seibu
Dome is actually part of a larger entertainment complex.
Nearby, you'll find an amusement park with rides, a golf
course, two practice baseball fields, an indoor ski
slope, and other expensive diversions. If you don't mind
letting your family eat rice and gruel for the rest of
the month, bring your cash and blow it all in one day. It
won't be difficult.
If
you need a hotel, look around Tokorozawa. Rates should be
somewhat cheaper than rooms in Central Tokyo.
