Well, we did it. We had our first catch in Japan. We went to Hotto Motto Stadium in Kobe, home of the Orix Buffaloes. It only seemed right! There are stadiums in this area for baseball, tennis, rugby and soccer. On the grounds is a small museum with info on the team. Lots of Ichiro love here. They even have one of his signed bats here on display. Above the stadium is a nice park that had some crazy slides that Hazel and Atty made good use of.
