tower eleven hotel is an intimate lifestyle hotel with just 12 rooms, located on the 4th floor of TOWER 11—an integrated stand-side facility built directly into ES CON FIELD HOKKAIDO, home of the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters. Situated within F Village (F Village 1, Kitahiroshima City), the hotel is physically part of the stadium structure, making it the first hotel in Asia where guests can “stay inside a ballpark,” a concept that has drawn significant attention.

The concept is “a lifestyle hotel inspired by entertainment.” Each room is designed to offer a prime view of the field via balconies, oversized sofas, or rooftop decks in the maisonette rooms. Whether it’s a game day or a quiet off-day, guests can enjoy an uninterrupted view of the natural turf field. One floor below, the natural hot spring and sauna facility “tower eleven onsen & sauna” offers a large bath, open-air baths, and saunas with stadium views. Restaurants, shops, and activities throughout the expansive 32-hectare F Village are within easy walking distance, allowing guests to experience the entire ballpark as if it were a small town.

All 12 guest rooms follow a unified concept centered around the number “11,” incorporating baseball- and stadium-themed elements such as uniforms, bats, and artwork in unique arrangements for each room. Room types include “mountain view,” “field view,” “field view maisonette,” “Darvish & Ohtani suite,” and “Darvish & Ohtani Premium maisonette.” All rooms are non-smoking and equipped with free Wi-Fi, TV, refrigerator, electric kettle, nightwear, bath towels, and other essentials for a comfortable stay.

The standard “mountain view” room is approximately 26㎡ and includes two semi-double beds and one single bed, facing the outer perimeter of the ballpark with views of F Village, the surrounding townscape, and distant mountains. The “field view” rooms are larger at around 38㎡ and feature balconies or large windows that directly overlook the field. With two semi-double beds, a single bed, and a sofa bed, these rooms are recommended for two guests but can accommodate up to four, making them suitable for couples or small groups.

For a more elevated experience, the maisonette rooms or player-themed suites are standout choices. The “field view maisonette,” at approximately 69–80㎡, features an upper-level balcony offering a unique angle overlooking the field. The “Darvish & Ohtani suite” and “Darvish & Ohtani Premium maisonette” celebrate the two star players with uniforms, photos, and art displayed throughout the space. Some of these special rooms can accommodate up to seven guests, making them popular with groups of fans.

A major highlight of the hotel is the natural hot spring and sauna complex located on the floor below. It features sodium-rich hot spring baths, an open-air bath, sauna areas with field views, and an indoor bar zone. Parts of the bathing area require swimwear, allowing guests to enjoy drinks from the bar while relaxing. Hotel guests can access the facility during designated hours on check-in and check-out days, making it a refreshing retreat between games or during a full day exploring F Village.

Amenities in the rooms are kept intentionally simple—shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, towels, loungewear, and slippers. Disposable items such as toothbrushes and razors are available upon request at the front desk to reduce plastic waste. The hotel also offers optional linen and towel changes for multi-night stays as part of its sustainability initiatives.

Breakfast is available through morning-included plans, served in the bar/lounge area of “tower eleven onsen & sauna.” Many plans pair breakfast with access to the hot spring facility, allowing guests to enjoy a relaxing morning soak followed by a leisurely breakfast while experiencing the stadium’s early-day atmosphere. Room service is not provided, but the many restaurants and shops throughout F Village make it easy to pick up food or enjoy stadium-style dining before or after games.

Access to the hotel is convenient: about 5 minutes by paid shuttle bus from JR Kitahiroshima Station, or approximately 20 minutes on foot. Guests arriving by car can use the dedicated section of the B4 parking lot free of charge (one space per room). Recommended driving routes include the Sapporo Minami IC or Watsu Smart IC from the Sapporo side, and the Eniwa IC from the Chitose direction. Check-in is typically from 15:00 and check-out at 9:00 (with extended options up to 10:00–12:00 depending on plan). Operations may vary during baseball season or special events.

Overall, tower eleven hotel offers a unique opportunity to go beyond simply “watching a game” and instead experience the stadium as a place to stay and unwind. With field-facing rooms just steps from the stands, natural hot springs and saunas, and nighttime views of the illuminated ballpark, it delivers an immersive, intimate stay. It’s an exceptional choice not only for baseball fans visiting Hokkaido but also for travelers seeking the full F Village atmosphere or sauna enthusiasts looking for a truly one-of-a-kind getaway.
