Future In Traditions

One of the training camps in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan. Miyazaki is where many of Japan’s sports training camps are held. The prefecture has been promoting the Sports Land Miyazaki initiative to encourage teams from outside the prefecture to hold camps there and stimulate the local economy, and has built numerous sports facilities. In the 2019 spring season, 8 professional baseball teams (including the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, who have won the Japan Series two years in a row) and 17 professional soccer teams from Japan and South Korea are holding training camps in Miyazaki. One of Miyazaki’s main sports facilities is the Miyazaki Prefectural Comprehensive Sports Park. With a total area of 154 hectares, the park includes a variety of facilities for both training and competing, including an athletics field, baseball field, soccer field, rugby field, indoor pool, and martial arts facility.
