Adults Can Join Too
A special event that was apparently popular last year, “Try Field Maintenance on a Maintenance Vehicle!”, will be held.
Participants can ride one of Hanshin Engei’s field maintenance vehicles for about two minutes and experience maintaining the field at Koshien.
Applications close at 23:59 on November 23.
Adults are welcome, and anyone in elementary school or older can participate.
