Just a short walk from Asakusa's Kaminarimon Gate, there's a new hotspot that's been getting more and more visitors over the past few years. It's a batting center with a giant glove sculpture as its landmark. For some reason, it's popular with foreigners too, with hundreds of people coming every day to the small space with only five batting cages. A man who visits for health reasons swings the bat at both left and right batting cages, saying, “Even if I miss, it's okay.” Next to him, a group of foreigners experiencing the batting cages for the first time cheer with each pitch. Discovering Cool Japan in an unexpected place, exploring its charm.
