Kyushu Region, Fukuoka, Nishi-Hotsaki District – the area is scenic, surrounded on three sides by the sea, complete with various convenient facilities, and is one of the renowned resort sanctuaries in Fukuoka City.
The dormitories for the rookie players of the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks are also located here: players typically call it the West Hotsaki Dormitory, but officially SoftBank has named it the "Wakatoshi Dormitory," which in Japanese means "young eagle."
This name expresses the team's good wishes for the young players: selected young talents come here from all over the country to receive professional-level training and gradually grow, until they truly become eagles soaring in the blue sky, officially joining the first team, and then spreading their wings in the Yahoo Dome.
