DeNA Edutainment Facility Wonderia and Yokohama DeNA BayStars Live Viewing Arena THE LIVE to open at the Expansive BASEGATE YOKOHAMA KANNAI Complex in Front of JR Kannai Station in Spring 2026

TOKYO, JAPAN – November 13, 2024 – DeNA Co., Ltd. and the Yokohama DeNA BayStars Baseball Club, Inc. would like to announce the following regarding facilities to be directly operated by the DeNA Group within the expansive BASEGATE YOKOHAMA KANNAI complex, currently under construction in front of JR Kannai Station as part of the City of Yokohama old city hall district utilization project.*

Since the DeNA Group entered professional baseball in 2011, we have engaged in machizukuri initiatives centered on sports. This began with the Community Ballpark Concept, which aimed to enable people who were unfamiliar with baseball to easily come and enjoy Yokohama Stadium and Yokohama Park, and now we are working on efforts such as the energizing of the Kannai and Kangai areas following the move of the City of Yokohama city hall, as well as events to encourage people to come to the stadium and park even on days without professional baseball games, for example BALLPARK FANTASIA. 

In BASEGATE YOKOHAMA KANNAI, scheduled for grand opening in spring 2026, the DeNA Group will directly operate two facilities, leveraging the insight, knowhow, and technology we have built up throughout the DeNA Group not only in our Sports Business but throughout our entertainment businesses. We aim for BASEGATE YOKOHAMA KANNAI, as well as our direct operations Wonderia and THE LIVE, to inspire visitors to come to the area.
Please see below for more information about our directly-operated facilities.

■ Wonderia: Edutainment** Facility to Immersively Experience Stunning Scenery and Unknown Creatures

Facility Name & Logo Statement
As this facility will use projection mapping and other technologies to create an immersive space, we decided to name this imaginary beautiful island “Wonderia.” Wonderia incorporates the word “wonder” to signify the surprise and curiosity when finding something beautiful or new, while “-ria” is an ending signifying a country or region. In the facility logo there are many colors harmonizing with nature, conveying a sense of the diversity of life on the beautiful island of Wonderia.

Providing Surprise & Insight Through a Fusion of Play and Technology in Entertainment
Visitors will be able to move through six zones on the island of Wonderia and see stunning scenery as well as meet unknown creatures. There are also plans to incorporate knowhow from the DeNA Game Business in the form of gamification, such as by making it possible to access information about the environment and creatures by viewing the space through a smartphone camera. This novel entertainment experience will enable visitors to enjoy an immersive space, to be surprised, moved, and come away with new insight. 

■ THE LIVE: One of the Largest Permanent Live Viewing Arenas in Japan

Facility Name & Logo Statement
This facility named “THE LIVE” will be a permanent live viewing arena, among the largest in Japan, boasting a large LED screen with a width of approx. 18 meters and a height of approx. 8 meters. To signify excellence and uniqueness we have included “THE,” and “LIVE” stands for the live viewing that will leverage the large LED screen that is the main characteristic of this facility.
The facility logo incorporates a square motif that symbolizes the cheering, celebrating, laughing, singing, eating, and talking that can all be experienced at this facility, as well as symbolizing the large screen that is a major characteristic of the facility. The design also expresses the authentic moments that can be experienced at this facility run by the Yokohama DeNA BayStars. 

Creating a Space to Enjoy Various Entertainments with Approx. 18 Meter Wide by 8 Meter Tall Large LED Screen & High Performance Sound System
The facility will have an approx. 18 meter wide & 8 meter tall large LED screen and a high performance sound system to deliver an exciting, life-like environment. Not only will DeNA BayStars home games be shown, but also visitor games, basketball, soccer, and other sports games as well as live music performances and other content. By providing a diverse range of content, we will be able to create a space that encourages people to come to the Kannai area often, not just on the approx. 70 days per year when professional baseball games are held in Yokohama Stadium.

Eight Restaurants & Bar Counter Available to Provide a New Kind of Entertainment to Enjoy
The CENTRAL BAR, featuring eight restaurants and a bar counter, will be set up in the area encircling the large LED screen. Visitors will be able to enjoy a wide variety of food and drink while the live viewing is underway, offering a new kind of entertainment to enjoy that differs from the stadium or other live venues.
