Hanshin Koshien Stadium

Reviewed By geoffrey_matt - Hobart, Australia

This is a must do experience if you like sports at all. Japanese baseball is huge fun, and totally family friendly. There’s no aggressive people here like in other countries. The great thing, other than the baseball itself, is the crowd. There are special songs for each player, and the whole crowd knows them all. So when a batter steps up the whole stadium starts singing his song, which is awesome. I recommend you go to the team store first and get a pair of the plastic bashing sticks, then you can bash the rhythm out with everyone else! You can also get some of the balloons which get let off en masse at the 7th innings. There’s also food in the stadium which is pretty standard, so hot dogs, chips, popcorn etc. There are girls walking around all the time selling beer at your seat, which is also fun. The Tigers are one of the best teams in Japan so the game is typically really good too, and it’s not too costly. If you go to the Koshien Stadium website there’s and English guide to buying tickets, which we did and worked pretty well. The only issue you might have is if you ask for 2 tickets in a specific area, they might not be able to find two free seats beside each other. That case isn’t described in the English guide but it’s not too hard to figure out. Overall I couldn’t recommend this enough, please go, it’s brilliant

Fukuoka Yahuoku! Dome

Reviewed By Justbackandlovedit - Dublin, Ireland

The devotion of the fans is simply great and I found this possibly even more entertaining than any visit to an American baseball stadium. The food was delicious and the beer girls were very friendly and efficient. We got our tickets through Klook and were guided to our seats. Highly recommended if you're in Fukuoka!

MetLife Dome

Reviewed By Raiderbankk - Penarth, United Kingdom

A couple of train stops from Nishi Tokorozawa you really must visit this dome in the baseball season. It is the home of the Seibu Lions in the Pacific Baseball League (which incidentally they won this year). The atmosphere in this dome is electric. The Japanese sports enthusiasts really take their baseball very seriously. There are plentiful for and beverage outlets and also mobile waitresses who can serve you beer or whisky highballs at your seat. Highly recommended and close to Seibu amusement park. You can get your tickets from the Seibu store near Tokorozawa station. Expect to pay Yen 2500 to 3000 9 (about $25).
