Baseball Experience with Yomiuri Giants
16,500
Baseball is Japan’s national sport and is so popular that it’s often difficult to snag tickets. Book your tickets in advance through Japan Awaits and enjoy the game with locals!
Baseball (commonly called yakyū in Japanese) was first introduced to Japan in 1872 with professional competitions starting in the 1920s. It is now the country’s most popular sport and the current league (Nippon Professional Baseball) consists of two leagues of 6 teams each.
Attending a baseball game in Tokyo is a great experience and introduction to modern Japanese culture. Many say that Japanese baseball culture is very different than other cultures, including that of America, where baseball is also a national sport. While the rallying and cheering in Japanese baseball is passionate and cheerful, it is also known to be respectful and organized–and is an absolute delight to be a part of.
In this Baseball Experience tour, enjoy a baseball game with a local tour guide who is also an expert and fan of Japanese baseball. Learn about what makes Japanese baseball so interesting and fun, while learning the chants to support the Yomiuri Giants team!
