Transformational Sports Travel
For over 25 years, JapanBall has been synonymous with connecting baseball enthusiasts with unique cultural experiences in Japan. As our journey evolved, we recognized a growing demand to expand beyond Japan and offer a broader range of international travel opportunities.
This inspired the expansion of Extra Innings Travel—a brand that embraces our roots while extending the spirit of adventure to new destinations around the globe. Hear more about our new brand from Shane Barclay, owner of JapanBall and Extra Innings Travel.
