2024 Okinawa Spring Training Tour Recap and Photo Log
Our 2024 Okinawan spring training tour was an unforgettable blend of baseball, culture, and history! We witnessed Roki Sasaki in action during workouts, watched thrilling games at iconic ballparks like Okinawa Cellular Stadium and Koza Shinkan Ballpark, and even got a private Q&A with Matt Winters. Beyond baseball, we explored Okinawa’s rich heritage with visits to Shuri Castle and the Tsushima-maru Memorial Museum, learning about the island’s deep cultural and wartime history. From savoring Okinawan soba and awamori tastings to mingling with fans and players, every moment on this adventure was filled with excitement, connection, and discovery!
