Japan Baseball Tours
Extra Innings Travel is the official tour provider of JapanBall.
Baseball in Japan is more than a game—it’s a cultural experience unlike anything else in the world. The field may look familiar, but everything else is uniquely Japanese!
Since 1999, JapanBall has been connecting adventurous baseball fans with unforgettable cultural experiences throughout Japan. JapanBall’s friendly, professional team still plans and operates Extra Innings Travel tours, just under a banner that better reflects our growing international reach. 25+ years after our first JapanBall tour, our NPB tour remains our flagship offering and biggest draw due to the wonders of Japanese baseball and the country in general.
From the intricate windups and stances of the players to the commentators analyzing players’ blood types, every detail reflects a distinct culture of precision and passion. The fans are as much a part of the spectacle as the game itself—feverish yet perfectly synchronized, they cheer, sing, and chant in unison no matter the score or standings, creating an electric atmosphere throughout the entire game. The food is delicious, artfully prepared, and often enjoyed with chopsticks! Even the beer experience is unmatched—served draft-style at your seat with a smile by Japan’s iconic beer girls, all at a fair price.
