Osaka Alternative Japanese Baseball Tour


Japan

Aug. 15-23, 2025

Koshien National High School Baseball Championship and Alternative Japanese Baseball

This new tour takes place entirely in the Kansai region of Japan and focuses on Japan’s alternative baseball scene, highlighted by the iconic Koshien National High School Baseball Championship. You’ll keep home base at one Osaka hotel and spoke out to different events in the greater Osaka metropolitan area.

In addition to attending the famous Koshien boys’ championship tournament, we’ll also attend the girls high school baseball championship, an NPB minor league game in Japan’s newest professional ballpark, an independent league game, and a sumo wrestling show. And—yes—we’ll catch one NPB game as well – how could we not?

Please be warned that due to our reliance on public transportation and the inherent “walkability” of Japan’s cities, tour guests do a lot of walking on our Japan tours. Many guests average about 12,000 steps per day on their step trackers.
