Essential Cities and Ballparks!
Experience:
- Six NPB games at six different stadiums, including some of Japan’s best and most historic ballparks.
- Stays and sightseeing in three of Japan’s world-class cities.
- Visits to the Sadaharu Oh Museum, Japanese Baseball HOF, and more.
- A sumo wrestling lunch show, one of our guests’ favorite activities.
And let’s not forget perhaps the two best parts – delicious Japanese food and drink, and the camaraderie of fellow adventurous baseball lovers!
Baseball highlights include games at hitter-friendly Fukuoka PayPay Dome (home of the SoftBank Hawks), JapanBaller-favorite Mazda Zoom-Zoom Stadium (home of the Hiroshima Toyo Carp), and four stadiums in the greater Tokyo area: the world-famous Tokyo Dome, historic Meiji Jingu Stadium, oceanside ZOZO Marine Stadium, and umbrella-topped Belluna Dome.

This tour can be combined on the front end with NPB Tour Segment 1 (making it the discounted NPB Full Tour) and on the back end with our South Korea Tour.
This tour may be very physically demanding for some guests. Due to our reliance on public transportation and the inherent “walkability” of Japan’s cities, many guests average about 12,000 steps per day on their step trackers. We will change hotels several times via long and/or early-morning train rides. All guests must be able to carry/roll their own luggage during train transfers for about 1/3 mile (including up and down flights of stairs), and also lift their bags to the overhead space on trains. If you expect to have any difficulties, we recommend that you consider the Tokyo NPB Tour.

We recommend arriving one day early to give your body time to rest, adjust to the time change, and ensure that you arrive in time for the welcome dinner. We would be happy to reserve your hotel for an additional night.

We love international baseball, but some of the gems of the global circuit are right in our backyard. Baseball is “America’s Favorite Pastime,” after all!
