With an English-speaking guide who’s just as enthusiastic about baseball as the crowd around you, you’ll dive into the sport’s history and unique cheering culture. In a small group, you’ll pick up team chants and anthems, joining in as the stadium comes alive. Whether you’re a lifelong baseball fan or just curious to see what makes the game so special in Japan, this is a uniquely Japanese cultural experience—and an unforgettable way to be part of the action.

Baseball (commonly called yakyū in Japanese) was first introduced to Japan in 1872 with professional competitions starting in the 1920s. It is now the country’s most popular sport and the current league (Nippon Professional Baseball) consists of two leagues of 6 teams each.

Attending a baseball game in Japan is more than just a sporting event—it’s a unique introduction to modern Japanese culture. Many say that Japanese baseball has a completely different atmosphere compared to other countries, including the U.S., where baseball is also a national pastime. Here, the cheering is not only passionate and energetic but also remarkably organized and respectful, creating an electric yet harmonious experience.

On this Baseball Experience tour, you’ll watch a live game alongside a knowledgeable local guide who is both an expert and a devoted fan. Learn what makes Japanese baseball so special, from the coordinated chants and anthems to the deep-rooted traditions that set it apart. Whether you’re a die-hard baseball fan or just looking for an unforgettable cultural experience, this tour is a perfect way to immerse yourself in the excitement of the game.
