Top Baseball Spots in Japan

Consider bringing your own snacks and drinks. Concession prices are a bit steep, and the food options can be limited. Plus, you won't have to deal with long lines!

grab your tickets online ahead of time, i saved a bunch and avoided long lines at the ticket booth! just make sure to check their website for any promo codes.

Plan to arrive around noon for the afternoon games. You’ll get a good spot and the pre-game activities were a blast!

I think the standing areas are a great way to save money, but be careful – it gets rowdy! If you want a more relaxed vibe, book a seat in the upper stands where you still get a fantastic view

If you're planning to eat at the Dome, avoid the fast food stands, as they can get really packed. I found that the food stalls just outside the stadium had less wait and great local flavors. Yum!

I recommend checking out the local baseball merchandise store. You can find cute souvenirs and sometimes even better prices than in tourist shops. I scored a cool cap for way less than I expected!

I suggest arriving at least an hour before the game starts. The atmosphere before the match is really lively, plus you can grab some street food and take photos without the crowds. It's totally worth it.

I recommend bringing a water bottle, since they didn't sell water at the concert I attended! It's really hot in Nagoya, so staying hydrated is key.

I think the climate control could be better. Just in case, wear light clothing in case it’s hot inside. You don’t want to be sweating the whole time!

If you're catching a game I suggest arriving around 30 minutes early. That way you can grab some food and find your seats without rushing. Trust me you don’t want to miss any action.

If you're on a budget, I suggest bringing your own snacks. You can save a ton of money instead of buying everything there, which can be pretty pricey.

Don't forget to wear sunscreen, even if it’s cloudy! I got sunburned sitting there for just a few hours - that was no fun!

If you can, try to sit behind home plate for the best view. I sat on the side once and felt like I missed a lot of the game action.

Check out local food stalls outside the stadium. I found some amazing takoyaki for way cheaper than inside! My advice is to try something local rather than just grab a hot dog

I suggest grabbing some food at the local stands within the stadium. The prices are way better than outside, and the local snacks are delish! Just try the fried squid; it’s a must

My advice is to arrive by around 5 PM if it’s an evening game, the pre-game atmosphere is super fun with live music and food stalls. Plus, you won’t miss any of the action.
