Lonely Planet review for Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum
Gung-ho baseball fans will not want to miss the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum, which chronicles baseball’s rise from a hobby imported by an American teacher in 1872 to the national obsession it’s become. From the establishment of college and professional baseball leagues in 1922 to the Japanese team winning the bronze medal at the 2004 Olympics, this museum walks you through the Japanese incarnation of the sport. Be sure to pick up the comprehensive English-language pamphlet. The entrance to the museum is adjacent to Gate 21 of the Tokyo Dome.
