    This Is so cool! While stationed In Iwakuni In 1978-1979, I was able to see a few games In Hiroshima. One of my Brothers recently mentioned seeing Pro baseball In Japan. After watching this video, I would love to see baseball In Japan again. GO CARP!

    The Nippon-Ham Fighters, Japan's northernmost baseball team, of which Ohtani was a member, opened a new stadium this year. The Hanshin Tigers, the team that Shintaro Fujinami recently joined from the Athletics to the Orioles, is known for its unique team and fans. Their stadium, Koshien Stadium, is about 100 years old and their fans are known to be very passionate and unique.

    Been enjoying your content for 2 years now. The only stadium that you really need to check out is the Hanshin Koshien Stadium. If you could catch a Tigers game there and visit the museum. It would be an amazing experience. The 105th summer high school tournament is going to happen on August 6. And I can definitely guarantee you that it's not your average high school baseball game.

    Great baseball trip to Japan! Same happened to me at the Tokyo Dome back in May. Caught a BP homer, and the security guy was on me in seconds, and took the ball out of my glove. I think that is normal... and similarly it was the Carp BP, but the ball had a Yomiuri Giants stamp on it. They must get used throughout the season. If you are ever back, I recommend going to the Hanshin Koshien stadium to see a Tigers game. Great atmosphere.

    Really interesting and cool video, guys! I love your guys’ passion for baseball and I am glad you had the opportunity to check out and get to experience some of the NPB Games! It is really interesting to see the routines that the fans have and how the culture in Japan plays into baseball, and what the stadiums look like compared to ones here in the U.S. It has been a dream of mine to check out professional baseball stadiums from all around the world including here! You also did a great job of getting nice shots of some of the items in the Carps’ museum which I thought was pretty cool. I truly enjoy watching all of your videos and player interviews! Thank you and keep up the phenomenal work!

    Japanese "YAKYU" baseball was derived uniquely from American-style baseball and took more than 100 years to achieve.
    The fact is that on this same planet, there is another baseball that exists in a different spirit than the US style.
    Of course, the roots of baseball are USA(or UK), but baseball that was exported to other countries from USA and took root there developed in a different way. This would be a fact.
    2023 WBC was the day that ”Japanese YAKYU” defeated the home of ”American-style baseball”.
    Another way to describe this is to say that it was a battle between Japanese-style "ZEN-INーYAKYU” baseball, which emphasizes "Teamwork among all players", and American-style baseball, which emphasizes "Individual power players", and it was a day when ZEN-INーYAKYU (Teamwork-oriented organizational baseball) won.

    In 1934 Babe Ruth played at Koshien Stadium. The baseball museum in Koshien has a bat and a ball on display.

If you go directly to the stadium, there is a ticket office, so it would be a good idea to go to the stadium and ask the staff for advice when you arrive in Japan. Enjoy:D
