I ended up spending ¥800 for a beer at the Yomiuri Giants game, but when the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters played a few home games at the “Big Egg” they were selling their Hokkaido Punch for only ¥500. It was really good, and so was the yakisoba.
the intensity from the fans reminds me of my high school days. Imagine 8000 people at a high school game. It happened a lot for my school especially when we played our best rival (well pretty much every team in our city). That's why I want to play in Japan because the fans have that same energy.
@@samuelandaudrey It was a great experience. Search up "Corpus Christi Moody Baseball" if you have the chance. Especially the Moody vs Calallan games. Thanks for commenting 🤗
I am so happy to see you enjoying the baseball game in Japan. I am a fan of Yakult swallows and I believe you were surprised seeing cheering songs, umbrella, variety of food, and so on. Japanese baseball is very fun! These days, I see many people from other countries come to the stadium. I hope you come here again!!
@@samuelandaudrey It was for Sociology and they had to use this video to identify the differences between Japanese and American baseball based on cultural backgrounds of the individual.
I'm soooo happy your this video cause I'm huge fan of japanese baseball⚾️ Recently so many foreigners come to Japan,but hardly known about japanese baseball. its a lot of fun place,I want to be known for foreign people,especially US guys❗️
This is amazing! I love baseball and its so interesting to see the baseball experience in other countries! Very similar to Korea. Thank you for bringing us along! Fascinating! And finally GO Cubs Goooooooooo!
I went to a game last yr (September) and the same teams were playing! I don't know anything about baseball but it was the highlight of my trip! I recommend it to everyone now. We caught a bus from shinjuku and then went to the ticket sales box and got their cheapest tickets (GA) You can also bring your own food and alcohol, they just transfer your cans in to plastic cups. Again, it's a MUST do for anyone. Amazing atmosphere
We managed to have the same experience last summer and it was wonderful, we even saw them play the Giants. One interesting fact, which isn't mentioned and I found fascinating was that you can bring your own food and drinks. There were huge lines at all the combinis in the area with all the locals shopping :-) The only thing they request from you is to pour the beer (or any drinks) into cups, which they provide you themselves.
@@samuelandaudrey I don't even remember how we found out about it :-) The match itself became one of the unexpected highlights of our trip, I'd recommend to anyone. Actually had the same problem with buying a cap as well, ended up buying a t-shirt several blocks away. Looking forward to your next videos,you guys do a great job and we use your videos as references when travelling :-)
Sam you did a great job. I did not know Tokyo had baseball teams and its weird depending who your team is you go to different sections. what a huge burger you ate looked good
I saw three games at three stadiums on my first trip to Japan. I recommend a game for any sports fans. Swallows play at an old stadium but it's all about what goes on inside. Beer girls, organized fan cheering, horns and drums, it all has its own original flavor.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos - Yokohama seemed like the most modern. Tokyo dome was like taking a time machine to see what the Astrodome might have been like in the 1970s. My favorite was the Swallows stadium because it seemed older and more intimate. They had a practice field close by that you could see the players warming up in. Then the players walked over to the stadium and you got to see them walking (a couple riding bikes) amongst the fans right into stadium. Would never see that in the US.
Hey! Heading on a 10-Day Japan trip at the end of the month. Was lucky enough to snatch tickets for both the Giants and Swallows. Extremely looking forward to the experiences!!!!! Also #GingersUnite
Well the experience is great for sure i have myself been to many Lions game at the Seibu dome it's usually not overcrowded which is something i like you can sneak in the lower levels. But alas despite all the great energy it's the same problem in japan... baseball is experiencing a sharp decline in popularity.
Sam ... and they all help clean up after the game ... bizarre culture ... would never happen in Oz nor Canada I assume ... great vlog mate ... miss Auds
Just discovered your videos and I definitely have to subscribe now, especially since I’m a lifelong diehard Cubs fan. How many people noticed that you were wearing a Cubs shirt to the game in Japan?
Looks like the uniforms are modelled on US uniforms and logos. The Dragons look like the Dodgers. Obviously you've got the Giants, too. Are they rivals like in the US? I wonder why they chose this?
Yeah, I love how they keep it affordable for the blue-collar salary person in Japan! It has become so expensive to watch major sports like baseball, hockey, basketball, football in USA/Canada.
Hi Sam , great video as always! I'm headed to Tokyo in late April and would love to see a game can you or anyone out there recommend the best way to get tickets ahead of time? Thanks and looking forward to your South American videos!
Thanks Julie! That is exciting to hear. We used this site to book our tickets: www.viagogo.com/au/Sports-Tickets/Baseball/Nippon-Professional-Baseball/Tokyo-Yakult-Swallows-Tickets
Great video! I love how affordable the stadium food is compared to the states! I’m thinking of going to a game in June in either Tokyo or Osaka. What website did you use to buy your tickets?
Thanks so much for the suggestion! After believing that all tickets were sold out or too $$$ I was able to find 2 tickets through viagogo for a Giants game! My husband is excited for the game, I’m excited for the food! :D
I like how they are all unique in design and also in dimensions. Most other sports have standardized features but each stadium has its own unique attributes.
Professional baseball in Japan is very interesting, and above all, I think that it's a wonderful place in professional baseball in Japan that players and fans can be united. I am a fan of the Yomiuri Giants. The recommended player is Kazuma Okamoto, the batting player. Please continue to love Japanese professional baseball.
When it comes to actual swallows vs. dragons, dragons would win every time. Unless the swallow, being smaller and quicker, could find a place to hide from the dragon. Just a random thought.
プロ野球見てくれるってなんか嬉しいな

That is interesting to hear! 300 more per beer for those games. Mmmm...yakisoba sounds delicious.
Looks fun & nice place to just chill , have cold beers and soak In the atmosphere
I dont think Sam stopped at two ... as neither would I
Indeed, John! I had a great time.
Give props to the beer girls that carry the mini beer kegs on their backs. You can also bring in your own food.
Huge props to them for carrying that all game long. Didn't know you could bring your own food.

Welcome to Jingu stadium!!
The food I recommend for the stadium is a winner box!!
Thank you very much! I had so much fun at the game and the food was tasty.
わたしは一度セーフコフィールドで野球を観戦して、そのときはアメリカの応援団とかはなくてみんなでひたすら応援するっていうのを楽しく感じたのですが、海外の方からすると日本の応援方法も面白く感じるんですね。どっちもそれぞれに良いところがあって好きです。
ありがとうございました！それは両国の野球を説明する良い方法です。異なる体験ですが、どれも楽しいです。
Thanks from Japan 🇯🇵

Sam you did a great job. I did not know Tokyo had baseball teams and its weird depending who your team is you go to different sections. what a huge burger you ate looked good
It's the same in America, you sit on the side of whatever team you support. If your team is on the first plate side dugout, you sit on that side.
Thanks Effie! The burger was great.
They sure like baseball ⚾️
Indeed Michael!
Every songs sounds like a intro of anime 😂😂 i love it!! One day i’ll be there
I’m a big fan of Chunichi Dragons! Hope you enjoyed the game :)
That's very cool to hear! Who is your fav player on the team right now?
Wow this is just as electric as a world cup match. Cool.
The crowd is just as fun as the game!

Great as always. One question Sam. As much as we love your Gingery Goodness, where is your lovely other half hiding these days? x
Thanks Paul! She's traveling with me in Argentina. We're filming a whole new series of videos right now.
I’m going to Tokyo in April and my dream is to go to a baseball game !!
Enjoy! Their baseball games are a lot of fun!
Loved the happy vibes 🥰

So exciting to hear Steven! Hahaha....#GingersUnite
Now these concessions put the US to shame!
Indeed! Both in terms of selection and prices.
Well the experience is great for sure i have myself been to many Lions game at the Seibu dome it's usually not overcrowded which is something i like you can sneak in the lower levels.

NOT if they don't have Mexican food!
Sam ... and they all help clean up after the game ... bizarre culture ... would never happen in Oz nor Canada I assume ... great vlog mate ... miss Auds
Thanks Peter! Hahaha...definitely wouldn't happen in Canada
Tokyo Giants are equivalent to the Yankees and White Sox and the Swallows are the Mets and the Cubs.
Ah, that is a good way of explaining it Maurice!
OMG guys Shake Shack again. Never tired to see a masterpiece burger.
Hehehe...thank you! I couldn't help myself ;)
the diamond vision was exported to the u.s. from this country
Go Cubs! Hope you visit Chicago and do a video in wrigley trying the food!
Oh man, I would love to do that soon Scott!
Just discovered your videos and I definitely have to subscribe now, especially since I’m a lifelong diehard Cubs fan. How many people noticed that you were wearing a Cubs shirt to the game in Japan?
Thank you! A couple people noticed from what I remember. Hoping to head back to Wrigley Field again soon to watch another game.
Looks like the uniforms are modelled on US uniforms and logos. The Dragons look like the Dodgers. Obviously you've got the Giants, too. Are they rivals like in the US? I wonder why they chose this?
Nice!!!🍺🍺🍺
Thanks Suay!
I'm so glad you did a video by yourself without your wife hogging the camera and barley letting you speak. You did a good job
It was fun to watch a game
Loved the video, korean baseball is amazing, but as an italian this pizza at 5:40 had me dying
Hehehe...that wouldn't pass in Italy no doubt!
I want that burger (Shake Shack)!
Wish we could share with you James!
Great atmosphere mate!!! love that they bring the beer over to you🍺 Hope you guys are doing well?🙂🙂
Thank you very much! Cheers to you!
And it’s on draft... I need to go there haha
Next time, please visit Chiba Lotte Marines game. I'm sure you'll be amazed with their atmosphere.
Thanks! Hope we can!
You said Hanshin Tigers to be the Hanshin Electric team, but that is a mistake. The correct team is Hanshin Electric Railway.
Thank you for correcting me on that.

can you plz suggest which months r best to travel tokyo japan
Thanks Sairupa! I would suggest spring or fall months not summer.

wow thankyou will travel in fall this year u guys inspired me more to travel japan ty😊
Where did you book the tickets? (:
We used this site:
www.viagogo.com/au/Sports-Tickets/Baseball/Nippon-Professional-Baseball/Tokyo-Yakult-Swallows-Tickets
@@samuelandaudrey oh okay. Thankyou. Here viagogo is known as a website with a lot of scam artists 😅 So will use another website (:
Y cuando van a Argentina?
Estamos visitando Argentina ahora.
@@samuelandaudrey ok gracias por tu respuesta 😉
Once the Coronavirus has settled down a bit, there are many other good baseball fields, so please go there!
so for a little over $20 you get a ticket, beer, and food. Meanwhile here in the states you might get a beer for that amount
Yeah, I love how they keep it affordable for the blue-collar salary person in Japan! It has become so expensive to watch major sports like baseball, hockey, basketball, football in USA/Canada.
Thank you very much for enjoy watching baseball in Japan. Please be a Chunichi Dragons Fan!

that pizza at 11:00 looks worse than 7/11 or dominos.
We didn't love pizza in Japan to be honest. Yeah, I would say dominos is better.
What’s Japanese food do you like?
We like most of it to be honest!
there's something about open baseball stadiums.... so much fun. Dome is nice and weather proof but nowhere near as these!
That is why most MLB stadiums are open stadiums and also why we have the best baseball stadiums in the world
I like how they are all unique in design and also in dimensions. Most other sports have standardized features but each stadium has its own unique attributes.
That is so true!
