About The Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum Ticket
The Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum was founded in 1959 at the original Korakuen Stadium and relocated to its current home inside the Tokyo Dome in 1988 — Japan's answer to Cooperstown, dedicated to preserving every chapter of baseball's extraordinary journey from the Meiji-era schools where an American teacher first introduced the game in 1872 to the present day of Shohei Ohtani, Ichiro Suzuki, and Samurai Japan's greatest triumphs on the world stage.
The museum's collection spans the full breadth of Japanese baseball culture — NPB team memorabilia from all 12 current clubs, historic uniforms and equipment from celebrated eras of professional baseball, Koshien high school tournament artefacts, women's baseball displays, Olympic baseball history, and an extraordinary series of items documenting the deeply intertwined relationship between Japanese and American baseball. Babe Ruth's 1934 Japan tour poster, bats used by Jackie Robinson and Hank Aaron, a cap worn by Ken Griffey Jr, tickets to historic Japan-US exhibition games, and extensive collections of Ichiro Suzuki and Shohei Ohtani memorabilia all appear alongside Japan's own legends — Sadaharu Oh, Shigeo Nagashima, and Randy Bass among them. Ichiro Suzuki was inducted into the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame in 2025, adding his name to the Hall of Plaques alongside the greatest players in the game's Japanese history.
The museum is navigable in approximately one hour for casual visitors, and two hours or more for those who want to absorb every exhibit. An English-language map and guide are provided at the entrance and QR codes throughout the exhibits link to English-language explanations — making it far more accessible for international visitors than the predominantly Japanese labelling suggests. A small theatre screens footage from classic Japanese baseball games, and the interactive virtual batting exhibit allows visitors to face digital pitches from legendary Japanese players.

Insiders' Tips
Pick up the English-language map at the entrance before starting and use the QR codes throughout the exhibits — without them, many exhibits are Japanese-language only and important context is easily missed. The Hall of Plaques room is the most atmospheric section of the entire museum — allowing time to browse the inductees at a relaxed pace rather than rushing through to the memorabilia displays. If you are visiting on a Tokyo Dome game day, the museum stays open until 6:00 PM

His 2025 induction plaque joins the Hall of Plaques alongside Japan's greatest players of all time.
Is the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum accessible for non-Japanese speakers?
Yes — an English-language map and guide are provided at the entrance, and QR codes throughout the exhibits link to English-language explanations of key displays. Most exhibit labelling is in Japanese only, making the English map and QR code system essential for international visitors who want the full context of each display.
What is the virtual batting exhibit at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum?
The interactive virtual batting exhibit allows visitors to take a swing at a digital pitch from famous Japanese players — a hands-on and consistently popular experience particularly with younger visitors and children. It is located within the museum's permanent collection area and is included with standard admission.
How long does a visit to the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum take?
Casual visitors can complete a comfortable tour in approximately 60 minutes, while dedicated baseball fans who want to read the exhibit information thoroughly and spend time in the Hall of Plaques and memorabilia galleries can easily spend two or more hours. The museum is compact but genuinely rich in content for visitors who engage with the English-language materials provided.
Does the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum have Shohei Ohtani memorabilia?
Yes — the museum displays memorabilia from Shohei Ohtani's career alongside items representing other Japanese players who have starred in both NPB and Major League Baseball. The transpacific exchange between Japanese and American baseball is a significant theme throughout the museum's permanent collection.
Is the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum open on Tokyo Dome game days?
Yes — the museum remains open until 6:00 PM on Tokyo Dome game days rather than the standard 5:00 PM closing time, making it an ideal pre-game activity for visitors attending an NPB game. Combining a museum visit with an evening Yomiuri Giants game at Tokyo Dome is one of the most complete Japanese baseball experiences available in a single day.

The museum is located inside the Tokyo Dome building at 1-3-61 Koraku, Bunkyo-ku — a 5-minute walk from Suidobashi Station West Exit on the JR Chuo/Sobu Line, a 5-minute walk from Korakuen Station on the Tokyo Metro Marunouchi and Namboku Lines, and a 5-minute walk from Kasuga Station Exit 6 on the Toei Oedo Line.
Do I need to book Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum tickets in advance?
Advance booking is recommended, particularly during NPB season from March to October when Tokyo Dome game days bring significantly higher visitor numbers to the surrounding complex.

The museum is closed on December 29 to January 1 — always confirm the museum is open on your intended visit date before booking.
