Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum

Kōrakuen & Akihabara


How did baseball come to be a Japanese obsession? This museum chronicles baseball’s rise from a hobby imported by an American teacher in 1872 to the Japanese team winning the bronze medal at the 2004 Olympics. There's also a hall of fame. Diehard fans of the game will want to see it and should pick up the comprehensive English-language pamphlet.

The museum's entrance is adjacent to gate 21 of Tokyo Dome.
