You’ll recognize the playing field, but that’s about it! Commentators cite how the player’s blood type impacts his performance; the players’ windups and batting stances are feats of balance and coordination; the crowd is LOUD and feverish, but disciplined and in-sync; umpires practice calls during pre-game warm-ups; delicious food is meticulously prepared and eaten with chopsticks; the beer is served at your seat, on draft, at a fair price, and with a smile from one of Japan’s famous beer girls.

Join us to experience Japanese culture through baseball. Whether you prefer to keep a base in Tokyo, traverse Japan to see all 12 NPB ballparks, or anything in between, we’ve got the tour for you!

Okinawa Spring Training: February 2025

Baseball in February is great. Baseball in February on a tropical, historic Japanese island is the best. Escape the winter with our Okinawa Spring Training Tour! NPB Spring Training harkens back to the days before the Cactus and Grapefruit Leagues became commercialized and crowded with tourists. We’ll see lots of baseball while also enjoying the rich and unique culture of the island.
