Outdoor baseball in the heart of Tokyo
Meiji Jingu Stadium sits in the Shibuya/Aoyama area — one of Tokyo's trendiest neighborhoods. Unlike the climate-controlled Tokyo Dome, Jingu offers open-air baseball with the Tokyo sky above you and a cold craft beer in your hand.
The umbrella dance
When the Swallows score, every fan pulls out a small plastic umbrella and twirls it while singing "Tokyo Ondo." It's one of NPB's most iconic celebrations and an unforgettable sight. Buy a mini umbrella at the stadium shop to join in.
Craft beer paradise
Jingu Stadium has one of the best craft beer selections in Japanese sports. IPAs, pale ales, wheat beers — the variety rivals any craft beer bar. Sipping an IPA while watching baseball under the open sky is peak Tokyo.
