Every bag is checked
Tokyo Dome has bag inspection at every entrance gate. Staff look inside your bag visually — it's quick (10-20 seconds) but you need to open your bag. Plan accordingly if you have a complicated zipper situation.
What passes security
Portable chargers and power banks: yes. Cameras (DSLR, mirrorless, compact): yes. PET bottles (500ml or less, with cap): usually yes. Small food items and snacks: yes. Plastic megaphones and cheering goods: yes. Binoculars: yes. Blankets and cushions: yes.
What gets stopped
Cans and glass bottles: confiscated at the gate. You can transfer your drink into a paper cup provided by security. Tripods and selfie sticks: not allowed. Long umbrellas: stored at the gate or refused. Laser pointers, fireworks: obviously no.
Speeding through
Arrive early (gates open 90 minutes before first pitch). Choose gates farther from the main entrance — they're less crowded. Have your bag partially open as you approach. Don't bury prohibited items deep in your bag — if security finds a can at the bottom, it delays everyone behind you.
Pro tip
Buy drinks inside the stadium or from vending machines in the Tokyo Dome City complex before entering. Draft beer from seat vendors is ¥800-900 but saves you carrying anything through security.
How to buy tickets
Giants tickets are available through Klook with English support and international card acceptance. Have your e-ticket ready on your phone before joining the security line.
