Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame

The Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame occupies two floors within Tokyo Dome, displaying uniforms, equipment, photographs, and statistical records from professional leagues.

The institution opened in 1959 near Korakuen Stadium before relocating to Tokyo Dome in 1988, doubling its exhibition space for baseball memorabilia.

The museum honors players, executives, and umpires who shaped Japanese baseball, requiring nominees to receive 75 percent of electoral votes for induction.

Visitors can access a collection of 50,000 items including books and magazines in the library, though advance reservations remain necessary for research purposes.

The facility includes a memorial dedicated to baseball players who lost their lives during World War II, with monuments added in 1981 and 2005.
