Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame, Baseball museum in Bunkyo, Japan
The Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame fills two levels inside the Tokyo Dome with jerseys, gloves, bats and balls spanning more than a century of professional play in Japan. Large photographs and interactive screens walk visitors through championship seasons and player careers.
The museum opened in 1959 beside Korakuen Stadium and moved to the new Tokyo Dome in 1988, gaining twice the floor space for displays. The relocation allowed a fuller presentation of league growth and regional teams.
The museum honors players, executives, and umpires who shaped Japanese baseball, requiring nominees to receive 75 percent of electoral votes for induction.
Entry to the museum is through the Tokyo Dome gates, with signage directing visitors to the exhibition floors above. A library holding books and magazines is available for deeper research, though advance booking is required.
A memorial section honors baseball players who died in World War II, with plaques added in 1981 and 2005. This quiet corner links the sport to national history and is often overlooked by visitors focused on the display cases.
