Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame

History

The Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame was established in 1959. They inducted nine members in the first class. It was originally located next door to Korakuen Stadium, then-home for the Tokyo Giants and Kokutetsu Swallows of the Central League and the Mainichi Orions of the Pacific League. Following the closure of Korakuen Stadium in 1988, the Hall moved to its current location within the Tokyo Dome, the stadium built as Korakuen's successor and the Giants' subsequent home.

Individuals are primarily inducted as members of the Japanese Baseball Hall after gaining at least 75% of votes on a ballot of players or expert voters. The Hall's special committee is also able to elect and induct other individuals deemed to have a notable connection to the sport, such as composer Yuji Koseki, who was inducted in 2023 for his creation of the Hanshin Tigers cheer song "Rokko Oroshi."

The museum

The Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame's museum depicts numerous artifacts and moments from Japanese baseball history, ranging from uniforms of each team, that has played in the Central and Pacific Leagues, in addition to American baseball memorabilia, such as that of Ken Griffey Jr. and Babe Ruth. The uniform of Sadaharu Oh alongside the home run bats and balls in his career, most notably the bat for his 800th home run, are also on display.

As of 2024, days of operation for the museum were Tuesday through Sunday (except for December 29-January 1) for most weeks, with Mondays only being open during spring and summer school vacations, national holidays that fell on the day or games when the Yomiuri Giants play at the Tokyo Dome. Operating hours are 10am until 5pm, with Giants games extending the time to 6pm. Admission costs are 600 yen per adult, 400 yen for students over 15, 200 yen for students 15 or under and 400 yen for people aged 65 or older.
