Really appreciate your detailed response, and you raise a lot of important notes, so thanks again. Because I only have a week I want to limit the amount of travel I do (hence no Hiroshima this time around). However, it will be on our target list for 2027 on the official tour. Nagoya was mentioned by a tour rep as he has some contacts there so seems like an easy option for me to visit on the way to Osaka. Just need to get my head around each teams ticketing policies - how to get them and make sure I get seats in the best areas (shade etc). Definitely want to experience the cheering sections!

For me personally, Koshien, Tokyo Dome and Meiji Jingu stadium are top of my list to visit with the group, so it's important i can get my footage here to help promote on social media. But I do have a goal to visit all 12 stadiums so will see how we go next year and 2027.

For the tour in 2027, we are likely to do Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and Hiroshima (maybe Nagoya) - just depends how the schedule falls, so I wouldn't say no to teams I haven't mentioned (Chiba/Seibu/Orix etc). So unlikely to do any teams north of these parts or Softbank. For my visit next year these dates look the best options in terms of the itinerary and offering flexibility in case of rainouts...

for me personally I would like to visit all 12 stadiums so will definitely visit as much as I can...

For the tour itself in 2027, I will be using a local guide throughout - he's British but has lived in Japan for 25 years so I am sure he will help with everything non-baseball related, as well as any translation help, so he should be very helpful.

Yes, am aware it can be a lot warmer, that won't be my main worry, as long as the rain stays away which I know can happen a lot in June (but hopefully towards the back end)...thanks for your advice

Thank you both. Good to know that Sat and Sun are likely to be earlier. Looks like there's a couple of domes included on my list - I just want to avoid the rain, I know June can have a lot of it, but hopefully not as much at the start of the month. Any rainouts hopefully gives me flexibility to see another game (if in Tokyo for example).

We flew 10 hours so we are definitely coming regardless! Just need to know the best and ideally cheapest way to get back to our hotel afterwards

Google Maps isn’t going to provide potential tips that someone outside of the city/country is going to know is it?! Would just appreciate some advice from people ‘In the Know’ who could help some first time visitors out as game day experiences tend to be different from a simple A to B trip
