  • One thing we had to do in Japan, is experience a Japanese baseball game.

  • As a spectator, baseball in Japan is different - very, very different and in this video we're

  • going to show you a few reasons why!

  • Good evening good evening guys.

  • Hello hello.

  • Today is baseball (野球) game day.

  • It is baseball in Japan.

  • Yeah.

  • We're going to be watching a Japanese Baseball Game.

  • And it is our first time ever to do that.

  • We are watching one of the one of two local Osaka teams.

  • They are called the Hanshin Tigers (阪神タイガース).

  • And we just arrived at Koshien stadium (阪神甲子園球場).

  • As you can see I've already picked up a new hat.

  • Fancy.

  • I'm loving it and it was so easy to get our tickets.

  • We bought them online this morning.

  • Yes.

  • We just had to go on and scan in with the barcode.

  • Yeah.

  • At a machine they spitted them out.

  • They gave us real tickets.

  • Yeah.

  • And it was like I think they were it was 2,500 Yen so probably like $23 US dollars or something

  • like that.

  • So super affordable and we've also arrived with appetites so I think our first order

  • of business is going to be to grab some food.

  • TEAM SPIRIT

  • If you're going to support your team, you have to look the part.

  • I picked up a Hanshin Tigers hat, but there were far more dedicated fans with really clever

  • outfits.

  • (Anthem playing)

  • Woah!

  • We're just about to start.

  • (Fans cheering and music playing)

  • FOOD

  • Next up, food.

  • Forget popcorn and hot dogs!

  • Japanese baseball games offer an extensive food selection at great prices.

  • It's good to arrive hungry!

  • Guys check out all of the different unique things you can get here at a Japanese baseball

  • game.

  • There is an extensive menu.

  • We've got sushi, we have fried noodles, we have octopus balls.

  • A bit unusual but very tasty.

  • So we got some snacks for the game.

  • Yes.

  • We got pizza.

  • This is teriyaki pizza guys.

  • Oh.

  • And over here this one was really funny looking if I can get it open.

  • Check out that.

  • A hotdog pizza.

  • Yeah.

  • It has got a hot dog and tomatoes.

  • Yeah.

  • How is that pizza?

  • It is pretty good.

  • Wow.

  • So tell us what have you found now?

  • So moving on to round 2 of dessert.

  • I have found a chocolate churros.

  • Yes.

  • Like a crepe.

  • A stuffed dessert.

  • Stuffed pancake.

  • Wow.

  • Only at a Japanese Baseball Game.

  • Indeed.

  • BEER

  • If you want to buy beer, you wave down the 'uriko', which are the women who carry

  • beer kegs on their backs.

  • The beer at the games is surprisingly affordable too.

  • CHEER

  • When it comes to Japanese baseball (野球), something fascinating is that each player

  • has their own unique song and the crowds will sing and dance when they're up to bat.

  • (Cheering and music)

  • PLAY

  • Even if you're not a baseball fan, it's worth attending a Japanese baseball game for

  • the atmosphere.

  • The game is exciting, but the crowd's energy steals the show.

  • Fun fact: games can end in a tie.

  • That baseball game was a lot of fun.

  • If you come to Japan you definitely have to go to a Japanese Baseball Game.

One thing we had to do in Japan, is experience a Japanese baseball game.
