Baseball Queensland is excited to offer an unforgettable international baseball and cultural tour to Japan in June 2026, providing players and staff with the opportunity to experience elite baseball, cultural exchange and world-class sightseeing across Osaka, Kobe and Tokyo.
The tour begins with travel into the Kansai region, where participants will be based in Kobe and compete in a series of games and training experiences with the renowned Kobe Koryo Gakuen High School baseball programs and local Japanese teams at venues including Miki Stadium and Mita Shiroyama Park Stadium.
These experiences will immerse athletes in the highly respected Japanese baseball environment while building friendships and cultural connections.
Beyond baseball, the itinerary includes iconic sightseeing experiences such as Osaka Castle, the Dotonbori entertainment district, the Tombori River Cruise and a visit to the famous Koshien Museum, home of Japan’s historic high school baseball tradition.
The tour then travels by Shinkansen to Tokyo, where participants will visit the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum and attend a Nippon Professional Baseball game at the legendary Tokyo Dome to watch the Yomiuri Giants in action.
In Tokyo and Fuchu City, teams will compete in additional international games against Japanese opposition, including Musashi Nadeshiko, Tokyo Fuchu Boys and Eagles, while also participating in school visits and cultural exchange activities with local students in Fuchu City schools.
The itinerary also includes free sightseeing opportunities across some of Tokyo’s most famous destinations, including Shibuya, Harajuku, Asakusa, Tokyo Skytree, Ueno, Kanda sports district and optional visits to Tokyo Disney Resort.
This tour offers far more than baseball — it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for young athletes to experience Japanese culture, develop international friendships, compete against quality opposition and create lifelong memories while representing Queensland on the international stage.
