2026 WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC TOKYO TOURS
WBC FANS: SKIP THE MIDDLEMAN. DIRECT SUPPORT IS HERE!
Planning your trip for the 2026 World Baseball Classic requires early action. Here is why the Tokyo Pool is the most anticipated event in international baseball history:
- Record-Breaking Momentum: The world is still buzzing from the 2023 tournament. During the last WBC, the Tokyo Dome shattered records with 361,976 fans attending across the first two rounds alone. With the tournament's popularity at an all-time high, hotel rooms within walking distance of the stadium in Suidobashi are expected to sell out months before the first pitch.
- The "Ohtani Effect": Global superstar Shohei Ohtani has officially confirmed his participation for 2026, stating he is "delighted to represent Japan" once again. As the face of the sport, Ohtani’s presence is driving unprecedented travel demand from US-based fans—particularly from California and Texas—who want to see the "Unicorn" play in his home stadium.
- The "March Madness" of Baseball: The timing of the Tokyo Pool (March 5–10, 2026) is no coincidence. It aligns perfectly with Spring Break for many major US universities and school districts. We are seeing a significant surge in family and student travelers from the US who are combining their love for the game with a once-in-a-lifetime spring vacation to Japan.
- US Fans: Maximize your Spring Break. We handle the 13-hour jet lag logistics so you’re ready for first pitch.
- Aussie Fans: Follow the Southern Stars to Tokyo. Direct support in your time zone.
