Tokyo Dome City
The Basics
The centerpiece of the complex is the Tokyo Dome. As well as being the home stadium of the Yomiuri Giants baseball team, the Dome—which can seat up to 55,000 people—regularly hosts touring pop stars and musicians. Catching a baseball game here provides unique insight into Japan’s sports culture.
The complex’ amusement park is known as Tokyo Dome City Attractions and has several rollercoasters—including its signature Thunder Dolphin, which reaches a top speed of 81 miles (130 kilometers) an hour—and a Ferris Wheel. The park can get busy, especially during school holidays, so book your admission ticket in advance in order to save time waiting on the day.
