Time Out says

A large, open-air stadium that was built for the 1964 Olympics. Home to the Yakult Swallows baseball team, currently playing in the Central league, the stadium is recognised as being the more traditional of Tokyo's ballparks, and much loved for it.

What’s on

Jingu Gaien Fireworks Festival

Yukata-clad spectators crowd the streets of Harajuku and Aoyama during the mesmerising Jingu Gaien Fireworks Festival, a display that ranks as one of Tokyo's top summer festivals. Now in its 44th year, this edition of the event will boast 10,000 fireworks. The cluster of sports stadiums to the south of Sendagaya Station offers the best vantage points, with paid seating available at Meiji Jingu Stadium and Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium. Ticket prices start from ¥7,000 for single seats at Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium – more details here. Alternatively, just wander around the surrounding area until you find somewhere you can see the action for free. The fireworks display lasts for one hour from 7.30pm to 8.30pm. In case of stormy weather, the festival will be postponed to August 17.
