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 45th year, this edition of the event will boast 10,000 fireworks, launched over the span of an hour from Meiji Jingu Gaien Rubber-ball Baseball Field. The cluster of sports stadiums to the south of the launch site offers the best vantage points, with paid seating available at Meiji Jingu Stadium and Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium. Ticket prices are yet to be announced for 2026 – more details to come 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 9.
