Kyocera Dome Osaka

My first baseball game and one of the best nights I've ever had, seriously. Amazing atmosphere, wonderful staff and just a great stadium. We're now Buffaloes fans!

Well situated, covered and pleasant even in summer heat. Super fun to go see a ballgame there. The fans here make a great atmoshphere and ate interested in the game (unlike ballgames in the US). Food and drink options anothing special really.

If you are a baseball fan this is a must stop! The dome itself architecturally is so cool! The fans have incredible energy throughout the entire game. Staff will help with any questions you may have. Some of the best street foods you would find in Osak can be had at the stadium and for reasonable prices. I had a wonderful time and am now an Orix Buffaloes fan!

As an American I wanted to get tickets which wasn't an easy task. I had to sign up online for the club and now receive a few emails each week with various offers. The experience was lovely though and will always be remembered fondly. The dome has two levels for entering, either the shopping and food side which anyone can enter and then upstairs where your tickets are scanned.

Personally it is the 4th baseball stadium that I visited in Japan. I enjoyed a NPB game, Orix Buffaloes vs. Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters dated April 12, 2024. As you know well, KYOCERA DOME OSAKA is home of Orix Buffaloes. It is open to the public in 1997 with 36,627 seats. I had purchsed ticket via internet a week ago and I handcarried the printed out QR code in paper. In front of Bs SHOP on the 1st floor, there are several ticket exchange machines. At there, I could change the QR code to a physical ticket. Wow, It does not support English. I used a translation app, as a result, I could print it. It was somewhat difficult like a typical tourist like me. I could not find any food trucks around the stadium. You can have foods inside of it. In front of each entrance gate, the staff will do security check, i.e., bag inspection, and ticket. As soon as I entered the Gate, I realized that I was on the 3rd floor of the stadium. My seat was on the 5th floor, I used a elevator on 3rd floor to 5th floor. It was somewhat difficult to find my seat but a kind staff guided my seat. If you are a fan of baseball, visiting a dome stadium is worth thing. Enjoy.
