Tokyo Dome City
Tokyo Dome City Review
The Korakuen stop on the Marunouchi subway line, about 10 minutes from Tokyo Station, lets you out in front of the Tokyo Dome, Japan's first air-supported indoor stadium, built in 1988 and home to the Yomiuri Giants baseball team. Across from the stadium is Tokyo Dome City, a combination of family amusement park, shopping mall, restaurants, and a natural-spring spa.
The Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum offers a chance to see some of the bats, balls, and gloves of the legends that made Japanese Pro Baseball the game it is today. www.baseball-museum.or.jp. ¥500. Mar.-Sept., daily 10-6; Oct.-Feb., daily 10-5.
LaQua Amusement Park has a stomach-churning roller coaster, a Ferris wheel, and a merry-go-round. Roller-coaster rides ¥600-¥1,000. Daily 10-10.
The LaQua Shopping Center holds more than 50 clothing and beauty shops and restaurants. Shops daily 11-9; restaurants daily 11-11.
