Tokyo Dome
The roof is literally held up by air — a 0.8 mm fiberglass membrane pressurized by blowers pushing 150,000 cubic metres of air per hour.

Home of the Yomiuri Giants since 1988 and site of the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame, Tokyo Dome sits inside a full entertainment district built on a former arsenal. It has hosted every World Baseball Classic through 2026 and was the first Asian venue for MLB regular-season play.
What to look for
- The air-supported dome roof: a cable-reinforced fiberglass membrane kept taut by continuous pressurization from independent blowers pushing 150,000 m³ of air per hour.
- Thunder Dolphin roller coaster and a hubless Ferris wheel in the adjacent Tokyo Dome City Attractions, occupying the old Korakuen Stadium footprint
- The Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame inside the complex, which traces the full history of baseball in Japan
The Yomiuri Giants play roughly 70 home games a year here; Tokyo Dome City's amusement park, Spa LaQua onsen, restaurants, and shops are accessible on non-game days.
Tokyo Dome is one of 35 sights worth the detour in Tokyo, all bundled offline in Voyage GO — download the Tokyo pack and it sits on your map with no signal, filling your travel passport the moment you walk past.
