Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame

The Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum of Japanese baseball was founded in 1959. Originally located in adjacent to Korakuen Stadium, in 1988 it was moved to inside the Tokyo Dome. The Hall of Fame was created to honor those who have made outstanding contributions to the development of baseball in Japan. The museum also houses baseball memorabilia. As of 2023, there are 215 members of the Hall of Fame.
