Sapporo Dome Guided Tour & Observatory Ticket

Sapporo Dome Guided Tour: From Behind-the-Scenes Stories to the Observatory

Your tour begins with a meeting with your guide at the information desk on the 1st floor of the Hokkaido Baseball Stadium. Sit in the stands and witness the sophisticated process of the dome stadium transforming from a baseball field to a soccer field through video and explanations. Afterward, move to the underground backstage area, accessible only to players and staff, to explore actual on-site spaces like the bullpen, manager's room, and locker rooms. The final part of the tour allows you to ascend to the observatory located at the top of the stadium to capture photos with a panoramic view of Sapporo.
