Hanshin Koshien Stadium in Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture, is home to the Hanshin Tigers professional baseball team and a sacred baseball ground where the national high school baseball tournament is held. The Koshien Rekishi Kan, a museum that brings together the history of Hanshin Koshien Stadium, exhibits many valuable materials and videos that are a must-see for baseball fans.
The exhibition area was partially relocated and expanded and reopened in March 2022. Here’s a closer look at some of the highlights!

The Koshien History Museum is about a 7-minute walk from Koshien Station on the Hanshin Main Line.
Admission is 900 yen for adults, 700 yen for high school students, and 500 yen for children (4 years old to junior high school students).
*High school students must show student ID.

In addition to the second floor of the outfield left field of Hanshin Koshien Stadium, the renewed exhibition area has been expanded to the second floor of Koshien Plus, a commercial facility adjacent to the south side of the stadium. In addition to the popular sections of the past, new hands-on content has also been enhanced. Visitors can now experience the appeal of baseball even more.

The reception counter is located on the second floor of Koshien Plus. Let’s have fun starting from the [PLUS Area] where you will find all the Hanshin Tigers exhibits!

This corner focuses on the Hanshin Tigers’ championship years of 1985, 2003, and 2005. In addition to the display of the winning pennants and trophies, there is also a showing of a scene of the team raising a torso.

The history of the Hanshin Tigers is divided into eight eras from its founding and presented chronologically. Along with photos and videos of the players, exhibits are embedded in the walls to make each era easier to understand.

The exhibition features photos and videos of the three permanent players and other famous players who have left their mark on the history of the Hanshin Tigers, along with exhibits related to the team. There is also a corner introducing past managers and current players.

This exhibit allows visitors to touch baseball equipment actually used by Hanshin Tigers players. Visitors can actually hold in their hands gloves, spikes, catcher’s mitts and gloves used during games.

The dugout rests, a reproduction of the benches before the ballpark renovations, are a great place to take commemorative photos!

Koshien Plus and Hanshin Koshien Stadium are connected by a connecting deck. Let’s move to the [Ballpark Area] where you will find an extensive section on high school baseball and Hanshin Koshien Stadium.

It is an impressive ball wall with 4,253 white balls embedded all over the wall. The balls are printed with the names of the schools that participated in Koshien.

Memorable games and famous scenes that brought excitement to Koshien are introduced in chronological order with photos and videos, along with exhibits.

From timeless manga classics to recent popular manga, famous scenes based on Koshien are depicted in the three-dimensional exhibit.

The observation area directly below the ballpark scoreboard offers a panoramic view of the grounds. Enjoy the great view and capture it in your pics!

There are also a variety of hands-on contents outside of the exhibition area. Why don’t you not only see but also experience?

The tours that take visitors behind the scenes of the stadium, where they are not usually allowed to enter, while listening to explanations by a guide have been popular for some time, but the content has been partially renewed this time.
