Tokyo nightlife and a unique stadium: Ben Verlander’s Japan diary

Editor’s note: Ben Verlander is spending time in Japan exploring Shohei Ohtani’s roots, experiencing the country’s culture and meeting fans. This is the seventh in a recurring series that began Friday, Aug. 19.
The trip of a lifetime is still underway here in Japan, and I took full advantage of my final full day in Tokyo.
Day six started like several others: with ramen.
From there, we were off to Jingu Stadium, home of the Yakult Swallows and the site of that day’s fan meet-up. I was greeted by plenty of fans and heard countless stories. I love these meet-ups so much. Prior to the Yakult Swallows game, I met one lady who had traveled two hours just to say hello and take a couple of pictures.
