TheBaseball Hall of Fame and Museum (野球体育博物館,Yakyū Taiiku Hakubutsukan), commonly known outside of Japan as theJapanese Baseball Hall of Fame, is ahall of fame andmuseum inTokyo dedicated toprofessional baseball, with a prominent focus onprofessional baseball in Japan. The Hall is intended to honor and commemorate inducted players, executives, umpires, and other individuals who developed and/or made a significant impact towards the sport of baseball in Japan.

Established in 1959, the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame was originally located next door toKorakuen Stadium, then-home for theTokyo Giants andKokutetsu Swallows of theCentral League and theMainichi Orions of thePacific League. Following the closure of Korakuen Stadium in 1988, the Hall moved to its current location within theTokyo Dome, the stadium built as Korakuen's successor and the Giants' subsequent home.

Individuals are primarily inducted as members of the Japanese Baseball Hall after gaining at least 75% of votes on a ballot of players or expert voters. The Hall's special committee is also able to elect and induct other individuals deemed to have a notable connection to the sport, such as composerYuji Koseki, who was inducted in 2023 for his creation of theHanshin Tigers cheer song "Rokko Oroshi."^[1]

The Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame's museum depicts numerous artifacts and moments from Japanese baseball history, ranging from uniforms of each team, that has played in the Central and Pacific Leagues, in addition to American baseball memorabilia, such as that ofKen Griffey Jr. andBabe Ruth. The uniform ofSadaharu Oh alongside the home run bats and balls in his career (most notably the bat for home run #800) are also on display.^[2]
