Our trip to Korea was fantastic beyond belief. We had awesome tickets to each game. We arrived a couple of days early (I recommend this for internal body clock adjustment) and we took a lovely self guided walking tour in Seoul near our hotel that was put together by JapanBall. Our local guides, Joe and Diego, did a fantastic job introducing us to the variety of Korean street food - all interesting and tasty! Being able to take food and drinks into the ballpark made all of the difference. One of the most memorable meals was when our guides brought their electric grills to our seats in the right field picnic area, where they prepared a "home cooked" dinner of meats, veggies, and rice, complete with sodas. One experience that we really enjoyed was sitting in the cheering section of the home team's fans, along the first base line. This meant that we stood for half the game while cheering along with the cheerleaders, using bashing bat noisemakers. This was so much fun! Another highlight was a trip to the DMZ near North Korea, where we were able to get some real North Korean money and postage stamps. We also got to visit one of the tunnels that were discovered coming from North Korea. Also, being able to see into North Korea highlighted just how different the two countries are. Getting to meet and speak with some of the KBO players from North America was memorable, and I think that the English speaking players enjoyed speaking with us. In general, each day had sightseeing in the morning and early afternoon, and a game each night. There are no games scheduled for Mondays. We spent one non-baseball day visiting Gyeongju, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The hotels selected were top-notch and well located for access to the local train system. This was a well planned tour with great attention to detail. We saw all but two of the KBO stadiums. I look forward to returning to Korea to see games at the stadiums we missed this time. JapanBall put together a memorable trip, which was greatly enhanced by Joe and Diego's enhancements.

Thank you JapanBall for the trip of a lifetime. The Full Tour 2024 was a success even though we were unable to watch games in Yokohama and Nagoya because of Typhoon Shanshan. Everyone understood that Mother Nature wins every time. Nevertheless. we saw games in 10 of the 12 NPB stadiums, enjoyed sightseeing, the culture, cuisine and the camraderie.

Overall, the trip was very good. The overall quality of the baseball game tickets was not great: some tickets were near the top of the stadium while others were in the corners of the outfield near the back of the section. The reason for the poor ticket selection was that the original ticket supplier was forced to cease operations by Nissan Professional Baseball. While this was understandable, unavoidable, and beyond the control of the tour operator, nonetheless I was still disappointed with the quality of game tickets. The tour operator did an excellent job managing issues that arose due to weather, rerouting travel and planning alternate activities for the group. The experience of getting to and from the games was well managed and exceeded my expectations. The tour guides employed were knowledgeable and helpful at all times. The hotels we stayed in were top notch full service hotels. The in-country airline flights were excellent and convenient. Getting to see the entire country was among the highlights of the tour. The additional baseball related activities: visiting the Ichiro museum, going to the batting cage where Ichiro trained, eating at a restaurant that Ichiro frequented, the Sadaharu Oh museum, the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame, and dinner with the first Japanese player to play in the Major Leagues (Mashi Murakami) in a bar dedicated to a particular baseball team were outstanding. Also getting inducted into the JapanBall Hall of Fame was a definite highlight of the trip. Visiting historic Koshien Stadium and the Babe Ruth plaque and the temple adjacent to the stadium was fun and enriching. Getting to meet and speak with author Robert Whiting at historic MeiJi Jingu stadium was a great experience and a trip highlight. The non-baseball portion of the trip, visits to Kyoto (Bamboo Forrest) and Hiroshima were worthwhile and definitely not to be missed.
