Tickets in Japan Co., Ltd., which operates "Tickets in Japan," a sports and entertainment ticket sales service for foreign tourists visiting Japan, is currently selling tickets for games hosted by the six Pacific League baseball Pacific League Pacific League Marketing Co., Ltd. (PLM).

Fueled by a record number of foreign visitors to Japan, demand for attending professional baseball games is rapidly expanding.

According to the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO), the number of foreign visitors to Japan in 2025 is projected to reach 42.68 million (a 15.8% increase from the previous year), significantly exceeding the previous record. By region, many travelers are visiting Japan from South Korea, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, the United States, and Australia.

In Japan's baseball Pacific League, each team has players from Taiwan, and there is a very high demand for watching professional baseball games from major countries and regions that visit Japan, including the United States and Canada, which are already known as "baseball powerhouses," and South Korea, which has a large number of passionate baseball fans.

Against this backdrop, ticket sales for Pacific League-sponsored games through "Tickets in Japan," with whom we have had a partnership agreement since last year, have been progressing extremely well, already exceeding last year's total sales.

Transforming Japanese professional baseball into a world-class bounce tourism attraction.

The six Pacific League teams and PLM have always aimed to expand into new markets under the mission of "increasing the number of new fans of professional baseball." Last season, they actively promoted increased recognition overseas by broadcasting and streaming games in Taiwan, North America (United States and Canada), and Central and South America and the Caribbean (approximately 40 countries and regions).

"Tickets in Japan" is deeply connected to these initiatives, delivering the ultimate sports entertainment experience of "professional baseball viewing," which can be considered a unique aspect of Japanese culture, to foreign tourists visiting Japan. Moving forward, we plan to continue to convey the appeal of various aspects of Japanese culture to the world through the excitement of stadiums, and contribute to the further revitalization of bounce market.
