Overview

Professional baseball returns to the heart of Shikoku as the Tokyo Yakult Swallows take on the Yokohama DeNA Baystars at the iconic Botchan Stadium in Matsuyama. This special regular-season matchup offers local fans and travelers a rare chance to witness elite Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) action outside of the typical metropolitan hubs. The atmosphere at Matsuyama Central Park is expected to be electric, as the Swallows bring their high-octane offense to face the strategic pitching of the Baystars.

Beyond the game itself, this event serves as a major cultural highlight for Ehime Prefecture, featuring special promotions and a festive stadium environment. Fans sitting in select infield sections will even receive limited-edition “Tsubame Power” uniforms, adding a sea of green to the stands. Whether you are a die-hard baseball follower or a first-time spectator, the energy of a Japanese ballpark—complete with coordinated cheers and unique stadium snacks—makes this an unmissable springtime experience.

Faqs

Which sections are eligible for the Tsubame Power uniform giveaway?

Fans who purchase advance tickets for Infield S Reserved seats or Infield A Reserved seats on the 1st base side are eligible for the gift. These limited-edition uniforms can be collected at the designated exchange office located at the venue on the day of the game.

What is the policy for children attending the game?

Tickets are required for all children aged 4 and older to ensure they have their own seat. Children aged 3 and under may enter for free if they sit on a guardian’s lap, but a ticket must be purchased if a separate seat is required.

How does the seating work for the “Infield 2nd Floor Free” sections?

Free seating sections do not have specific assigned seat numbers, so spots are available on a first-come, first-served basis within that area. We recommend arriving when doors open at 16:00 to secure the best possible vantage point in these sections.

What happens to my tickets if the game is cancelled due to rain?

In the event of a rain cancellation, the game will not be played on that date, and refund procedures will be initiated. Our concierge team will assist international customers in navigating the refund process according to the official Tokyo Yakult Swallows ticketing terms.

Is parking available at the stadium for those arriving by car?

While there is parking at Matsuyama Central Park, it is limited and requires a separate, pre-purchased parking pass. For international visitors, we generally recommend using public transportation to reach the stadium to avoid the logistical challenges of securing a specific parking permit.
