    Why Meiji Jingu Stadium plays differently

    Jingu is an open-air park ringed by the trees of the Jingu Gaien district in central Tokyo. Summer baseball here is hot and humid, and the June–July rainy season plus late-summer convective storms regularly interrupt the schedule. Unlike the domed parks, every game is exposed to whatever Tokyo evening weather is doing at first pitch.

    Meiji Jingu Stadium weather FAQs

    June and early July are Japan's rainy season (tsuyu), and rainouts are a routine part of the early NPB schedule. Late summer brings short, intense evening storms rather than all-day rain.

    No. Jingu is fully open air, so heat, humidity, wind and rain all reach the field.

    All times on this page are Japan Standard Time (Asia/Tokyo), which does not observe daylight saving.
