How to Get Tickets for a Japanese Baseball Game

Look For Ticket Machines in Lawsons

Being a baseball fanatic, a convenient service I use often at convenience stores is the ticket machines. Using these machines, you can easily purchase any kind of ticket you want. Any of the major combinis (Seven-Eleven, Lawson, Family Mart, and Sankus) will have a ticket machine and they have English guidance. The key is just to find the machine (usually next to the printer) and then press the ENGLISH button. You should be able to figure it out from there.
