If you ever get to Fukuoka, during the baseball season or in the winter, be sure to go to Yahoo Dome and pay a visit to the Sadaharu Oh Museum. Opened in July of this year, it is a tribute to baseball's all-time home run king, loaded with history and nostalgia.
The museum is located inside the Softbank Hawks home ballpark but accessible from the outside with the entrance opposite the Hilton Sea Hawk Hotel on the outfield side of the dome and not far from the Fukuoka Tower, another tourist site in the city.
The facility is dedicated to Oh, his life in Japanese baseball as a player with the Yomiuri Giants and later manager of the Giants and the Fukuoka Daiei and Softbank Hawks, and the champion Japan team in the 2006 World Baseball Classic. On display are typical items you would expect to find in a museum — plus a lot more.
