Hello everyone!
This time I’ll be sharing information about watching professional baseball at the Vantelin Dome Nagoya, home of the Chunichi Dragons.
I went once in 2025.
I’ve summarized the things I noticed during that visit, so I hope this will be helpful for anyone planning to enjoy a live concert or baseball game at the Vantelin Dome in the future.
At the end of February 2026, before the start of the World Baseball Classic (WBC) main event, the “LUXAS Samurai Japan Series 2026 Nagoya” will be held, so I’m looking forward to it!
You might even get to see Shohei Ohtani.

On the way to Vantelin Dome Nagoya
Access
As stated on the official website, it’s about a 5-minute walk from Exit 1 of Nagoya Dome-mae Yada Station on the Meijo Subway Line or Yutorito Line, and about a 15-minute walk from Ozone Station on the JR Chuo Line or Meitetsu Seto Line.
I walked 15 minutes from Ozone Station, but it was quite a distance and I got tired walking. It
‘s about a 13-minute train ride from Nagoya Station to Ozone Station, and while the stadium is close to central Nagoya, if you’re traveling by JR or Meitetsu, you’ll be walking, so be sure to wear comfortable clothing.
Recommended hotels
Nagoya Kanayama Hotel
I’d like to introduce a hotel near Kanayama Station, which is easily accessible from both Nagoya Dome-mae Yada Station and Ozone Station, the closest stations to Vantelin Dome Nagoya.
Located just a two-minute walk from Kanayama Station, this hotel offers a large public bath and beautiful rooms.
I also stayed here when I visited Nagoya, and there was a McDonald’s nearby, so I was happy to have breakfast there.
There are plenty of chain restaurants nearby, so if you’re not particular about “Nagoya food,” this is a good choice.
Facility information for Vantelin Dome Nagoya
Capacity of Vantelin Dome Nagoya
According to the official website, the capacity of the Vantelin Dome is approximately 49,000 people.
Because it is a dome stadium, the capacity is large, and the seats in the back, such as the outfield seats, are far from the ground.
Food and beverage sales within the facility
Like other stadiums, there were many stores selling takeout fries and other junk food inside the stadium. One thing I found unusual
and not found in other stadiums was the “food court,” which is only accessible to ticket holders after entering. This is an area called “Daiko Yokocho” on the third floor of the dome. There are three stores, serving tonkatsu, sushi, and rice bowls.
I had kushikatsu (3 skewers) at “Tonkatsu no Matsuzono” in Daiko Yokocho. I was glad that I could bring it to my seat inside the stadium.
View from the seat
View from Panorama B (left) ※Visiting team support side
I went to the Chunichi Dragons vs. Yomiuri Giants baseball game, and I support the visiting team, the Yomiuri Giants.
Therefore, I watched from the left-field outfield seats. The ticket price per seat was 2,550 yen (tax included).
There were few Dragons fans around, and many Giants fans, the visiting team.
My seats in Panorama B (left field) were quite far from the field, so my eyes got very tired and watery towards the end of the game.
The infield seats seemed more expensive than at other stadiums, so I chose the outfield seats this time, but next time I’d like to pay a little more to sit in the infield seats.
I was also happy to see former Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks player Mr.Uebayashi playing that day!
