Today I wen to the Tokyo dome, it's where the Tokyo Giants a baseball team plays, Baseball is very popular in Japan. Tokyo dome city in addition to the Tokyo dome has exhibition halls, a hotel an amusement park, shops and the Korakuen hall where professional wrestling ans boxing fights are.

On my way to the dome I walked by the amusement park and saw a jump shop.

And also some interesting statues




After the shop I arrived at the Dome

It's currently mot the season for baseball so there  were no game to see but today was the first day of the furusato matsuri (homeown festival).



Among the attractions are a 23-meter-tall nebuta (lantern float) from Aomori Prefecture and a performance by Taiko-Labo, a young collective of taiko-drum masters. In addition to demonstrations of singing, dancing and music associated with regional festivals, the event also offers the chance to satisfy your appetite with local delicacies from Japan’s 47 prefectures.

There was some nice nebutas inside



Then I got inside the Dome


Once I followed the crowd to the floor I saw this:


The was also a stand to promote Tokyo to host the Olympics in 2020. with athletes giving demonstrations of their skills.
