Shohei Ohtani broke his home run drought, hitting his first in 12 games. Despite Ohtani's efforts, the Giants defeated the Dodgers again.

While not directly impacting travel, Ohtani's performance remains a major point of interest for many visiting Japan. His games draw huge crowds and are a cultural event in themselves.

If you're planning a trip and hope to catch a game, be sure to book tickets well in advance. Ohtani's popularity means high demand and potential sell-outs.

Consider checking the baseball schedule when planning your itinerary. Experiencing a live game can be a memorable part of your Japan trip.
