The trip was an incredible experience—filled with baseball, culture, and memories that will last a lifetime. From start to finish, the planning, communication, and overall organization were outstanding. Every detail, from travel accommodations to cultural activities and tournament scheduling, was handled with professionalism and care. This trip exceeded all of our expectations, and we would highly recommend them to any family considering this opportunity.

This trip was truly one of a lifetime! I can’t rave enough about Shane, Danny, Chihiro, Yuri, Takito, and all the families and kids we met throughout the trip. If you get the chance to do a trip with Extra Innings Travel DO IT! We miss everyone already!

We just returned from the play abroad trip in Japan, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience. Only someone with a passion for both baseball and travel could organize a trip like this—thank you, Shane and Danny. Our guides were incredible: Yuri, a walking encyclopedia of Japanese baseball history; Chihiro, whose love and passion for the game shone through every moment; and Takuto, who wrangled the energy of a group of boys with the ease (and discipline!) of a boxer. What made this trip so special was that it wasn’t just about baseball or sightseeing—it was about connection. From sharing amazing meals, to spontaneous encounters with local youth teams on the train, to the friendships our kids formed, the experience was rich and meaningful. The hospitality shown by the youth teams who welcomed us was extraordinary. And honestly, how many 11 year olds can say they played in a semi-pro stadium in Japan? This was our first organized tour, and while we had to budget carefully, it was worth every bit. We’re already looking forward to joining the Dominican Republic tour next year!

This trip was a trip of a lifetime! Everything was well planned out, and we were well taken care of. Getting to watch my son play baseball with and against the talented Japanese players, and experience the Japanese baseball culture was such a treat. I am so glad that we were a part of this amazing trip, and highly recommend taking advantage of this wonderful opportunity if you have a chance!

This was an amazing trip! I brought my whole family and we all had an amazing time. There was a perfect mix of scheduled events and downtime. There wasn’t any downtime and never felt like we were rushing anywhere. There wasn’t any most amazing part was the people the translators were so nice and helpful Shane and Danny were wonderful. The opposing teams were so unbelievably nice courteous and funny. The friendships created between the players was amazing. The families of the players brought things to help with the heat. The people all over Japan were so welcoming. The trip was worth every penny. An experience my family and I will never forget.
