Japanese fans are snatching up travel agencies’ MLB World Series tour packages for a rare chance to watch Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto of the Los Angeles Dodgers play ball in person.
Travel agencies are having a hard time keeping up with the intense demand for travel packages for the World Series that include flights, hotels, game tickets, and stadium tours, thanks to so-called “Ohtanimania.”
“As Ohtani continues to perform well, so do our MLB-related sales,” said Nana Shibasaki, a representative for JALPAK, a tour operator under the Japan Airlines group.
