I’ve had the pleasure of going to Korakuen Hall, near the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, several times now to watch pro wrestling of all types live, and greatly enjoyed every visit. There’s no bad seats, the crowd loves the action, and every promotion treats Korakuen like it’s a big deal. I made a zine to show my appreciation, using photos I’ve taken from my first trip up until my most recent last year.
I first went to Korakuen Hall on a whim while on a trip with friends, with vague memories of George Morikawa’s Hajime no Ippo and blurry NJPW real media files in my head. I got convenience store chicken on the way in, and soon fell in love.
Oracle Arena in Oakland, California is my most favorite arena in the world, but when it comes to pro wrestling, no place is as cool as Korakuen Hall.
