For various periods of time, it was also the home stadium of six other professional Japanese baseball teams, including the Mainichi Orions, the Kokutetsu Swallows, and the Nippon Ham Fighters.

It originally hosted the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame, now located at Korakuen's successor venue, the Tokyo Dome.

From 1936 to 1943, Korakuen was the home stadium of the Tokyo Senators (also known as Tsubasa, Taiyō, and Nishitetsu) of the Japanese Baseball League (JBL).

In 1942 Korakuen Stadium played host to a memorable 28-inning, 311-pitch complete game effort by Michio Nishizawa of the Nagoya Club against Taiyō.

The Orions (later known as the Chiba Lotte Marines) played at Korakuen through the 1962 season, when the team moved to Tokyo Stadium.

Korakuen was the site of the all-day "For Freedom" show, on April 4, 1978, which was the marathon farewell performance by Japanese girl group Candies.
