Fans at Tokyo’s Haneda airport did not get to see Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers arrive in Japan:

The Dodgers were seen on the tarmac disembarking from their charter from Phoenix, and Ohtani was one of the first off the plane. But the players didn’t make it to the arrival area, apparently taking an escape route as they begin their much-anticipated week in Japan.

The next chance to see Ohtani and the Dodgers will be Friday (Thursday night PT) when the teams open practice at the Tokyo Dome.

The two-game series to open the MLB season is Tuesday and Wednesday, early evening starts in Tokyo. Games will go live in the early morning (3 a.m. PT) the same day in North America. Japan is 16 hours ahead of Los Angeles.
