Core Event: Sumo Tour (10:00-15:00)
Immerse in a 5-hour sumo tour with Shinto-influenced rituals, including the solemn entrance ceremony, salt purification, and wrestlers' "Sikoku" evil-dispelling stomp.
Cheer for wrestlers from rookies to "Yokozuna" (top rank), and feel the tension & primitive power as they compete on the sacred "Dohyo" (sumo ring).
The activity ends outside the venue around 15:00.
Be sure to watch the solemn entrance ceremony, the salt-sprinkling ritual symbolizing venue purification, and the powerful "Sikoku" stomping ritual of the sumo wrestlers—they stamp their feet vigorously to drive away evil spirits and pray for the match.
Cheer for wrestlers of all ranks, from emerging rookies to the legendary "Yokozuna"—the highest honor in sumo. Experience the breath-taking tension and primitive power when wrestlers compete on the sacred "Dohyo" (sumo ring).
Booking & Etiquette Tips
1. Limited Spots: Book early—tickets sell out fast; last-minute bookings aren’t guaranteed.
2. Etiquette: No flash photography (distracts wrestlers); stay quiet during pre-match prep; cheer loud after exciting bouts!
