この時は遠くの席でしたがいつかはマス席に座ってみたいです。 The sumo tournaments take place over the span of 15 days, 6 times in the year. In Tokyo, the tournaments are held in January, May, and September. (And in March in Osaka, in July in Nagoya, and in November in Fukuoka.) On each day of the tournament immediately before the makuuchi matches are scheduled, the colorful \entering the ring\ ceremony take place. So let's go to the stadium at the latest 15:00. You can have Sumo ranking list and Today's Bouts in English at the entrance.

For those who are fanatics about sumo. I believe it is good to roam around that area. You might be lucky and encounter some sumo wrestlers around! I did see few of them, grabbing cold beer during summer heat ️

I visited the hall to just see it in person as it wasn’t the right timing to watch a proper match. I also went and visited a local place nearby to watch a sumo practice in full swing which was a great experience. If you do go be wary that you’ll be sitting in one spot for the entire time and will be required to be super quiet and respectful

Amazing stadium and nice experience. If you are in Tokyo, you really need to try this!

While the quality of the matches has declined over the decades, the spectacle and atmosphere remain unique. A more talented writer could write poems about the scent of the wrestlers' binzuke-abura hair oil mingling with the aroma of yakitori and the pungency of wrestlers' - and spectators' - sweat. The sumo museum inside is a disappointment, but well worth the admission price of zero yen.
