Faqs

What is the difference between Tamari seats and chair seats?

Tamari seats are the closest possible seats to the dohyo (ring), located on the floor level. These seats offer the most intense view of the action and include a special commemorative cushion for the spectator to take home.

What time does the Ishioka Grand Sumo Tournament begin?

The event is scheduled to start at 09:00 on April 20, 2026. Arriving early is recommended to witness the morning practice sessions, which provide a fascinating look at the wrestlers’ preparation and daily rituals.

Are there age requirements for attending the Sumo tour?

Tickets are required for anyone aged 4 and up. If a child under the age of 4 requires their own seat, a ticket must be purchased for them as well; otherwise, they may sit on a guardian’s lap.

Can I enter the arena with only a Bento or Souvenir set ticket?

No, a separate admission ticket is required to enter the Ibaraki Densetsu Sports Arena Ishioka. The lunch box and sumo souvenir sets are add-on items and do not grant entry to the tournament on their own.

The arena is located in Ibaraki Prefecture and is accessible via local transport from Ishioka Station. It is advised to check local bus schedules or arrange for a taxi on the day of the event to ensure timely arrival.
