Reiwa 8 Spring Tour Sumo Muko Venue Ticket

Overview:

The Grand Sumo Spring Regional Tour, specifically the stop at the Muko Civic Gymnasium in Kyoto Prefecture, offers fans a special, one-day experience with Japan’s elite professional sumo wrestlers. This event, known as Jungyo, is a dynamic exhibition rather than a standard ranking tournament (Honbasho). It provides a more intimate opportunity to observe the strength, grace, and ancient rituals of sumo, showcasing top-ranked Rikishi from the Makuuchi and Juryo divisions.

The event, scheduled to start in the morning, runs for several hours and features a comprehensive program. Attendees can witness everything from morning practice and ceremonial ring entrances (Dohyo-iri) by the Yokozuna (Grand Champion) and Ozeki (Champion) to fun demonstrations like Shokkiri (comical explanation of foul moves) and high-level exhibition bouts. The Muko Civic Gymnasium provides a local and spirited atmosphere to fully appreciate the power and tradition of Japan’s national sport.

Why Attend:

• See top-ranked professional sumo wrestlers, including Yokozuna and Ozeki, perform in an intimate, local setting in Kyoto Prefecture.
• Witness the traditional and solemn Ring Entering Ceremonies (Dohyo-iri), which are a spectacular sight to behold.
• The tour includes unique demonstrations like Shokkiri (comic sumo) and Sumo Jinku (traditional sumo songs) that are not seen in the main tournaments.
• A variety of seating options, including premium Tamari ringside seats and paired box seats, allow for a close-up viewing experience.
• Special souvenir ticket packages are available, including custom lunch boxes (bento) and unique sumo memorabilia, perfect for a memorable day out.
