FAQs
What is the difference between Tamari seats and Mass seats?
Tamari seats are ringside floor cushions closest to the ring, offering the most intense view. Mass seats are traditional square-boxed seating areas further back, usually shared by 2 to 4 people on cushions.
What happens during the hair-styling demonstration at the tour?
A professional sumo hairdresser, known as a Tokoyama, demonstrates the complex process of tying a top-ranking wrestler’s hair into the “oichonmage” (ginkgo leaf) style. This is a rare behind-the-scenes look at sumo tradition.
Can children attend the Grand Sumo Tournament in Yokohama?
All attendees, including infants, require a ticket to sit on the 1st floor. However, children under 4 may watch from a parent’s lap on the 2nd and 3rd floors, provided they do not require an extra seat.
Is there a specific dress code or item I should bring to the venue?
While there is no formal dress code, feet are strictly prohibited inside the museum/arena area of certain Japanese venues. It is highly recommended to bring your own slippers for comfort and etiquette.
Are souvenirs and lunch boxes included with all seat tickets?
No, souvenirs and bento lunch boxes are only included if you purchase a specific “Souvenir Ticket” or “Lunch Box Ticket” voucher. These must be purchased in addition to your standard seat ticket for entry.
