Sumo, Japan’s national sport, is not just about large wrestlers; beneath their
fat, they have well-trained muscles. Despite their large physique, they
possess remarkable flexibility, with legs as strong as tree trunks. Their
physical abilities are acrobatic, and sumo wrestlers are ultimate athletes
with bodies built for combat. The sound of their clash echoes throughout the
venue. Come and experience the intense moments of this competition up close!

[Viewing Highlights]

• More than 1,500 years of sumo history

Sumo’s origins can be traced back to ancient mythology, where it began as a
form of strength competition. It was initially performed as a ritual to
forecast the year's harvest, held annually at the imperial court for about 300
years. In the Sengoku period, sumo became part of warrior training. In the Edo
period, sumo became a public attraction, establishing the foundation for
modern-day sumo. Today, sumo is a popular sport with a structured form, loved
by many. At the venue, you’ll get to experience the long history and cultural
traditions of sumo up close.

• Yokozuna’s Ring Entrance (Yokozuna, Hoshoryu, to be promoted to Yokozuna in March of Reiwa 7)

When sumo wrestlers enter the ring, they perform a ring entrance (dohyō-iri),
which also serves as a ceremonial introduction. The "Yokozuna Ring Entrance,"
performed separately from the Juryo or Makuuchi divisions, allows you to
witness a sacred ritual. With two wrestlers, "tachi-mochi" and "no-yanai,"
following the Yokozuna as they make their way down the flower path and enter
the ring, the Yokozuna then raises his leg high to stomp the ground (shiko).
The crowd will chant "Yoi-sho!" in unison as the Yokozuna performs this
traditional stomp. Also, the Yokozuna’s ceremonial mawashi and white rope are
highlights to watch.
