Grand Sumo Tournament Tours On Sale!
JTB Global Marketing & Travel just launched the January Grand Sumo Tournament tours on “SUNRISE TOURS”
for the first time in three years. The tournament will be held at Ryogoku Kokugikan,
the first grand sumo tournament location, in January 2023.
Sunrise Tours' sumo tours were highly popular even before the pandemic.
Tour Highlights
On these sumo tours guests will be guided by a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter who is also a sumo fan, and will receive "The Sumo," a booklet about sumo (in English); and Banzuke-hyo, a table of rankings, as a gift! Gain a deeper understanding about sumo, Japan's national sport with around 1,500 years of history, and have a more enjoyable time. Watch the sumo wrestlers' fierce battles from a comfortable reserved seat (2nd floor B chair seating). And as a special perk for Sunrise Tours customers, there will be a group photo with a sumo stable master. (*The cost of purchasing photos is not included in the tour booking charge.)
