Nagoya: Grand Sumo Tournament Tour
TICKET PRICES STARTING FROM
Taxes and fees will be calculated at checkout
Overview
What decisively differentiates this tour is the guide’s attentiveness to each traveler to make the experience memorable. Firstly, each traveler will receive three souvenirs which are hard to come by. 1) A pamphlet showing photos and profiles of wrestlers with English translation. The guide will walk you through it as you watch each fight. 2) A cheer-up towel for a particular wrestler. The guide will show you how to use it when the wrestler is going to fight; cheering up a particular wrestler will significantly increase the joy of watching. 3) A sumo booklet which tells pretty much all about sumo. Secondly, using an earphone guide system, your guide will provide real-time commentaries through your headset throughout the tournament.

- 1) Travelers can take a 2-hour optional Nagoya Castle walking tour. If they take this option, the tour will start at 13:00 o'clock. The meeting point is Meijo Line Nagoyajo Sta. (M07) Exit 7 on the ground.
- 2) Travelers who don't take a 2-hour optionalNagoya Castle walking tour will start the tour at 15:00 o'clock. The meeting point is Dolphins Arena (Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium) - the sumo venue. We will meet outside of the main entrance. Its address is 1-1 Ninomaru, Naka-ward, 460-0032 Nagoya, JP.
- 3) You will watch the bouts by top-division wrestlers for 3 hours from 15 o’clock. While some might think “the longer the viewing hours, the better,” our experience tells otherwise; in the past, those who started to watch much earlier got bored over time and left the arena before the top division match started! Hence, let’s start watching the bouts at 15 o’clock with all our might.
