| SUMO IN TOKYO 2019 (Heisei 31, ??? 1) and
2020 (??? 2) |
| The cheapest tickets are ALWAYS available
when you line up at the ticket booth
in Ryogoku early hour. 7:45AM is official
opening for unreserved seats called General
Admission Tickets. Yes, first-come-first-served
basis. At least 1 hour before which means
6:45AM-and-prior to queue is recommended
to grab the last minute tickets. Weekends
are not easy, you may have to start queue-ing
up as early as first train get you there
(5:00AM-ish). |
| It will be more than Sumo when you see all
the fights including Ichinojo (Mongolia), Aoiyama (Bulgaria), Tochinoshin (Georgia), Gagamaru (Georgia) Kaisei (Brazil), Mitakeumi (Philippine), Takayasu (Philippine) and more. And very first African
wrestler OSunaArashi (BigSanderStorm) from Egypt just got retired
(>_<) All those listed in high ranking
sumo wrestlers earn more than a million yen
each month (good job you'd consider?). If
you were in Tokyo area during Tokyo Tounament,
please have this chance to visit Ryogoku just accross Sumida river from Asakusa. |
