Watch sumo wrestling live
Japan's national sport is sumo. The person who throws an opponent out of the ring wins this particular kind of wrestling. The contest only lasts a few seconds. The two sumo wrestlers face each other as they approach the ring before turning to their respective corners. They squat, stand up, elevate one leg, and then slam it back to the ground at the corner, followed by the other leg. They make a big deal out of it because their opponent is expected to be intimidated by it. In their corner, they use a ladle of water to rinse their lips before wiping their faces with some paper.
You will have to be eager to watch the Grand Sumo Tournament knowing that it will take place while you are in Japan. You should book your tickets in advance and eagerly look forward to the day when you can witness some sumo wrestling!
The finest place to see sumo wrestlers in action is during one of the major competitions conducted annually in Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka. The Kokugikan sumo stadium, which is situated in Tokyo's Ryogoku area, hosts the majority of tournaments. You can schedule your visit to Japan to coincide with one of the tournaments, which each last 15 days.
