We went here for a boxing match and loved this place!! The seats were so comfortable which makes a difference when watching a long event. Everything about this space is beautiful and pristine. The fight was amazing! I would love to watch a sumo match one day upon our return!

I highly recommend getting tickets in advance as they sell out quickly, especially during large tournaments. The energy in this stadium is unlike anything I've ever felt; it's an absolute blast. Inside the stadium, you'll find food, drinks, and beer available at very reasonable prices. If you're on the fence about seeing sumo, consider this a sign to purchase tickets. You won't regret it.

Attending the Sumo at the arena was an overall great experience. The event was very entertaining and was exciting. The arena building is incredible however the food offerings were not the highest quality.

Will be a 5* for most people and I feel guilty not giving it 5 today. It’s a wonderful arena and the 2 person box was lots of fun. Attended on a day when one of the senior sumo was retiring and although it was emotional and very interesting, it took 2 hours as 400 people came to cut 1 strand of his hair. Culturally great, but most locals were fast asleep half way through 😀😀 Was there for 5h 30m If you’re looking for a little more cut and thrust sumo I’d recommend the other tournaments away from the ‘Home of sumo’ as it’s very very traditional which can of course be a great thing too.

Sumo stadium that is just a few adjustments to become great: +Easy accessibility with lots of entrances, long streets to see Sumos walking before and after their matches. +Basement serves ¥500 Chanko Babe, medium sized servings that is heavy on vegetables, some meat and minimal carbs (tofu skin) +Sumo museum, wall paintings, and trophy case are good photos an the entrance. -The seats are nearly vertically aligned, meaning you get a good view of the back of the persona's head in front of you. The seats need to be staggered sideways to improve the view of the Sumo ring.
