Why You Should Visit

The Grand Sumo winter tour comes to Katano, held at Iki-iki Land Katano as a supported event for the city's 55th anniversary. Mornings bring open practice — including sekitori wrestlers taking on local children — and a handshake session with four rikishi. From midday, tour-only acts such as shokkiri (comic sumo), sumo jinku songs and drum demonstrations run between lower-division bouts, and the afternoon follows the full tournament flow: makuuchi and yokozuna ring-entering ceremonies, top-division bouts and the closing bow-twirling ritual. A good pick for first-time spectators and anyone wanting to see the wrestlers up close.
