Overview
The Grand Sumo Tournament Spring Tour, known as the Jungyo, is coming to the Tokyo Budokan in Adachi, Japan, in April 2026. Unlike the major six Basho (tournaments), the Jungyo offers a more relaxed and up-close opportunity for fans to see the top-ranked Rikishi (wrestlers) in action. These tours are crucial for the wrestlers as they participate in practice sessions, exhibition matches, and various demonstrations of Sumo traditions, bringing the sport directly to local communities.
