Contact Jasumo Now →This one-day perseverance pilgrimage—distinct from the main honbasho—delivers a ~6–8 hour “sumo rampage” of maezumo warm-ups, jonokuchi/juryo bouts, and makuuchi highlights amid ritual salt tosses and crowd-roaring stomps. Sole performance at Ryogoku Kokugikan on February 8, 2026 (Sun), 17:00 (doors 16:00), it’s a “prime sumo jihad” of sonic sorcery.
Hailed on X as “50th Japan Grand Sumo Tournament’s perseverance apocalypse” and “Ryogoku’s anniversary arcs,” this Japan Sumo Association production revives the spirit with unbridled tradition. Tickets ¥33,000–¥48,000 box/mas seats (4-person sets) via general sale on eplus from TBA (likely December 2025) – January 23, 2026, 15:00 JST (still open). Secure via eplus—this historic anniversary is primed for swift sellouts.
