Overview
Grand Sumo Spring Tour 2026 Anjo Tournament is a dynamic, one-day branch event in the Japan Sumo Association’s annual regional circuit, bringing the raw power, tradition, and ritual of professional sumo wrestling to Aichi Prefecture for a thrilling spectacle of maezumo warm-ups, jonokuchi/juryo divisions, and top-tier makuuchi bouts featuring yokozuna, ozeki, and rising stars in the dohyo. As the “Reiwa 8 Spring Location Tour,” it celebrates sumo’s ancient Shinto roots—over 1,500 years of athleticism, ceremony, and cultural significance—unfolding over ~8 hours with escalating excitement, from lower-division clashes to championship implications, in Tosho Arena Anjo’s modern yet intimate 5,000-seat venue.
