New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), Japan’s premier professional wrestling promotion, hosts thrilling events year-round, featuring top stars like Zack Sabre Jr., Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Gabe Kidd. Known for its hard-hitting matches and dramatic storylines, NJPW’s 2025 schedule includes major tournaments like the G1 Climax 35 and events across Japan, such as Tokyo, Hamamatsu, Kobe, and Hokkaido. These shows, part of tours like Road to Destruction and the Hokkaido Tour, range from intimate venues like Korakuen Hall to large arenas like Ariake Arena, offering high-energy wrestling with a mix of singles, tag-team, and championship bouts. Matches typically last 2–3 hours, with major events like the G1 Climax Finals drawing global attention.

Disclaimer

Jasumo offers a facilitation service for foreign tourists and non-Japanese residents in Japan, helping them access and apply for tickets to various events, including but not limited to sports, festivals, and cultural activities. We are not a reseller of tickets, nor do we sell tickets directly. Our role is to support international customers by guiding them through the official ticket booking process, ensuring they can secure their tickets through recognized platforms and authorized providers.

As a business based in Japan with a bilingual staff and a deep understanding of the challenges faced by non-Japanese visitors, we address common bottlenecks such as:

• Language Barriers: Navigating Japan’s primarily Japanese-language ticketing systems can be challenging for foreign tourists. Jasumo provides bilingual support to bridge this gap and ensure a smooth booking experience.
• Access to Japanese-Only Platforms: Many events in Japan require local knowledge to navigate and access, and often these platforms do not offer international payment options or are difficult to use for non-Japanese speakers. We facilitate the booking process by providing guidance and helping with international payment methods where applicable.
• Limited Availability & Complex Registration: Events in Japan often have limited capacity, and understanding the timing and process for securing tickets can be confusing for international visitors. Jasumo helps you manage deadlines and requirements, giving you the best chance of securing your entry.

Due to high demand for NJPW’s 2025 events, particularly G1 Climax Finals (Aug 16–17) and Destruction in Kobe (Sep 28), availability is not guaranteed. Refunds will only be issued if entries cannot be secured through official channels or in case of cancellation. We strongly recommend purchasing tickets by August 15, 2025, at official prices (¥3,000–¥25,000) or monitoring official resale (~5 days prior) to avoid inflated reseller prices (e.g., ¥22,000 for G1 Finals).
