Overview

The Reiwa 7 Winter Tour Grand Sumo Tournament Amagasaki is a exhilarating branch location tour (jungyo) organized by the Japan Sumo Association, showcasing the timeless traditions and raw athleticism of professional sumo wrestling in a regional setting outside the six annual honbasho grand tournaments.

Held on December 12, 2025 (Fri), at Baycom General Gymnasium (Amagasaki Memorial Park) in Hyogo Prefecture, the event kicks off at 09:00, featuring a full day of bouts from lower divisions to top makuuchi matches, including exhibition shokkiri (humorous technique demos), sumo chants (jinku), and ring-entering ceremonies (dohyo-iri).

This non-ranking affair highlights rikishi like yokozuna Terunofuji or rising stars such as Onosato, fostering fan interactions in a lively atmosphere. Part of the winter patrol to spread sumo’s appeal, it’s praised on X for its “up-close intensity” and “festive Kansai energy,” drawing families and enthusiasts alike. Tickets range from ¥8,000 (2nd floor unreserved) to ¥18,000 (Tamari S seats with commemorative cushion), with pre-sale open until October 30, 2025, 23:59 JST, and general sale from November 1, 2025, 10:00 JST.

The ~2,156-seat gymnasium, in Amagasaki’s memorial park near Osaka, offers an accessible, spirited venue. Preschool children prohibited in Tamari S seats; children 4+ require tickets. Secure via Ticket Pia due to high demand for this Hyogo-exclusive basho.
