Overview

The Reiwa 7 Winter Tour Grand Sumo Tournament Itoshima is a thrilling sumo event held on December 2, 2025 (Tuesday), at Itoshima City Sports Park Multipurpose Gymnasium in Fukuoka Prefecture. This regional tour stop features top wrestlers from the Japan Sumo Association, including maegashira and potentially yokozuna, in a full day of dohyo-iri (ring-entering ceremonies), preliminary bouts, and main matches starting at 9:00.

As part of the winter tour, it offers fans a chance to witness the sport’s intensity and tradition in a ~2,000-seat gymnasium praised on X for its “electric atmosphere” and “up-close action.” Tickets range from ¥9,000 (stand chair seats) to ¥16,000 (Tamari S seats with commemorative cushion), with sales open until November 27, 2025, 23:59 JST. Located near Itoshima’s beaches and 40 minutes from Fukuoka Airport, the venue is ideal for exploring Keya no Oto Beach or Rajion Sake Brewery.

Secure tickets early via Jasumo due to limited capacity and high demand for this accessible sumo experience. Preschool children are not permitted in Tamari S seats; children under 2 are free on a lap in other areas.
