Overview

The Reiwa 7 Winter Tour Grand Sumo Tournament Miyazaki is a vibrant branch location tour (jungyo) organized by the Japan Sumo Association, bringing the ancient spectacle of professional sumo wrestling to Miyazaki Prefecture. Held on December 4, 2025 (Thu), at Miyazaki Prefectural Gymnasium, this single-day event starts at 09:00 (doors at 09:00), featuring approximately 20–30 bouts from maezumo preliminaries to makuuchi division showdowns, enriched with ceremonial dohyo-iri processions, shokkiri comedic demonstrations, and jinku chants.

As a non-ranking winter tour stop, it showcases top rikishi like yokozuna Terunofuji, ozeki Hoshoryu, or rising star Onosato, fostering an electrifying, fan-engaged atmosphere. Organized by UMK Television Miyazaki, this tournament taps into Kyushu’s passionate sumo culture, praised on X for its “Miyazaki coastal roar” and “intimate dohyo intensity.”

Tickets range from ¥2,250 (bento set, seat ticket required) to ¥7,000 (Stand Chair A seats), with sales open until December 3, 2025, 23:59 JST. The ~3,000-seat gymnasium, near Miyazaki’s tropical coastline, offers an immersive experience. Preschool children are prohibited in Tamari S seats; children under 2 can sit on laps for free in other areas (fee if seated).

Shoes are banned inside the venue (slippers required). Secure via Ticket Pia due to high demand for this Kyushu sumo showcase, with parking tickets already sold out.
