Overview

The Reiwa 7 Winter Tour Grand Sumo Tournament Oita is a captivating branch location tour (jungyo) organized by the Japan Sumo Association, bringing the raw intensity and cultural depth of professional sumo wrestling to Oita Prefecture.

Held on December 5, 2025 (Fri), at Oita Sports Park Crasus Martial Arts Sports Center, the event starts at 09:00, featuring approximately 20–30 bouts from maezumo preliminaries to makuuchi division showdowns, enriched with traditional rituals like dohyo-iri ceremonies, shokkiri comedic demonstrations, and jinku chants. As a non-ranking winter tour event, it showcases top rikishi such as yokozuna Terunofuji, ozeki Hoshoryu, or rising star Onosato, fostering a vibrant, fan-engaged atmosphere.

Organized by the Oita Grand Sumo Tournament Executive Committee, it’s celebrated on X for its “Kyushu sumo fever” and “intimate dohyo spectacle.” Tickets range from ¥1,000 (2nd floor unreserved, elementary school students and younger) to ¥8,000 (movable 1st floor seats), with a ¥5,000 souvenir set (separate seat ticket required). Sales are open until December 4, 2025, 23:59 JST.

The ~2,000-seat venue, located in Oita’s sports hub near Beppu Bay, offers an immersive experience. Preschool children are prohibited in Tamari S seats; children 4+ require tickets; shoes are banned on the 1st floor (slippers required).
