Overview

The Reiwa 7 Winter Tour Grand Sumo Tournament Yukuhashi is a dynamic branch location tour (jungyo) sanctioned by the Japan Sumo Association, transporting the ancient art of professional sumo wrestling to Fukuoka Prefecture for a single-day extravaganza of ritual, rivalry, and raw power. Scheduled for December 3, 2025 (Wed), at Yukuhashi Civic Gymnasium, the tournament commences at 09:00, progressing through ~20–30 bouts from entry-level maezumo to elite makuuchi clashes, interspersed with ceremonial dohyo-iri processions, salt purifications, and gyoji adjudications.

As a non-ranking event in the winter patrol series, it spotlights top rikishi such as yokozuna Terunofuji or promising talents like Onosato, fostering an electric atmosphere of cheers and traditions. Hailed on X for its “fierce Kyushu spirit” and “unmatched up-close drama,” this tour revives sumo’s grassroots appeal. Tickets range from ¥6,000 (2nd floor unreserved) to ¥16,000 (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 ~1,500-seat gymnasium, in Yukuhashi’s scenic eastern Fukuoka locale near Minoshima beaches, delivers an intimate, fervent experience. Preschool children prohibited in Tamari S seats; children 4+ require tickets. Secure via Ticket Pia due to surging demand for this Fukuoka-exclusive basho.
