Overview
The 2026 Spring Tour of the Grand Sumo Tournament makes a highly anticipated stop at the Kashima Sports Center in Ibaraki Prefecture, offering a rare chance to see Japan’s national sport in a more intimate, provincial setting. Unlike the fixed honbasho tournaments in major cities, the Jungyo (regional tour) focuses on cultural exchange and bringing the excitement of sumo directly to local fans. Spectators can enjoy a full day of activities, beginning with early morning training sessions and concluding with the dramatic top-division matches featuring the sport’s most famous Yokozuna and Ozeki stars.

Can I get tickets if the official website says they are sold out?
Yes, if the official allocation is exhausted, we can look into verified and trusted resale marketplaces within Japan. This allows us to find secondary market options that are often difficult for overseas fans to access safely.
