Overview

The Grand Sumo Tournament Spring Tour, known as the Jungyo, is scheduled to visit the Setsunan University Neyagawa Campus General Gymnasium in Osaka Prefecture on March 30, 2026. This regional tour offers a unique and more accessible perspective on the world of professional Sumo, distinct from the major tournaments. The Jungyo circuit features top-ranked Rikishi (wrestlers) in practice sessions, exhibition matches, and traditional demonstrations, bringing the rich culture of Sumo directly to the local community in Neyagawa.

This single-day event promises a full experience of Sumo culture, including the impressive Dohyo-iri (ring-entering ceremony) and various crowd-pleasing performances. While many of the ringside seats are highly sought after, several options remain available, including specific Tamari S seats and seats in the 2nd-floor stand. Special commemorative packages, such as the Yokozuna set and the Bento set, are also available for purchase to complement the viewing experience.

Why Attend

• Witness top-ranked Sumo wrestlers (Rikishi) perform in exhibition bouts and ceremonial rituals.
• Experience the traditional culture of Sumo in the intimate, regional atmosphere of the Jungyo tour.
• Secure one of the remaining seats in the Tamari S seat/East or West areas, which include a commemorative cushion.
• Purchase an optional Yokozuna set or Bento set to fully enjoy the day’s traditions and cuisine.
