- Sumo "Osaka" Tournament
Sumo is Japan's national sport. Six times a year, official sumo tournaments called "Honbasho" are held in Japan. The matches that unfold on the ring are thrilling! The sound of the wrestlers' bodies colliding violently echoes throughout the arena, captivating the spectators. The rules of sumo are very simple: a wrestler who goes outside the ring or touches the ground with any part of his body other than his feet loses. However, there are a total of 82 different techniques. Be sure to check out the wide variety of techniques unleashed by the well-trained wrestlers!
