At the tour, you can not only watch powerful matches but also observe public practice sessions up close and enjoy unique, valuable interaction events such as handshake sessions with the wrestlers.
The close proximity to the wrestlers and the relaxed atmosphere, which differs from the official tournaments, are also highlights of the tour. This event is highly recommended even for those watching Grand Sumo for the first time!
