Official annual schedule checkpoint
All six 2026 Grand Tournament windows
The Japan Sumo Association schedules six 2026 Grand Tournaments in Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya and Fukuoka. This annual hub keeps those tournament identities separate before a visitor chooses a dated ticket.
- Tokyo tournaments
- Jan 11–25 and May 10–24 at Kokugikan; Sep 13–27 at Kokugikan
- Osaka tournament
- Mar 8–22 at EDION Arena Osaka
- Nagoya tournament
- Jul 12–26 at IG Arena
- Fukuoka tournament
- Nov 8–22 at Fukuoka Kokusai Center
Use the association schedule as the source of truth for tournament dates and venues. A ticket for one tournament or date is not evidence for another; verify the exact day, venue, seat and delivery method before comparing secondary listings.
Sumo seating guide
How to read sumo seat types
Sumo seating is different from a concert layout. Read distance from the dohyo first, then seat type, then direction: front, opposite front, east or west. This guide is based on public seat information from the Japan Sumo Association and Ticket Oosumo.
Front
Opposite
East
West
Chair
Masu
Tamari
Dohyo
Tamari seat
Closest to the dohyo and often called sunakaburi. The official guide describes it as one person sitting on one cushion around the ring.
The Tokyo tournament guide says tamari seats are for ages 16 and over and include safety restrictions. Check organizer and listing rules before buying.
Masu box seat
First-floor box-style seating. The official Tokyo guide describes one masu as about 1.3 meters square, surrounded by metal pipes and fitted with cushions. S/A/B/C usually reflect row distance from the dohyo.
Listings may say 1-person, 2-person or 4-person masu. Confirm whether the listing sells the whole box or only part of the capacity.
Chair seat
Second-floor arena-style seating. The official Tokyo guide places chair S/A/B/C/D in different row ranges.
A good choice for first-time visitors, comfort, and clearer budget control. Listings often combine SS/S/A/B/C/D with front, opposite-front, east or west.
Special seats
Some listings may mention lounge chair seats, pair seats, box chair seats or table chair seats.
These depend on the venue, session or ticket notes. Follow the listing text and organizer rules.
Wheelchair seat
Accessible seating. The official guide says wheelchair users should purchase dedicated wheelchair seats, not watch from masu seats while staying in a wheelchair.
Confirm ticket type, companion rules, entrance route and delivery method before buying.
Front
The official guide describes front-side seats as the same direction as the TV broadcast view.
Opposite front
The opposite-front side faces the reverse direction from the TV view, where you see the gyoji from behind.
East / West
East and west seats sit behind the east-side or west-side wrestlers. Listings may use 東, 西 or block names.
