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.

Osaka tournament
Mar 8–22 at EDION Arena Osaka
Nagoya tournament

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
This is an explanatory diagram, not an exact seat map, row map or venue floor plan.

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

listed here

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.

Kesennuma City General Gymnasium: Complete Guide

Kesennuma City General Gymnasium is listed in the TIXVOY venue database as a multipurpose event venue used for upcoming sessions, ticket-area display, and buyer decision support. The current capacity field is about 3000, while actual sellable seats can change with stage design, standing or reserved layouts, safety routes, and event-specific production choices. This description intentionally uses a conservative data-backed scope: it is based only on the current venue name, type, and capacity fields, and avoids unverified claims about opening year, operator history, past performances, or transport details. For ticket buyers, the most useful checks are the ticket area, floor level, entrance, start time, nearby transport, and post-show exit flow. Stage direction, screens, barriers, and reserved sections can change by event, so front, side, rear, balcony, or stand areas may offer different sightlines and sound balance. When official address data, photos, seating maps, and access tips are added later, this page can become a fuller venue guide.

Before choosing tickets for Kesennuma City General Gymnasium

  • Venue type: arena.
  • City: Kesennuma.
  • Address: 1-1-1 Sakaecho, Kesennuma, Miyagi 988-0000.
  • Capacity record: about 3,000.
  • Map coordinates are recorded for route checks.
  • Nearest-station clue: 気仙沼駅 (JR大船渡線) + バス.

Do not judge a listing by price alone. Check the ticket area, floor, standing or reserved-seat setup, restricted-view notes, entrance, start time, and group arrival plan together. Stage direction, runways, barriers, screens, and temporary seats can change by event, so a normal seating map may not fully describe the view. For cross-city trips, prepare last-train options, lodging, lockers, and post-show walking routes before the event day. TIXVOY will keep strengthening this venue page with official address data, map evidence, venue policies, and real order-support issues.
