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.

Ryogoku Kokugikan: Complete Guide
Ryogoku Kokugikan (両国国技館) opened in January 1985 in Sumida Ward, eastern Tokyo. Primarily built as the main sumo arena — it hosts three of the six annual Grand Sumo tournaments (January, May, September) on the central dohyo ring — the venue doubles as a 10,000-seat concert hall during the rest of the year. Concert-configuration capacity is approximately 11,098.
For concerts, the dohyo platform is removed and a stage is installed in its place; audience sightlines wrap fully around the stage from all tiers, delivering a distinctive in-the-round atmosphere unavailable at rectangular arenas. Major J-rock, K-pop, and idol acts have used Kokugikan for its intimate 360-degree feel. Traditional box seats (masu-seki) on the 1st floor seat four with tatami flooring; 2nd-floor standard seats face the stage conventionally.
Access: JR Sobu Line Ryogoku Station west exit — 2 minutes on foot. Toei Oedo Line Ryogoku Station is 5 minutes. From Akihabara the JR Sobu Line takes 4 minutes; from Tokyo Station, one transfer via Akihabara reaches the venue in about 15 minutes. Last JR Sobu service runs until around 00:30. Ryogoku Edo NOREN and the neighborhood's chanko (sumo hot-pot) restaurants provide distinctive pre-show meal options.
