Watching sumo in Tokyo is a unique journey to deeply experience the charm of traditional Japanese culture. Sumo, a sport known as Japan's "national sport", can be traced back to thousands of years ago. It is closely linked to Shinto sacrifices. After years of baptism, it has evolved into a unique existence that combines competition and ritual. In Tokyo, you can watch the exciting competition of wrestlers on the earthenware hyori up close. The earthenware hyori of the competition venue is carefully constructed with straw bags, covered with special clay and fine sand on the surface, and a roof decorated with tassels is hung above, which is very traditional. Sumo wrestlers are divided into ten levels according to their performance, and Yokozuna is the highest honor. In the competition, the players wear loincloths and have strong bodies. Their pre-match rituals are solemn and mysterious. Sprinkling salt to purify the stadium, stamping feet to drive away evil spirits, and showing bare hands to show respect, a series of actions are full of deep meaning. During the competition, they use superb skills such as pushing, throwing, and catching to compete with all their strength in a short period of time. The winner is decided by pushing the opponent out of the ring or making his body touch the ground except for the soles of his feet. The excitement of winning or losing in an instant makes the audience's heart beat faster. During the official competition, the schedule is full from morning to night. In the morning, there are mostly newcomers' competitions, and in the afternoon, high-level wrestlers appear on the stage. The later the competition, the more exciting it is. There are also performance competitions, which mainly popularize sumo rules and perform some performances. You can also choose to watch sumo performances while eating. The audience can feel the power of the collision between the wrestlers and immerse themselves in the warm atmosphere of the scene. They can experience the lofty status of sumo in the hearts of the Japanese people, appreciate the martial arts spirit and cultural heritage contained in this ancient sport, and leave unforgettable viewing memories.3 attractionTakasago-beya Sumo Stable2.2
