Exploring The World Of Sumo In Japan

It’s always been my dream to go to a sumo wrestling match so this was literally a dream come true. I didn’t expect there to be so many matches and it to last so long and to sit so far away. But after sneaking into the first floor, I was able to get a really good view… Before I got kicked out. I definitely wanna go back. I do appreciate that I had an English Tour Guide but I think I would go self guided next time. And I’m not gonna forget to book a Chanko Nabe  restaurant way in advance.

There are 6 divisions in Sumo,1 Makuuchi · 2 Jūryō · 3 Makushita · 4 Sandanme · 5 Jonidan · 6 Jonokuchi, rikishi, aka wrestlers, in the first 3 divisions have 1 match per day, unless there's a playoff on the last day, for 15 days which is the length of a basho, aka tournament. The rikishi in the bottom 3 divisions only have 7 matches.

私日本人だけど相撲見に行ったことありません。臨場感が伝わってきて面白かったです！
I'm Japanese, but I've never be to see sumo. This video gave me realistic feeling!

The ceremony you see at the beginning is called the ring entry ceremony, and the rikishi performing it is the Yokozuna, his name is Terunofuji. It does have a Japanese name, but i cant remember it right now.
