The “Grand Sumo Tournament Yokohama Tournament” will be held at Pia Arena MM on Thursday, April 16, 2026. The tour allows you to interact with sumo wrestlers up close, and features a variety of events that can be enjoyed by sumo beginners and fans alike. In addition to the bouts, don’t miss the performances you won’t see at the main tournament, such as the “Hairdressing Demonstration,” where you can see how a popular wrestler’s “O-Ginkgo” hairstyle is tied. There are plenty of laughs, including the “Hatsugiri,” a comical demonstration of forbidden moves and unusual finishing moves. One of the attractions of the tour is the opportunity to interact with popular wrestlers, such as handshake sessions and the chance to have your photo taken with them. The first ever tour will be held at Pia Arena MM. Keep an eye out for the impressive matches between the wrestlers.

The Grand Sumo Regional Tour is a “festival” created together with the people of each region where it is held, and is enjoyed in each region while spreading sumo culture. Its unique feature is its ability to appeal to local residents through a “distinct exposure method” not found in other advertising or sponsorship programs. Please consider sponsoring a “tour” to help liven up the local community. 【Sponsorship Inquiries】 Pia Corporation TEL: 052-939-5511 (Contact: Nomoto, Matsubara, Makida) MAIL:chubu_c@pia.co.jp [Example of some sponsored products] We offer leaflets at the entrance, eye-catching in-venue signs, and sumo-themed banners. You can also use the prize banners you see on TV to offer prize money for the matches.
