FuJET Tokyo Sumo Tournament

Nothing can really sum this up better than a quote from a former FuJET president: "Woo! Fat men in tiny pants!"

About Sumo Tournament
The matches start early in the morning and last until early evening. The stadium is fairly empty in the morning and progressively gets fuller as the day goes on and the hotter matches take place. You can buy food within the stadium but it can be quite pricey. With your ticket, you can leave the stadium and re-enter '''one time only. '''However, you can bring in food and drinks from outside so bring what you want with you the first time around or you can organise one person to do a conbini run later on in the day. There is a conbini directly around the corner from the stadium.

Event Details
Where: Ryogoku, Tokyo

When: Mid-Late January

Cost: ~￥5000

What: Tickets for the next-to-last-day of the Tokyo Sumo Tournament.

This is more of a DIY sort of FuJET trip. You are responsible for your own transportation, lodging, and food. FuJET will only be providing your ticket. FuJET normally limits the official list of tickets to 25 people, however if you miss the sign-up for the initial 25 spots, still put your name on the waiting list! FuJET has been able to secure tickets for the overflow for the past few years and will most likely be able to do so again. FuJET cannot, unfortunately, promise that the entire group will be sitting together but they will try their hardest and work to make sure everyone is as close as they can possibly be!

Tips, etc
If you have opera glasses or something of that sort, you may consider bringing them with you. We are a bit removed from the match and you never know when you might want to catch a wardrobe malfunction.

After Sumo
It has become a bit of a tradition for people to head out to Ageha, Japan's largest night club, after the sumo festivities. Information about who is going and when normally posted and shared closer to the sumo tournament.
