This video takes place at the Ryogoku Kokugikan National Sumo Arena (on day two of my visit to Japan). Sumo wrestling has to be one of the more interesting sports that I have ever had the honor of witnessing live. This sport first originated in Japan roughly 1,500 years ago, but this is a rough estimate. Believe it or not, this is actually the biggest sumo arena in Japan. It houses roughly 20,000 spectators and is truly a sight to behold. This arena will typically host the Grand Sumo Tournament in the months of January, May and September. There are also three other tournaments throughout the year in Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka. Most sumo matches last only a few seconds, but fortunately there are tons of bouts throughout the day! My experience here was one I’ll never forget. Sumo wrestling is a spectacle, steeped in tradition, grit, and true artistry. I'll certainly remember this day for the rest of my life. And I hope you too get the opportunity to witness this Japan's national sport. Thanks for watching and please feel free to leave a comment down believe - either if you live in Japan, plan on visiting Japan, are a fan or the sport, or simply enjoyed the video!
I apologize for any words that I mispronounced in this video!! Japanese is hard! Ha-ha! -__-
