You can use this menu to change the currency of the prices. This is an approximation only. We always make our prices in Japanese yen and the exchange rate will be determined by PayPal or your credit card company on the date of payment.
Please understand that even if a ticket type is in this list, it might not be available. Weekends and holidays sell out extremely quickly. We strongly recommend that you plan at least one weekday when you can go to sumo and use this as one of your date choices. We limit the number of orders we take for weekends and some ticket types on weekdays.
Service charge includes our fee (1,200 yen) plus PayPal payment fees. The payment fees are a percentage of ticket cost, so higher-cost tickets have a slightly higher service charge.

The voucher should be exchanged at a stall to the right of the trophy case on the first floor (ground floor) of the venue, just after you enter the building. If you can't figure it out, show your voucher to one of the ushers inside the building and they should be able to take you to the correct place. Please do not ask about food sets at the ticket gate.
The following information is only for 15-day Grand Sumo Tournaments. 1-day special events will have different schedules, which we will send you by email.
Tickets are valid for the entire day, but you can arrive and leave at any time you want. Most people choose to arrive at about 2:30pm-3:30pm. The approximate times are in the table below:
The venue is called the Fukuoka Kokusai Center. Google Map You can get there by a short bus ride from Hakata Station (bus #88 or #99 from stop E), Tenjin Station (bus #80 from stop 2A) or a 10-15 minute walk from Gofukumachi(Fukuoka) Station (go out Exit 3, then go straight until you see the venue). If you want more help with the train, including directions from any station, we highly recommend this useful train-planning website.
