About this event
Commemorating the 20th anniversary of the merger of Iizuka City, the "2026 Winter Tour Grand Sumo Iizuka Basho" will be held at the Iizuka City General Gymnasium. Unlike the grand tournaments (honbasho), the local tour (jungyo) offers the unique appeal of wrestlers being more relaxed and closer to the spectators. It will be an opportunity to enjoy Grand Sumo throughout the entire day. This marks the first time in 13 years that the event is held in Iizuka City, and on the day when many wrestlers gather, the venue of approximately 3,800 seats is expected to be full, drawing attention as a major event that adds color to early winter in Iizuka City. Do not miss this valuable opportunity to see the valiant figures of spirited, popular sumo wrestlers up close.
