It looks like the sumo wrestler exhibition will be held again this year at ACTA Nishinomiya.
(Thanks to Yuripon and Kiharu Sanjuro for the tip.)
This year again, it’s supported by the “Grand Sumo March Tournament (held at EDION Arena Osaka).” That’s pretty amazing.
Grand Sumo Exhibition: Cheer On Wrestlers from Kansai!
When is it?
- March 3 (Tue) to March 7 (Sat), 2026, 10:00–18:00 (until 17:00 on the final day only)
Where is it?
- ACTA Nishinomiya, East Building 2F, Central Plaza
The “East Building” is the side with Coop and Starbucks, and the “Central Plaza” is the area where the street piano is located.
What it looked like before
We didn’t have photos from last year, so here’s a look at the 2024 exhibition.
So many sumo wrestlers.
You can also see scenes from sumo matches through professional photos. They’re really powerful.
You might not get many chances to take a two-shot photo with a sumo wrestler.
Lastly
This event is connected to the “Grand Sumo March Tournament” held every year in Osaka. Once you stop by, you may find yourself pretty captivated by the powerful presence of the wrestlers, so if you get the chance, why not check it out?
*Yuripon and Kiharu Sanjuro, thank you for the information!!
