Fukuoka Grand Sumo Tournament Tour with Local Guide Tickets
Title as listed by the operator: Yummy Guide inc.
Before you book
- Seat class (S, A, B or C) is not stated and can't be chosen; you pick your day at booking, and Fukuoka's box office sells no tickets at all in 2026.
- The guide gives a pre-entry briefing and admission help only; there is no guide inside the arena, so you watch independently from your chair seat.
- Meeting point is the main entrance of the Fukuoka Kokusai Center, arriving 10 minutes before the stated time; maximum 3 guests per booking.
- This listing does not say how its ticket is sourced; confirm the seat class and date with the operator, since resold tickets can be refused at the gate.
- Free cancellation up to 24 hours before; bouts normally run into the top division and the yokozuna, but no wrestler's appearance is guaranteed.
