Untying Sakai — Discover Even More: A “Shinto Ritual × Sumo” Tour Experience 🤼‍♂️⛩️


Did you know about the deep ties between shrines and sumo?
Join a guide as we unravel how every sumo ritual—from the shiko leg stamps to the sonkyo squat—connects with Shinto ceremonies.

On the day, you’ll also get to tour a training area that’s usually off-limits! ✨
(This is not an observation of live practice, but you will feel the atmosphere of the dohyo up close.)

All participants receive a goshuin shrine stamp and a sumo ranking banzuke that fans will love! 🎁
For two days only, official merchandise from the Osaka Spring Tournament will also be on sale.

📅 Date and time:
・Friday, March 20 (holiday) 2:00 PM
・Saturday, March 21 11:00 AM
📍 Meeting place: Ohtori Taisha Ema-do Hall
💰 Fee: 1,500 yen (includes goshuin and banzuke — cash only)
✅ No reservation required (about 30 people per session, first-come, first-served)
