📣 Morning Sumo Practice Observation at Ohtori Taisha and a Shinto Lecture “Shinto and Sumo” ✨

One day only: Wednesday, February 25!
With the Grand Sumo Osaka Tournament in March just around the corner, Arashio-beya will stay at Ohtori Taisha and hold morning practice sessions.
You’ll see rikishi training up close, sweaty and covered in clay as they clash seriously. It’s a different tension and power from the tournament itself.
We’re also holding a special lecture by a Shinto priest on “Sumo and Shinto.” Learning about the relationship between Shinto and sumo will make watching the sport even more enjoyable ✨

🔹 Participation gifts: commemorative items from Arashio-beya and a limited-time goshuin (temple seal) from Ohtori Taisha

👀 Highlights
🔹 Watch Arashio-beya’s morning sumo practice from front-row seats
🔹 Shinto priest’s lecture “Sumo and Shinto Rituals”
🔹 Shrine visit and a brief introduction to the shrine by a Shinto priest

📅 Date and Time
🔹 Wednesday, February 25, 2026 — 7:20 AM to 11:00 AM
📍 At Ohtori Taisha

💰 Participation Fee
🔹 ¥7,000 (includes a commemorative gift 🎁)
📌 Application deadline: up to 7 days before the event (first come, first served)
