Sumo: Kyushu Basho
~
This year, wrestlers from as far as Russia, Egypt, and Bulgaria are competing. Kakuryu (Mongolian) is hotly tipped to win this tournament, but we’re cheering for Shohozan, Fukuoka’s very own sumo star! Sumo is an iconic part of Japanese culture, so don’t miss your chance to see the wrestlers in action!
