Sumo in Fukuoka



I made it to the Kyushu Basho in Fukuoka last month, and the sumo was good fun and entertaining as always. I hope to make it an annual trip. If you have the opportunity to go, do it! Even if you think it might not might be your cup of tea, it will be a great cultural experience and you'll get to see your fellow Japanese spectators in a more relaxed and jovial atmosphere. But enough reading already, watch the video. お願いします.

Sumo

We take a trip to Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo, Japan. Watch as I document sumo matches from the lower ranks all the way up to the makuuchi level. We catch a glimpse of Asashoryu doing his yokozuna dance, and see a couple of vicious and too close to call bouts. Sit back and enjoy this sacred and entertaining competition called sumo.
